28 Weeks Later

Set, as the title suggests, 28 weeks after the outbreak of the rage virus that ravaged London, the first wave of survivors are returning home, albeit confined within a fortified section called District 1, an area patrolled incessantly by the American army. Don (Carlyle), who left his wife behind to be attacked by those infected, attempts to build a new life with his children - Andy (Muggleton) and Tam (Poots) - but a carrier of the disease somehow infiltrates the 'safe' zone and Don is inadvertantly responsible for setting the whole circus in motion again. One of those rare sequels than measures up to the original, 28 Weeks Later is a welcome surprise - an Aliens to Alien.
