Nothing satisfies the appetite for allegory quite like a movie about flesh-eating zombies. Somehow the genre, at least as practiced by its masters, has the capacity to illuminate some brute facts about the human condition and its contemporary dysfunctions. There are not many recent movies that match, for example, the social criticism undertaken by George Romero in his “Living Dead” cycle.
Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later” and its new sequel, “28 Weeks Later,” directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, may not quite be in Mr. Romero’s league, but at their best they come close to his signature blend of grisly horror, emotional impact and biting satire. There is, of course, plenty of literal biting as well, since the virus-crazed creatures known as infecteds crave the flesh and blood of their erstwhile fellow citizens.
Ok, quanto scritto dalla miss autrice dell'articolo è sufficiente per farmi attendere con impazienza l'uscita del film in Italia a settembre. Da zombi-fan doco, Romerano puro che sconfessa persino l'ultimo capitolo della sua tetralogia, 28 giorni dopo mi ha molto positivamente stupito tempo fa. Da recuperare il DivX che ho in archivio quindi, e da attendere l'uscita di questo sequel....
