He tells them everything but leaves out the crucial part about him leaving her instead implying he saw her die. Re-united with his kids Don is quizzed about the exact events that saw the kids lose their mother. His skills seemingly so in demand that he as an ‘access all areas’ pass (this will come up again later in the film). They were at a boarding school in Spain when the outbreak hit & haven’t seen their parents since.ĭon, having hooked up with the army now uses his engineering skills to keep District One (safe zone on the Isle of Dogs) going. Among this group are 2 children, Tammy & Andy who are the children of Don. 28 weeks after the initial outbreak the Americans come to help re-populace London bringing in the first settlers. Over the next couple of months the infected die of starvation & London is declared infection free. The shot of Don running for his life while chased by 20 infected is terrifying. It’s a great reminder of the threat the infected pose, just how quickly the virus spreads & the danger that comes from even one at your doors. This opening sequence is incredible & harrowing to watch. Under attack almost all the survivors are killed & Don abandons Alice (I kind of have a different view on this that I will get to) escaping to a motorboat nearby. After answering the frantic calls of a young boy who they allow inside they discover he was followed by the infected. Opening during the initial 28 days of the first movie we meet Don (played by an excellent Robert Carlyle) & his wife, Alice (played by an excellent Catherine McCormack) who are hiding out in a farmhouse outside London alongside a handful of other survivors. Any sequel would be hard-pushed to match let alone better the quality that evident throughout the first.ĥ years after its release we have our sequel, cleverly titled 28 Weeks Later. 28 Days Later was a film that probably didn’t need a sequel.
