28 weeks later = complete rubbish though.

Not a massive fan of zombie type stuff as a rule, but really thought this one was great.

*mandatory they aren't really proper zombies post*

first 20 mins is as good a first 20mins on film. however the 2nd half of this film is possibly the worst pile of shit known to western civilization.

utter utter utter bollocks.

the explosion scene near the start is an absolutely choice piece of editing. quite marvellous.

the scene where he's walking through a deserted London is absolutely mesmerizing. Possibly one of the greatest things i've ever saw on screen.

But like someone else has said, I prefer the first half to the second.

that the American production company who put the money up for it had a lot more influence on the second half, hence it slipping to being almost really fucking terrible.

Every second of this film is perfect until the VERY moment the army men pop out with their guns.

The fact they have a pet one. And its just like, WHY would this bunch of soldiers be so evil? What would they have to gain from being such dicks to the survivors? It was cartoony. The way Ecclestone is like 'My men need pleasure.' like Shredder or something.

And the way they dress the girls up in 19th century outfits. And the way he doesn't say to Celina he isn't infected. Just waits for her to see if she'd go through with her 'in a heartbeat' shit.

God this is all so bad.

Yet this is and will probably be for a long time one of my ultimate favourite films. It is THE only film that scares me and shits me up and THE only zombie film that got it SPOT ON. Although the Dawn of the Dead 2004 one was pretty close to equalling it - only not as good because it was American, and full of black guys with shotguns, pumping them and saying things like "let's rock".
