We also have a fine (and star-studded) supporting cast including Jeremy Renner as a US Army sniper who finds himself risking his life to protect Carlyle’s children while also trying to save his own skin, Rose Byrne as an Army doctor whose warnings about the RAGE virus returning seem to be falling on the deaf ears of her superiors, as it always happens, and the always welcome Idris Elba as Stone the classic “everything will be fine” US commander archetype. It’s another fine piece of work from one of Scotland’s finest actors, even if he spends most of the film’s second half in a slobbering blood spewing reprisal of his role as Begbie from Trainspotting minus the hilarious dialogue. You can see this pain clear as day even as he finds himself lying to his children about what happened to their mother. You might hate him for what he’s done, but it’s clear that he hates himself more than anyone could for what he did. Carlyle at least tries to make you understand why Don had to abandon his wife because, at that moment, it seemed like he had no other choice. Carlyle’s great skill in the role is to make this potentially loathsome character sympathetic and human. My fellow Scotsman Robert Carlyle is great as always in the role of Don, a man whose failure to save his wife by abandoning her to her death looms over him. And much like the original, the scene ends with a moment of chilling quiet that makes your spine tingle and lets you sit in a puddle of your own sweat. The moment in which Don (Robert Carlyle) runs for his life as a large crowd of infected bears down on him is a brilliantly frightening shot.
The scene is frenetic in it’s pacing, nail-biting in its tension and is the perfect scene of raw terror. Speaking of the opening, 28 Weeks Later boasts one of my favourite horror openings, a quiet candlelit dinner that turns into the classic zombies overwhelming the farmhouse scenario. Rather than copying the original film’s quiet approach that both worked as a means of building a sense of eerie tension and poignant solemnity, Fresnadillo instead opts to give a film that goes for the jugular and give us a much more aggressive approach to the material from its opening minutes. While original director Danny Boyle sadly doesn’t return for the sequel (he remains as an executive producer) his shoes are more than adequately filled by Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Thankfully, in a case of expectations being exceeded and then some, 28 Weeks Later gives us a sequel that manages to mostly stay faithful to the ideas and themes of the original but is also willing to do its own thing giving us arguably one of the most underrated horror sequels of all time.
So, you can imagine my hesitation when it was announced that a sequel was to be made, especially considering that the original was so masterfully done and in all honesty really need a follow-up.
