What does it matter if a fight is well choreographed if the audience can't get a clear picture? (My complaint for the recently released The Condemned was similar.) In 28 Weeks Later, it's a source of frustration because I was interested in what was happening but the filmmaker's approach robbed me of the ability to appreciate any scene where there was a fight, chase, or other form of action.Ģ8 Weeks Later is a direct sequel to Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, although none of the characters from the first film have returned. It's a good way to cover mistakes and encourages laziness. Unfortunately, it has become increasingly more common. I wish this problem was restricted to 28 Weeks Later. I didn't realize a character had died until, a little later, it was apparent that person was no longer around. Also, the climactic struggle takes place in darkness, making it that much more difficult to decode the action. As if that wasn't bad enough, in the editing room, Fresnadillo ensured that no single shot lasted longer than about a second. Apparently, Fresnadillo believes that the proper way to film any action scene is to shake the camera violently and pan it wildly back and forth, thereby making it virtually impossible to figure out what's going on (and pushing viewers with motion sickness to the brink of voiding their stomachs). Sure, it's repetitious and much of it has been regurgitated from 2003's 28 Days Later, but it contains some interesting elements and offers enough gore that horror fans might have been able to enjoy it… if, that is, it wasn't for the stylistic approach employed by director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. In actuality, the screenplay for 28 Weeks Later isn't all that bad. The film also stars Ari Lehman (Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th), Linnea Quigley ( Night of the Demons), Joe Bob Briggs & Diana Prince aka Darcy the Mail Girl (“The Last Drive-In”), Lloyd Kaufman ( The Toxic Avenger), and Doug Bradley (Pinhead from Hellraiser).Another week, another disappointing summer sequel. ![]() Unfortunately for Michelle, some uninvited trick-or-treaters from her past come knocking…and this time they’ve brought their friends…” Now in college, Michelle and best friend, Heather ( Sable Griedel) are put in charge of the annual Gamma Tau Psi haunted house. However, she is still plagued with the questions of what truly happened to Sam and Josh ( Mitchell Musolino and Will Stout) and the rest of her friends that disappeared on Halloween night. “It’s been three years since Michelle ( Lexi Dripps) escaped the events in Wheary Falls. Now, the Halloween horror movie has a follow-up sequel The Barn Part II, which arrives exclusively on SCREAMBOX this Friday! ![]() Seaman‘s 2016 horror movie The Barn (from Terror Films), a retro throwback horror movie that took you back to 1989. “So yeah, I love the idea and it’s very appealing to me.” It really stands up, which is amazing for a film that’s 20 years old.” Because I showed it to my kids recently, some Halloween about four or five years ago, and they loved it. But every time I do bump into Danny or Alex I always mention it. But a third part would get people in, if it was half-decent.”Ģ8 Days Later star Cillian Murphy comments with a laugh, “I think there’s a problem with that, in that I’m 20 years older. It’s hard for companies distributing films and for cinema chains to show films, they’re struggling to get people into the cinema unless it’s something like Top Gun: Maverick or a Marvel. Anyway, we’ll see… who knows?”īoyle adds, “It might come back into focus because one of the things that’s happening in the business at the moment is it has to be a big reason for you to go to the cinema, because there are less and less reasons. ![]() It’s funny, I hadn’t thought about it until you just said it, and I remembered ‘Bang, this script!’ which is again set in England, very much about England. “ It feels like a very good time actually. “ I’d be very tempted ,” Boyle tells NME, referring to the script that Alex Garland ( 28 Days Later, Annihilation, Men) has written. In a new 20th anniversary chat with NME that was published this week, the 28 Days Later director noted that a script has been written – and now may be the time to dust it off. But maybe, just maybe, Danny Boyle is ready to bring the infected back to the screen. Another sequel, 28 Months Later, has been talked about multiple times over the years, with all parties expressing interest but the project never coming to life. It’s been 20 years since the release of 28 Days Later, which was of course followed by sequel 28 Weeks Later in 2007.
