A Continuity of Rage and Horror

Rage and horror continue to loom in the upcoming sequels "28 WEEKS LATER" and "THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2" where larger forces of evil are at work and more dangerous than ever.

In "28 WEEKS LATER," six months after the rage virus has annihilated the British Isles, the US Army declares that the war against infection has been won, and that the reconstruction of the country can begin. In the first wave of returning refugees, a family is reunited - but one of them unwittingly carries a terrible secret. The virus is not yet dead, and this time, it is more dangerous than the previous one.

"28 WEEKS LATER," the sequel to the 2003 international smash hit "28 DAYS LATER" is directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo who first earned a following with Spanish audiences when he was nominated for an Academy Award in 1997 for his comedy short film ESPOSADOS which went on to win 40 national and international awards. In 2002, he won Spain's prestigious Goya Award for Best New Director for INTACTO, starring Max Von Sydow and Leonardo Sbaraglia. "I am thrilled to be working on my first English language film alongside such an exciting international cast and talented production team, they provide me with all the elements to make an extreme horror film," says director Fresnadillo. The movie is executive produced by Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting," "28 Days Later," "Sunshine").

In the annals of modern fear rises up another horror sequel "THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2." The landmark tale 'The Hills Have Eyes," reinterpreted in 2005 by sizzling hot "Splat Pack" filmmakers Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur, delighted and terrified a new generation of fans with its blood-soaked, horrifying update. With its box-office success and the public demanding more, film legend Wes Craven teamed up with his son Jonathan to bring us its sequel.

"THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2" is a gritty, ferocious, and relentlessly suspenseful tale of a National Guard unit which unwittingly ends up in mutant territory where their nastiest nightmares come terrifyingly true. After spotting a distress signal in a distant mountain range, the team decide to embark on a search and rescue mission into the hills in order to locate missing scientists. Little do they know that these are the very hills that the ill-fated Carter family once visited, and that a tribe of cannibalistic mutants lies in wait. The film is directed by cutting-edge filmmaker Martin Weisz, whose recent film "Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story" has both won acclaim and stirred up controversy for its graphic depiction of modern day cannibalism. Thus, the combined talents of Wes Craven and Martin Weisz create the ultimate horror experience not to be missed, and never to be forgotten.

"28 WEEKS LATER" and "THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2" opens very soon in theaters nationwide from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
