It is 4 years after the events of (the excellent) first film and a large part of the Peninsula has been quarantined.A group of petty criminals are sent in to retrieve a truck full of booty from the zombie infested zone where they bump into the survivors of the plague who have gone all "Hearts of Darkness"
This is basically a duller version of Mad Max Thunderstorm on a fraction of the budget.The action relies on a lot of poor CGI and is very uninspired.The characters are flat, dull stereotypes and spend their time casting long, dull monologues at each other.
This film is much too long and everything that happens you will see a mile off.Like a lot of badly written apocalypse films the zombies are terrifying - until that becomes inconvenient then they are useless.
It is such a shame as the first one is such an excellent film
