I finally got around to watching 28 Weeks Later, the sequel to 2002′s 28 Days Later, about a week ago.

Now I love a good horror flick, and zombie movies in particular are a guilty pleasure of mine.  (Of course, as the filmmakers are quick to point out, “the Infected” in 28 Days Later and its sequel aren’t “zombies” in the traditional sense of the word.) 

Overall, I enjoyed 28 Weeks Later; it’s a worthy sequel, and I do recommend it, especially if you’re like me and watched the first film but held off on seeing the second.  It’s definitely worth a rental.
