I think this is at least partially because the film was an outright British-American co-production. Within 10 minutes, the camera cuts are already piling up, shaky cam is in full effect and the man positioned as our main protagonist is running for his life from a horde of the infected. While not entirely gone, the quieter moments that the original did so well are less frequent and shorter.

So, on paper, it felt like a potential cash grab at the time. Then, of course, there’s the fact that it’s arguably closer to a spin-off within the same universe rather than an outright, traditional sequel because none of the original’s cast returns. While 5 years is far from an egregious gap in a franchise, it was just long enough for the idea of a sequel to start fading from the public consciousness. However, when his wife is found alive, she may be the catalyst for the nightmare beginning all over again…Ģ8 Weeks Later was somewhat of an odd sequel. Two of those refugees are his children, Andy (Mackintosh Muggleton) and Tammy (Imogen Potts) and his life is finally looking good. Racked with guilt after fleeing an attack and leaving his wife Alice (Catherine McCormack) to die, he has finally begun to piece his life back together with a good job in the new United Nations “security zone” that is allowing refugees to return to their homeland. In this action horror sequel to the 2002 classic, Don (Robert Carlyle) is a survivor of the original infection of London that nearly brought the entire UK to its knees.
