The prologue, which takes place early in the crisis, offers an old-fashioned zombie attack as hands crash through the boarded-up windows of a besieged house. Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, of the outstanding and unusual Intacto, evokes what Boyle did on the first film without slavishly copying him. With Danny Boyle and Alex Garland otherwise occupied by Sunshine, a new creative team takes over. Like Aliens, it ups the action scale by bringing in Yanks with big guns, which - as George Romero has often shown - means even more peril for ordinary folks caught between plague and the authorities. Simply because it’s a ‘part two’, it isn’t as fresh, but enough changes are rung to stop it feeling like a remake.
This sequel extends the story in intelligent, suspenseful ways. 28 Days Later was a traditional British science-fiction/horror movie with added smarts and innovative style.
