28 WEEKS LATER Film Review - 2/7/07

A really duff attempt to kick-start a new franchise with this shoddy sequel to "28 Days Later". Getting in A-lister Robert Carlyle (Who obviously needed to pay the Rent that month as he does his angst driven role on auto-pilot) and a role for Harold Perrineau from TV's "Lost" has a bloody guts and splatter quotient upped to persuade the market it's up there with all the rest - Dullsville! With a slight tang of atmosphere from the get-go it does go downhill to the obligatory sequel set-up for Part 3 if it makes enough cash this time round. With none of the good points from the original half the time it is hard to see what is going on as the camera is viewing things from different perspectives and flying around so much it's just a fast transition of information you can't take in. There are better Zombie flicks out there!
