On this day in Horror History, 28 Weeks Later made it’s theatrical debut. The adored sequel to 28 Days Later (2002), it takes place 6 months after the rage virus decimated London. Although a third installment titled “28 Months Later” from Director Danny Boyle has been rumored, it has been discounted because rights to the franchise are frozen between several individuals who are no longer on speaking terms. Until then, the ’07 release from Juan Carlos Fresnadillo will remain as the close to the infection film franchise that has solidified its place in horror history.
“We are headed for the green-zone, our area of security and reconstruction, designated as District One. District One is located on the Isle of Dogs. Although the Isle of Dogs is completely safe, the surrounding area of London is not. There are a large number of bodies still left to be cleared from the original outbreak of infection. Rats and wild dogs are prevalent, as is disease. New arrivals are reminded, for their own safety, it is absolutely forbidden to cross the river and leave the security zone. You will be joining 15,000 civilians who are already resident in District One. As we approach your new home, you will notice a dramatically increased military presence. The U.S. Army is responsible for your safety. We will do everything we can do to make your repatriation as easy as possible. Inside District One, however, we believe you'll be pleasantly surprised. We have hot and cold running water, 24-hour electricity, a medical center, a supermarket, and even a pub.”-DLR Soldier
