28 Days Later


Watched 28 Days Later last night. This is the sequel to the 2000 horror flick 28 Days which starred a horrific and drunken Sandra Bullock. In the sequel Sandra has transformed into a English man (disappointingly, no explanation was offered as to how this happened) and has fallen off the wagon to such an extent that she has been in a drunken coma for at least four weeks (or two fortnights for those of us who use the metric system)! She awakes to find that a virus has infected almost everybody else in Britain and turned them into murderous rage-filled monsters (or 'soccer hooligans' to you and me).

From this amusing premise, the movie rapidly descends into a non-stop collage of senseless violence, edited together with such rapidity that at no point is one ever completely sure what is going on, other than that there is grue and butchery and mass-slaughtering of random individuals. It's all rather gross and incomprehensible and backed by a soundtrack that seemed determined to compensate with volume that which it lacked in melody or rhythm.

And, hey, if I had any desire to see that kind of thing I could have just stayed home and watched a Robbie Williams video clip.

Begone,

Indy
