I didn't think 28 Weeks Later was so bad as to deserve exclusion from this closer - is it possible you've never seen it? (Homework!) I think I saw it when it came out and my memory is: Pales in comparison to 28 Days Later, but in a vacuum not bad? Plus: pre-fame Jeremy Renner

Lol, I saw 28 Weeks Later on opening night and as much as I wanted to like it (Robert Carlyle! Idris Elba!) I really felt the absence of the folks who were involved with the first movie. It’s technically well made and I get that they were trying to make the whole thing an allegory for the invasion of Iraq, but it just didn’t have the intense atmosphere of the first film or the humanist heart. So I don’t really consider it part of the canon.
