[bloodrayne]

I'm pretty excited about this one...It should be out soon

I wasn't too big a fan of the first one. it just drug on for me. it was nothing i hadn't already seen in a zombie flick. The plot for 28 weeks, doesn't sound too exciting either.

[DP McCoy]

I'm looking forward to this one,loved the first one so i'm hoping this sequel does the original justice.Robert Carlyle is good in pretty much everything he does and Danny Boyle is still involved,so i'm optimistic.

I was disappointed with the first one, hope this is better

I thought it was pretty good compared to a lot of other stuff that came out around the same time...We only get about 20-30 GOOD horror movies per year...I'd watch it again, and that means a lot to me...I usually don't care to watch the same thing over again...Of course, I wait a little while to try to forget most of it before I watch it again...

It's just about time for us to watch this one again :)



HaHa...I used the word 'again' way too many times in this post

[screamqueen]

I'm interested in this just to see where they take it after the first one. (I wasn' t crazy about the first one, but it was okay.)

[Roderick Usher]

I really enjoyed the first one. It was fast, hard, brutal and really well crafted. I'll certainly be going to see this one in the theater.

it wasnt actually a zombie movie they just bit you....and then you turn....it wasnt guts ripping etc.

[AmericanManiac]

Do you really think that there are 20-30 GOOD horror films each year or was that a typo? There are less than 30 major horror releases each year and most of them stink. I'd say it's more like 5 or 6 really good horror movies and a bunch of fluffers.

Movies that arent in theaters, independant films, and so on.

[bloodrayne]

Movies that arent in theaters, independant films, and so on.Thanks for clearing that up Sweetie :)...Many of the movies that I would consider 'good' never hit a theater screen...I also think that some movies are 'good', when many people may not have liked them

If you're talking about MAINSTREAM movies...I'd say we get about 5-10 that are at least worth watching...And of course, some years are better for it than others

[The_Return]

Im nott overly excited for this....really liked the first one, but it's really not sequel material IMO.

I'll still probably see it just to see how it turns out, but Im not expecting a whole lot.

I loved the first one,I can't wait for this one.

i just hope it doesnt open with a penis shot again:mad:

[Cryptkeeper]

It seems like they have been saying that this movie is coming out for a long time. I have been waiting for it. I liked the first one, but was not to crazy about the soldiers part. Still, I am looking forward to the second one. I just hope it's not too much of a let down.

[Unaboner3000]

I liked the first enough to at least rent the DVD of this one....which is saying something. I haven't exactly been thrilled with alot of horror films in recent years.

Are you hoping the writers are reading and will be tricked with your reverse psychology?


I'm very excited to see this one, I thought 28 Days Laters was a great new horror film when it came out. The story was well done and it felt really fresh and exciting despite the methodical pace which seemed to turn some off.

it was a nice new look at zombies

What!?! That was my favorite part in the movies, oh, besides those speedy zombies. I think every movie needs at least two penis shots. No balls though.

[Despare]

I wouldn't call 28 Days Later a zombie film, in fact that was one of the best parts about it. It was more akin to The Crazies then it was to Night of the Living Dead.

ya but the feel of it made me think i was watching a zombie movie

[Shadow]

I really liked 28 Days Later, definatly one of my favourites in my collection. I liked that it was not zombies. The fact that it was not zombies made it more scary. Human rage being brutal and powerful. The ending was brutal and to the point. Made me think yet still had effective gore. I am looking forward to seeing 28 Weeks Later, I just hope it is as good.

Just watched some raw footage of this,and i'm getting more and more optimistic about the movie.Check out the link over on UHM.

[slayer666]

I really liked the first one. It will be interesting to see what they do with this one. I'll certainly check it out.

[Mictlantechutli]

agreed

penises are wonderful and should be celebrated!

[horror_master]

Sound like a chep attempet to make more money offf a crasppy horror movie

[chaibill]

no i think it will be good
the cheap attempt will be in 3 years when they make 28 years later and they take it yup you guessed it into space.

i loved the ending of the first one when they made the message for the fighter jets. my bother said" Why not just spell H E L P " and i said " because this way it said H E L L until they finished the "O" . so i thought that was a cool smart ending

[Riff]

I loved the original, but my understanding is everyone from the original refused to be involved in this one. I take that as a warning...

Danny Boyle recently said that he thought the sequel looks so good that he'd consider jumping aboard a third installment if this one delivers at the B.O.

