28 Weeks Later
Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
Twenty-eight weeks after the spread of a deadly rage virus, the inhabitants of the British Isles have lost their battle against the onslaught, as the virus has killed everyone there. Six months later, a group of Americans dare to set foot on the Isles, convinced the danger has passed. But it soon becomes all too clear that the scourge continues to live, waiting to pounce on its next victims. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →I tell you what - 28 Days Later is probably the better overall film, but i VIVIDLY remember watching that opening scene of 28 Weeks Later in the cinema I still have scars from clenching my fists with anxiety!! I'm excited for 28 Years Later :)

neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched 28 WEEKS LATER and holy shit is this way worse than I remember. What starts as a very promising visceral horror film about survivor’s guilt and rebuilding post-apocalypse gets completely railroaded by characters just making the dumbest decisions imaginable. Harsh comedown from 28 DAYS.
negative · AI labelView post →28 Weeks Later is coming out soon. Also the FDA in the USA has stopped testing food. Do you think it's the Film or is it going to be the real event?
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie time! 28 Weeks Later! Super excited to see the zock/zick/zenis!
neutral · AI labelView post →28 Weeks Later is such an odd movie (not in a bad way). The setup doesn't really offer a clear trajectory, so the plot ends up feeling loose and episodic. Some decent set pieces, though, and that opening sequence really is a tour de force. I forgot how stacked the cast is.

neutral · AI labelView post →An underrated sequel with an iconic opening. Action-packed and full of intense scenes. Not without its faults, but I love it. So fun to rewatch. #filmsky My ★★★★½ review of 28 Weeks Later on @letterboxd: boxd.it/81L6dx
positive · AI labelView post →My horror-savvy movie-making 11 watched 28 Days Later, no problem. So we tried 28 Weeks Later, & it was much more jump-scare plus one scene too awful-gory even for a Walking Dead fan. What's early word on 28 Years? (People scolding my for WD & 28 Days will be blocked)
negative · AI labelView post →Tomorrow on the Main Feed: In anticipation of its legacy sequel, we're revisiting the original Danny Boyle film 28 DAYS LATER (2002). P.S. We also have a Patreon audio commentary on the sequel, 28 WEEKS LATER, if you're doing a franchise rewatch!
neutral · AI labelView post →Question for mutuals: What are some of the best opening 10-15 minutes of a movie ever? A friend asked, my nom was “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” others mentioned include “28 Weeks Later,” “Scream” and “Inglourious Basterds.” (Can go over or under, the numbers are just a guidepost.)

positive · AI labelView post →Okay. THAT'S a trailer. *Yowza.* Wishlist for this movie: 1) Be better than 28 Weeks Later. That... that's about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcvL...
neutral · AI labelView post →28 Days Later got all the love for revitalizing zombie movies but for me 28 Weeks Later is the one. Deeply sad, mean movie that thinks through the conceit in thrilling, experimental ways
positive · AI labelView post →#MarchMovieChallenge #FilmSky Day 14. Scientist in a movie. 28 Weeks Later (2007)
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching 28 Days Later was fun. Twenty minutes into 28 Weeks Later, and I completely forgot (or didn't know at the time) how packed this movie is with familiar faces. That opening sequence was pretty great. Most excited about the "Years" movies, but I'll enjoy this too. #MovieSky #HorrorSky
positive · AI labelView post →Watching 28 Weeks Later and my God this film is a pile of crap. The geography of it must be stupid even if you live in the US. It’s fine, we’ve run through Wapping snd St Paul’s and Westminster and now we’re in a weird park. Next stop, Wembley!
negative · AI labelView post →28 Weeks Later (2007). A good Iraq metaphor that depressingly is about to become a good Iran metaphor but a strange film in that I liked it well enough but I still don't know if 28 Days needed a sequel or this sequel. But going to see 28 Years Later so. Impressively nasty too.

