28 Weeks Later

28 Weeks Later is the sequel to 28 Days Later, one of my personal favourite movies ever. It's a brand new cast and crew for "Weeks", and they have big shoes to fill. The cinematography, the acting, the writing, the characters, the horror. They are many things that would need to be top notch to reach the quality of the first one. The characters and the actors that play them are great. The story is just as interesting and it's a very well written movie. The opening scene may be the best opening scene I have ever seen, but it goes downhill from there. The terror from that scene only makes a couple more appearances. The camera work is fantastic throughout but certain moments in the first few minutes are the best. The movie is not scary the whole time, but when it is scary it's very scary. The movie loses it's way a couple times, something 28 Days Later never did, but does get back on track. It is hard to compare this movie to it's predecessor because they are so different. Not a classic, but still a very good film. It is one of the better horror movies I can think of, with riveting drama and the emotional pull that the first one had. Overall, this is probably going to be the best horror movie of the year.
