Knowing 28 Days Later, you pretty much know what do expect: pockets of character development quickly interrupted by flesh-chomping blood-spraying zombies, but with a bigger budget than before. The fast-paced/shaky camera/choppy editing/strobe lighting is all pretty effective, but it seems a pity that the attempts at some kind of characterisation (above all with Robert Carlyle) are so quickly abandoned, and in the end it doesn’t really go anywhere. Except, no doubt, on to 28 Months Later.
