It's not often that a sequel is better than the original. It's also not often that a non-zombie movie is a better zombie movie than most zombie movies!! However, I think the Rage virus featured in 28 Weeks Later qualifies pretty much as a zombie-making virus. Technically, the infected aren't "undead," however I noticed several brutally injured people still trying to move around. Zombie movie, outbreak movie, the two blend well here!
What words sum up this movie, do you say? Brutal. Visceral. Suspenseful. Take everything you know about horror movies, and throw it out the window. This movie has so many twists and turns as to who lives and dies. They break all the rules. And it's that feeling of not knowing who's next that's awesome!
I don't want to say any more for fear of maximum spoilage, all I can do is highly recommend it. Great story, great action, great scares, and a setup for a third movie. There are two scenes in particular that are mostly incredible awesome, that were done in other movies, but were done so much better in this one.
