Save your $$$ I've seen this film before, it was called 28 days later. Came across this review from one of Australia's best film critics - nail on the head I say.................Review discussion
AVID: (28 Weeks Later) A bit disappointed, Margaret.MARGARET: Oh?DAVID: And that was mainly because I think the director Fresnadillo’s idea of creating action and suspense is chaos. I mean it happens time and again during this film. Every time there’s something really dramatic, an attack or something really exciting is going on, he just goes chaotic - all over the place, and the music, which is a terrible music score, just goes boom, boom, boom, getting louder and louder and louder. I mean it’s sort of puerile, I think. MARGARET: You see, I have - would call it impressionistic rather than chaotic.DAVID: I think that’s true but you see – yeah...MARGARET: And I thought the way he used the music and the soundtrack, where it is really loud and then it goes to absolute silence...DAVID: Is so corny...MARGARET: I loved it. I’m a sucker for corn.DAVID: Yeah, and I don’t like impressionistic horror films. I like - I like my horror films to be - you know, to have...MARGARET: Explicit and gory and....DAVID: Well, it doesn’t have to be explicit and gory but it doesn’t have to be so that I don’t know what on earth is going on or who is doing what to who, so I was a bit disappointed with this.
