28 Days Later .... and a sequel?!!

The main criticism of this film is the way that - in any attack sequence (and there are plenty) - the texture of the film changes to being more grainy and - more importantly - almost sped up. It's very off-putting, though if you're not a blood and gore afficionado, it acts as a useful warning.

The opening scenes with deserted streets in London are great (although Cillian Murphy's character does seem to walk a very strange route from St Thomas' Hospital, over to Bank and then back to the City), and the feel of the film is good too.

I'm curious how a sequel can be done, bearing in mind that those infected all seem to be dead at the end, but maybe there's a twist I didn't anticipate....
