Resident Evil 3 was bad. I’ve already written about that. But the zombie movie I just watched tops all others.

The very popular Maddox wrote in one of his post about the best Zombie film ever. Dawn of the Dead, because it’s got some of the good things he likes about zombie movies. I used to think that Dawn of the Dead was the best too.

But today, I watched 28 Weeks Later.

It’s a sequel to 28 Days Later, which is a pretty good horror/zombie movie. It’s fresh, because instead of the zombies being mindless, blur-cock and always hungry for flesh creatures, the zombies in 28 Days Later were driven by Rage. They’re suffering from a virus, called the Rage Virus.
What it does is that it makes you vomit blood when you’re infected, within seconds! Then you immediately get up with so much energy as if you’ve downed 20 Red Bulls or something. Blood start to flow out of every orifice of your body and you can suddenly run at top speeds to chase after your next victim.

You start looking around, not for flesh coz you’re hungry, but for live humans because… well… because they’re alive. You just wanna inflict maximum pain and ultimately, death. No reason. Just wanna kill. Not the swift quick kill, but the ‘beat and whack and peel eyeballs off and dig cheeks in with bare hands kill’.

That’s the stuff of 28′ series.

Hot military doctor, and cool sniper, protecting two kids from hordes of infected crazy freaks.

For 28 Weeks Later, the story continues from 28 days later, where things had settled down. And US Military is overseeing a huge operation to re-populate the nation of Britain.

Then something cocks up, and the shit happens all over again.

I love this movie coz’ it’s damn huge. So, here’s a list of things I like about this movie:

• Huge military operation
  • Snipers picking off Zombies from Rooftops
  • Snipers picking off Humans from Rooftops
  • Snipers picking off panicked snipers from Rooftops
• Massive massive chunks of flesh, loads of blood, and guts spewing all over the place
• Helicopter blades slicing heads and limbs off zombie creatures.
• City-wide explosions
• Everybody Dies… grotesquely! (that’s a spoiler for ya!)
• The meanest, baddest, freakiest zombies ever!
• Awesome shock value!
• People getting flamed by flamethrowers!
• Muse’s Shrinking Universe is in the soundtrack!

This movie is awesome. Go and watch it if you haven’t done so already.

There are two sequels to Zombie movie that tops it’s predecessor.

1.  Resident Evil: Apocalypse after Resident Evil 1
2. 28 Weeks Later after 28 Days Later.

Other sequels like Land of the Dead (damn disappointing) and Resident Evil 3 just plain suck.
