Just saw 28 Weeks Later. Pretty good, cheesy fastforward with shakycam, artsy music for dancing with the zombies. By the director of Trainspotting. No Joss humor tho.

Reminded me of 28 Days.

28 Months in 2010.

Those movies were great. Glad to see we're getting more of them. Thanks for the heads up :)

Woman, you are completely off your nut.

Actually that third trailer you have is for the movie Doomsday, not 28 Months Later. It came out almost 2 yrs ago and as cool as it looked it was absolutely terrible.

DFTBA!

There's a category of B movies, or C movies, slapped together and released before the targeted A movie, that plagerizes names and scripts, to play on confusion by the public.

There's a couple of 2012 takeoffs named Doomsday 2012, etc.

This Doomsday movie even uses the same music as 28 Days. Plus the wrong name on youtube. "Trailer" uses actual clips from 28 Days Later. Sneaky guerilla marketing.

PN, Doomsday wasn't actually one of those knockoffs, it was done by Neil Marshall, who also wrote/directed Dog Soldiers and The Descent. The Descent, in my opinion, was a pretty great horror film. I even enjoyed a lot of Doomsday, it was very tongue-in-cheek, and you had to be expecing that kind of thing and take it lightly.
I doubt that trailer was their marketing. More likely someone thought it liked like a 28 Months Later and so chopped some clips together and put it online.

If you want to see how bad those knockoff movies look, search for Asylum films. They've got knockoffs like Transmorphers, Paranormal Entity, The Terminators, Sherlock Holmes (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective faces the ultimate challenge when enormous monsters attack London).
