  "description": "A more than capable sequel that trades in the lo-fi quality of the original, brings in a star-laden cast and leans a bit more towards gung-ho action movie. Britain has been emptied out of the infected (mostly). There's a lot to be said for them not being zombies per se. They're just infected. With a rage virus. Because some hippies raided a lab. But . BUT . That means they can starve and with England being an island and all, it'll sort itself out. Horrifically. I mean, that's all until someone turns out to be a carrier (is that because of or related to the fact that their eyes are two distinct colors? Maybe? Rose? Thoughts?). Who packs people into a dark room during an outbreak-induced lockdown? Add to that the fact that they didn't check other doors, just chained one. But hey, that's what you get for putting the US military in charge of your safety. Everything defends into the chaos you'd expect — Robert Carlyle is at first a coward and subsequently rage-driven father who conveniently survives a fire bombing. While Jeremy Renner is the one member of the military that is properly concerned with civilian safety. An all around, fun as hell zombie movie. Desaturated footage in a dreary English cityscape filled with rage zombies running full tilt and US military using fire with abandon. Not as novel as the original (it's a sequel — duh), but nearly as good. Give me all of the dystopian horror and science fiction you can author. Lord knows we'll be living it shortly. : I mean, just kidding — sort of. Animal rights are important, but be careful there kids.",
