      Guessing the kid acting like a carrier at the end of the second movie allowed the virus to continue, and it is probably being intentionally spread by some sort of cult in this one.

          If I’m remembering right they’re not zombies in the traditional sense. They retain levels of intelligence. We see instances of the infected ambushing people, using their senses to actually track and route prey.

          I wouldn’t be surprised if in the following trilogy we see that the rage virus has evolved further. It could be that there are death cults built around the concept of the virus being diving punishment or cleansing the earth.

              Yeah, I guess I meant in the movie traditionalist sense. But you’re right. At the end of the day it’s fantasy so writers are gonna write.

              I hope things remain kind of vague tbh. It would be fun to question if these cultists are infected or not or if they like… microdose the blood of the infected as a desth ritual or something. Toeing the line between being infected and sentient.

              The bone structures really interest me. It also appears the rest of the world may or may not have recovered from the infection after the end of 28 Weeks. Military structure still seems in place as does tech advancement based on what the soldiers are wearing. Seems the UK is right fucked though.

              I really can’t wait to see this series.
