A worthy sequel that is recommended - even if you're tired of zombie flicks!

Every bit as visceral and provocative as the original, but cinematographer Enrique Chediak’s deserted London can’t hold a candle to Anthony Dod Mantle’s.

Certainly scary and nerve-wracking, but it’s also ham-fisted and monotonous; to call Fresnadillo et al. powerful filmmakers would be like calling the movie’s “infected” cannibals gourmet diners.

Fresnadillo's film is an undeniable triumph and one that horror fans will love for decades to come.

The infected just seem to bite, spit blood, scream and repeat a little too much.

A modern rarity: a smart, bloody, and truly horrific horror film.

Una digna segunda parte que mantiene el nivel de la original, de 2002, gracias a su ritmo inquietante, su nerviosa banda sonora y su escenario cuasi apocalíptico.

If a heart-palpitating, seat-jittering gore fest happily gets your blood boiling, you'll indeed seethe infinitely more this time around.

Scarier and more visceral than anything I've seen in a long while.

It's an exciting, well-directed thriller that, while providing more than enough action and gore to satisfy genre fans, also offers the political commentary that has characterized zombie movies.

This sequel takes its predecessor's derivative, remorseless premise and deepens it a bit, though I can't be alone in wondering why this, of all things, should be a franchise.

More of the same, with decidedly mixed results.

28 Weeks Later doesn't match the impact of its predecessor.
