Its not surprise that 28 days later and its latter sequel would be due another segment given the enormous cult following these films had.
28 Years Later is a true British horror film, with its beautiful northern settings, an amazing soundtrack by a Scottish group (Young Fathers), truly authentic acting which blends normal human nature with "rage".
There are complex ideas here, ideas which may either go over your head or you'll fully absorb. There's a sense of grief following the characters throughout, but also a sense of normality they try to maintain. A child's journey to becoming a man, and leaving childhood innocence behind. Strong paternal and maternal themes, more specifically maternal, where a certain scene was truly beautiful, allbeit horrific.
You can also feel Danny was almost channeling his emotions to you through the screen, with one scene that was honestly beautiful.
The ending is a real shift, but as a British person, it definitely piqued my interest. This is bold film making.
All in all, it is a solid 10/10 for me.
Commanding performances across the board, great writing, beautiful cinematography, real stunning and meaningful use of the northern countryside. It's a love letter to Britain, and a return to form for the 28 series.
I look forward to The Bone Temple in 2026, and pray Nia can keep the momentum going.

When you see the poster to a movie like Outlander you instantly expect a low budget mess.
This film still has so much creativity packed into it, and really cool concepts/ideas that the film is strengthened by these.
To keep it short, its worth a watch. Great performances, great storyline, some nice soundtrack pieces (there's a piece during a flashback scene that I really like) and great action.
Solid 8/10.
