Moviegoers are saying
This zombie franchise sequel has divided audiences like a machete through infected flesh, with fans expecting '28 Days Later' intensity but getting something that feels more like a confusing family drama with occasional undead cameos. While a passionate minority praise Alfie Williams's standout performance and unexpected character development, the overwhelming majority feel betrayed by sluggish pacing, incomprehensible plotting, and a finale that sets up sequels nobody asked for.

The Scottish green hills and forests make for an intriguing change of scenery for the series, with nighttime given that added edge of dread that comes with unseen menace and glowing eyes.

The film’s conception of the future, perceptively, looks back to humankind’s primeval past.
