28 Weeks Later: DVD Review, Blu-ray disc Review

For horror buffs, the movie to see now.

This tense sequel to Danny Boyle's "28 Days Later" opens with a shock of promise and, for the most part, it sustains it.

Somewhere outside London, in a farmhouse sealed against the legions of virulent, blood-hungry zombies carousing for flesh not far beyond its doors, are a gathering of men and women living in near darkness.

They survived the scourge that collapsed much of mainland Britain in the first film and now are awaiting some sign that the rage virus, as it's known, has passed so they can move among the living. That is, of course, assuming anyone else is alive, which this group of frightened folks doesn't know.

But when a young boy comes hammering on the door, they quickly realize they aren't alone and let him in. Trouble is, the boy was being chased by legions of the undead, and by letting him in, they now join him in being a target.

Let the feasting and the fight for survival begin, with Robert Carlyle, Imogen Poots, Mackintosh Muggleton, Jeremy Renner and Rose Byrne all wading through the entrails, the lot of which are enthusiastically spilled.

Rated R. Grade: B