I may have to reconsider then... I still think it ended nicely as it stood though.

agreed. it falls into the "unnecessary" category, but that never stopped me from seeing a film:p

[stenchofdeath]

I liked the first 28 days , and i am looking forward to 28 weeks. I have only seen the promotional poster on the site and a promotional shot in a magazine. This is enough for me to want to see the sequel. I think the fact that it is coming out of London is why i liked the first movie. As somebody has said on this forum, we don't see many horror films coming out of London.:cool:

[ZombieKiller]

:D Hurrah! The sequel to the box office smash "28 Days Later" has finally been acknowledged to the general public. "28 Days Later" was one of my favorite "apocalyptic" movies and I can't wait to see it's sequel. Maybe it will suck. As many horror films go, the sequels usually tend to bomb. Take "The Hills Have Eyes 2" for example. The 2005 remake of "The Hills Have Eyes" was excellent(personal opinion). It gave me the chills for at least 3 days. It's sequel "The Hills Have Eyes 2", was absolutely horrible. I can not wait to fork over $8.50 to see "28 Weeks Later".

What do you think?

[novakru]

I want to see this

[Roderick Usher]

$8.50????

damn, it's $10.75 at my theater...but it's a 2 block walk:)

And yeah, I'll be seeing this in the theater for certain.

[Shadow]

Thank you for the trailer. This film looks great. A little disappointed that its different characters but at the same time their story has been told right. I think the repopulation idea is good (and clearly stupid lol who in their right mind would want to return after that lol). Im looking forward to seeing this film.

[the_real_linda]

I want to see this

me too....i saw the trailer at 'sunshine' and it looked really good....i loved the first one........up to when they met the military anyways.....then it was pants.....i hope the 2nd one has the impact of the first half of 28 days later

I enjoyed the whole film. I think the Military part was important to the feel of the film. It introduced the repopulation idea (in a crazy way) which is then followed up in 28 weeks later. It made sense and worked well. I think it showed the abondonment of the country, when even the military men where left on their own. In my opinion it showed the impact on different people. I liked the brutal scenes as the main characters tried to escape. Showing human rage. Sorry if you dont understand what I am trying to say I find it difficult to put into words.

[gracie]

I really liked 28 days later. I am looking forward to this new one.
This should rock.

I am waiting for DVD, as I usually do, but I am looking forward to seeing this. I loved the first one, thought it was a very solid, intelligent horror film with strong characters (rare in horror films lately.......most are so annoying I am just waiting for them to die as painfully as possible) and it is a part of my collection. I do believe the sequel is unnecessary, the first one ended it well enough, but it may still be a decent follow up. :)

Yeah, I too am wondering how they will start 28 Weeks...will they keep the characters from Days? Or just start out with completely new places and people? What element will give this one the 'teeth' that the first one had?
I don't think I have been this excited about a sequel coming out since...well, maybe never.

I want to see this in the theater but odds are against it...I wonder if I Save @ Netflix if it will give me an actual date?:D
I saved Moby Dick with Patrick Stewart last year and it still says Unknown:p

[Shadow]

I will be watching this in 1 hour :D
SO cant wait that long.
I will let you know what it was like.
Watch this space and hold your breath haha

[Dante'sInferno]

Watching it tonight at 12!Wooohooo!

[N2NOther]

28 Weeks Later does the seemingly impossible and out thrills and entertains it's already good predecessor...It suffers from some flaws in it's writing, and some contrived plotting, but it handles the horror and visceral thrills so well and so unpredictably that these flaws are easily over looked...

Not a fan of the overly hand-held, kenetic camera work but oddly enough I could stiill manage to see everything that was going on...

The problem with the writing is that unlike the first film which really felt like it was telling a story, this one feels more like it's using story to push the action forward as means to an end...It's inciting incident and then chase sequence after chase sequence...Which is fine because this movie is intense as hell...

I won't get into the plot contrivances specifically, but would it kill writers to NOT have people separate for no good reason?

So while 28 Days Later has a better story overall, 28 Weeks Later has more thrills, gore, and intensity...Which is fine by me.

9/10

All said much better than what I am about to attempt lol.

After being really excited to see this film I was in no way disappointed, it was possibly better than I even dared to hope.

I found the plot interesting and intense.

The gore and brutality excellent with some amazing scenes.

It was fast paced, edge of your seat stuff, with thrills and shocks to trow you back into your seat.

Lots of excitement, passion and blood.

Another 9/10 from me.

[GorePhobia]

I definitely agree with both of you. In my honest opinion it delivered what I wanted it to. It was intense, it was exciting and it was fun. I think it was better then 28 Days Later. A must see in my eyes.

9/10

[Misfit]

I loved 28 Days Later! Tis one I haven't yet got in my collection but will definitely be buying it, fucking great film and it has CILLIAN MURPHY IN IT!!! Great stuff! I'm really looking forward to watching 28 Weeks Later...

Hahah...so true. Thanks for the info.
