3/5ScaryDemonic & religiousPsychologicalSurvivalZombie & infectedApocalyptic

The short version:A visceral 28 Days Later sequel that balances intelligent character study with graphic brutality, focusing on the damage humans inflict rather than the infected. Expect sustained dread from a satanic cult storyline, substantial gore, and the psychological horror of a young boy forced into violence—offset by the moving arc of a scientist attempting to restore humanity to a zombie.
