The New York Times | A.O. ScottAdd Critic to Favorites

28 Weeks Later is not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach. It is brutal and almost exhaustingly terrifying, as any respectable zombie movie should be. It is also bracingly smart, both in its ideas and in its techniques.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Carina ChocanoAdd Critic to Favorites

28 Weeks Later lacks the streamlined thrust of its predecessor but makes for compelling, adrenaline-fueled viewing just the same.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Lisa SchwarzbaumAdd Critic to Favorites

Excels at creating a keen, creepy sense of a civilization stopped dead in its tracks -- vaporized, almost, except for those disemboweled bodies left still undisposed.Read the full review
