Movie Review: Boyle, Garland Bring Life to Zombie Genre '28 Years Later'

  • '28 Years Later,' directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, is now showing in UK cinemas as a Sony Pictures release rated R for strong violence and grisly images.
  • The film follows Spike, a 12-year-old boy living on quarantined Holy Island with his sick mother Isla and father Jamie, as he embarks on a coming-of-age journey to seek a doctor on the mainland.
  • The story is set nearly three decades after the rage virus pandemic emptied mainland UK, with survivors rebuilding society on Holy Island under foreign military quarantine.
  • Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer star as Jamie and Isla, delivering strong performances in a narrative that balances horror with tender reflections on mortality and human connection.
  • Boyle plans a trilogy, filming the second installment back-to-back, with '28 Days Later: The Bone Temple' directed by Nia DaCosta set for early 2026 release, suggesting continued exploration of this pandemic world.
