Better Never Than Later






28 WEEKS LATER-2007-Terrible sequel to the already overrated 28 DAYS LATER finds London admitting people back into the city but thanks to a woman “carrier” who infects her husband the cannibal zombies are back. So is the irritatingly shaky camera work. The infected woman’s kids are the lead characters. The US Army is the real villain here murdering both infected zombies and innocent humans. They even use napalm. It’s much gorier than the original, which might satisfy undiscriminating viewers. 

The director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (from Spain) had previously only made films in his native tongue. Maybe he should have done this one in Spanish.


Thanks for reading!

The "kids" got on my last nerve, especially how they went into the infected zone to get a picture (?!) of their mom. Urgh!
