Even when there is no action, and the characters are just standing, the frame will often bob and weave as if the camera itself has palsy. No doubt he thought he was making art.īut the line between art and garbage has never been clearer and 28 Weeks Later is fully on the wrong side. The camera herks and jerks wildly from start to finish, creating an incomprehensible pastiche of grainy, blurry images.

It cannot be viewed by the human eye, because the director (Juan Carlos Fresnadillo) employs the shaky cam style to the point where the movie becomes a visual abstraction, more Jackson Pollock than cinematic experience.
I’m not exaggerating when I say the film is unwatchable. No, it’s the style of filmmaking, known as shaky cam, which turns 28 Weeks Later into a mess. This is a zombie movie, so that’s par for the course. It’s not the story - which is of course nonsensical and compels each and every character to do the stupidest possible thing at all times. In fact, 28 Weeks Later is essentially unwatchable. With a strong cast including Idris Elba, Jeremy Renner and Rose Byrne one would expect this film to be at least OK as far as genre fare goes. The point is that, even back in 2002, there were questionable decisions being made about this franchise.Ģ8 Weeks Later takes the Aliens approach to sequels - it’s the same basic premise as the first film, but now with more military and artillery to blow things up. It is so bad, in fact, that I actually thought this was a fan-made trailer at first, splicing together footage from other movies. It does, however, have one of the worst trailers of all time.
The franchise is also generally credited with popularizing the idea of fast-moving zombies, and I thought 28 Days Later was a decent flick, especially considering its subsequent impact on breathing new life into the genre. They are both about a “rage virus” ravaging the UK, and feature pretty standard zombie apocalypse narratives. 28 Weeks Later was the 2007 sequel to 28 Days Later, the 2002 Danny Boyle film starring Cillian Murphy which is often credited with jump-starting the Zombie Renaissance of the 2000s.