neutral · AI labelView post →28 Years Later (2025) 5/5 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀 Reason: Can be talk. Seems some dislike this movie because not action/fight with zombies enough like 28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later. I’m getting bored of zombie killing action movies because they’re similar. Comment: Emotional, almost made me cry. Great movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →Sequels that didn’t. - Conan the Destroyer - Halloween II - Friday the 13th ad nauseam - All the Sherlock Holmes sequels - 28 Weeks Later - Aliens - Another 48 Hours - the Beverly Hills Cop flicks - Rambo 2 and 3 - Crocodile Dundee 2 - Death Wish 1 through 5 - The Dirty Harry Sequels I argue that most sequels don’t retcon
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching 28 Weeks Later and boy it isn’t any better second time. A deeply unfun movie with no real people in it and no point or view. Just a series of people you neither know nor care about making stupid decisions, with the exception of the first 10 min.
negative · AI labelView post →Revisiting 28 WEEKS LATER in anticipation of YEARS This movie, and its predecessor, were hugely foundational for me It’s holding up quite well. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo hugely talented. Wish he had a more robust career. (I should check out his latest, DAMSEL)
positive · AI labelView post →28 Years Later IS specifically about post-Brexit Britain but 28 Weeks Later is an allegory for the failed US reconstruction of Iraq and 28 Days Later is mainly just an apocalyptic zombie movie
neutral · AI labelView post →28 Weeks Later is such a funny film, the idea of reconstruction efforts in Britain beginning SIX MONTHS after we all got wiped out by a fucking zombie virus is so absurd
negative · AI labelView post →This reminded me that I still haven’t seen 28 Years Later. I saw 28 Days Later just this year; phenomenal. Spectacular film. That’s one of my fave Letterboxd posts, actually. 28 Weeks Later? Um. Well. Great gowns, beautiful gowns… 😂😂
negative · AI labelView post →I’m watching 28 Weeks Later for the first time, and I can’t recall another movie where they made so many strange story and production decisions.
negative · AI labelView post →Just booked our tickets for 28 Weeks Later, 28 Years Later, and my solo ticket for Peppa Pig's new film (because I'm dying to talk about the recent Mummy Pig controversy where a fictional pig gave fictional birth in a private clinic, in this economy, & then had to address the uproar from UK public)
neutral · AI labelView post →After a streak of good and enjoyable movies (Nope, The Boy and the Heron, Rebel Ridge) we have now seen a movie that was neither. 28 Weeks Later was terrible. I am shocked.

negative · AI labelView post →*28 Years Later* isn’t nearly as good as *28 Days Later*, but it’s way better than *28 Weeks Later*. IMO Honestly *28 Years* a very different movie than the others, but it’s good.
neutral · AI labelView post →I ended up going to see 28 Years Later last night. I'm a huge fan of the first movie, 28 Days Later. The 2nd movie, 28 Weeks Later, is not stellar. But it has its moments, and was a respectable second outting for a new franchise. This new movie? Y'all. This is a travesty.

neutral · AI labelView post →28 Weeks Later was the first film I saw in lockdown, and after 5 years of hindsight, I really think it's more optimistic than people give it credit for. It imagines a government whose #1 priority is saving millions of PEOPLE at any cost, instead of millions of DOLLARS.

neutral · AI labelView post →I haven't seen many people point out the similarities and differences between Don and Samson. Say what you want about 28 Weeks Later, but showing a freshly infected Don's POV for the entirety of the film was revolutionary. I can't get into spoilers, but Samson hits those notes in a different way. ☣️

neutral · AI labelView post →I haven’t seen “28 Weeks Later” since my early college years and had completely forgotten Idris Elba was in it (along with the entire plot of the film). It’s always nice to revisit things and recognize actors in roles before they were famous. The lovely Rose Byrne also features
neutral · AI labelView post →His best movie I think is Sunshine, which is basically Apocalypse Now in Space, but I did love 28 Days Later, and 28 Weeks Later has its moments.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's been a while since I've watched 28 Weeks Later, so last night I went into a rewatch of it with an open mind, because I could only assume my negative feelings towards it were being influenced by time and my deep fondness for the first movie. BUT NO it was worse than I remembered. Holy shit.
negative · AI labelView post →2025 watch #97: 28 Weeks Later. A phenomenal opening sequence gives way to a disappointingly conventional movie heavy on the jump scares. I suspect I'd be less annoyed by if it were a standalone feature and not a sequel to a much more artful film.
negative · AI labelView post →Today's first movie is 28 Weeks Later (2007) 🍿
neutral · AI labelView post →Last night I rewatched the original movie in the series, "28 Weeks Later." It was shot on camcorders, and despite being lo-res looked fine on an iPhone. The film has been largely unavailable for years but now BBC iPlayer now has it: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
neutral · AI labelView post →So 28 Years Later is not going to be A Movie, but is going to be Three Movies, where the first movie is a sequel to 28 Weeks Later and the second movie is a sequel to my goodness there goes any excitement.
negative · AI labelView post →idk, maybe these people are ppl who only watched 28 Weeks Later? (which does have a lot more action) but it's also, like, obviously the weakest film in the series
