I really enjoyed Danny Boyle’s breakout hit 28 Days Later the first time around. It looks like it’s becoming a franchise with 28 Months Later, which I recently saw. It picks up where the last one left off and England has been quarantined and is being rebuilt with the help from the American military, one of the commanders Idris Elba seems out of place for me since he played Stringer bell on The Wire. The always-reliable Robert Carlyle stars as one of the survivors who is haunted by an incident where he was forced to leave his wife behind as they were attacked by zombies. I don’t to give too much away but it's a clever screenplay by Alex Garland with a lot of action and suspense. There’s plenty of great cinematography and amazing locations in London.

I have to say, I thought this one was definitely an inferior product to the first. But it was still scary as hell. As with the first one, I couldn't take the garbage out until the next day after watching it. I was terrified one of those fast moving zombies might bite my face off.

I don't know, I thought the opening scene in the abandoned house was pretty creepy in 28 Weeks Later, but I enjoyed both.
And I do remember seeing it with you Bonnie.
