A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Alan Jones

Intacto director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's sequel to Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later... retains the grim tone and sense of dread but on a more epic scale. Survivors of the rage virus infection that devastated Britain are now quarantined on London's Isle of Dogs, as the US army tries to oversee the resettlement of the city. Among them is Robert Carlyle, whose wife (Catherine McCormack) is presumed dead. But when the couple's kids discover her alive - and apparently immune to the virus - the consequences are both far-reaching and deadly, with army scientist Rose Byrne struggling to develop a life-saving vaccine. Frantic documentary-style camerawork places the viewer at the heart of the unfolding horror, and there's a clear parallel with Iraq in the spectacle of occupying foreign forces exacerbating the crisis. Evoking terror imagery from George A Romero's The Crazies and his Dead movies, Fresnadillo expertly orchestrates the galvanising, gory action as Canary Wharf goes up in flames.
