These are strange films to review for me, mostly because I wasn't at all affected by them. They didn't move me in any way but also I wasn't sitting there thinking "When will this end." The first is probably a bit better than the second. Both films have their good bits and not so good bits but there is nothing really revolutionary here. I think there is a lot of concentaration in trying to make this seem like a terrible tragedy as there are a lot of scenes with no dialogue and shots of a broken England. The actual infectants aren't in the films much at all so this isn't an all out action. I stick by Resident Evil being the best zombie films and this doesn't do much to challenge that.

Both films are so amazing and so original if you like the whole post apocalyptic idea then this is definately for you. The actors are very good and action scenes a master piece.

I watched the first film on a quiet night with nothing to do with my mum. I wasn't expecting my mum to agree to putting it on.
I didn't move. She didn't move. It was only at the end when she needed the loo so desperately she just had to leave, or perhaps she was too scared to watch the rest. But it was fabulous. Lots of blood, lots of good looking people.

The second film, 28 weeks later, my mum just wouldn't watch because she'd seen the first one and couldn't bear it. So I watched it with my boyfriend and for weeks later I was constantly asking questions about the ending to anyone that would listen. 'So has it finished?' 'Is that the end?' 'What just happened?'
Even now I can still scare my boyfriend with ketchup down my mouth and crazy running. mwahahaa.
