28 Years Later" is a masterclass in horror-thriller filmmaking-its haunting visuals, gripping performances, and finely tuned balance of tension and control create an unforgettable cinematic experience.

The cast delivers powerhouse performances that ride the emotional currents of fear, hope, and survival. Terrifying-But Not Overbearing What makes this film exceptional is its restraint. It knows just when to unleash shocks and when to hold back. The fear emerges gradually-an encroaching tension, a half-glimpse of something moving in the corner of the frame, the murmured fear in someone's voice. When the terror comes, it's visceral and unforgettable. But the film never tips into gratuitous gore or relentless shock; it lets the audience breathe between moments, building anticipation and suspense, deepening the investment in characters' fates.

"28 Years Later" stands out as a horror-thriller that truly works on all levels. Its visual storytelling is breathtaking. Its performances are raw, real, and powerful. And its emotional pacing is pitch-perfect-intensely terrifying, yet always controllable. This is one of those rare genre films that doesn't just scare you; it stays with you long after the credits roll.

Didn't expect much. Paid homage to classic 70's horror movies. Unlikeable characters that were given sufficient depth to make you care enough to not want them to be the next kill which made it refreshing. A little too gorey in parts for me but a well shot movie none the less. Cannot understand for the life of me why they didn't just cast older people as the central characters though. Just pointless having younger actors in prosthetics for the sake of it. Would have been much better if they just cast older aged actors. A simple yet fun movie that was original enough but with clear nods to some of the classics from the past.

As someone in my 40's I have grown up with Haloween. Michael Myers has been haunting me since my childhood. Tales of babysitters getting slashed were shared throughout the playground and the dark brought Myers closer to me and my school pals. However this movie has pretty much done it's absolute best to destroy the legend and discredit any belief that pure evil does exist. Weak plot, awful supporting actors and zero empathy can be found with any of the cast. Needs to be left alone. Should have stopped after haloween 4 if the truth be told. They somehow turned the shape in to a weak angry pensioner.
