๐ŸŽฌ 28 Years Later (2025) โ€“ Full Review

After nearly three decades since the Rage Virus first devastated Britain, 28 Years Later marks a chilling and triumphant return to one of horror’s most iconic apocalyptic franchises. Set in a world still reeling from the trauma of past outbreaks, the film builds on the legacy of 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, delivering a new chapter that is as emotionally gripping as it is horrifying.
The story follows a new generation of survivors, some with direct bloodlines to characters from the earlier films, who uncover chilling truths about the virusโ€™s originโ€”and its terrifying evolution. What begins as a covert mission into a supposedly โ€œsafe zoneโ€ spirals into a nightmare of infected hordes, secret experiments, and moral dilemmas that question humanityโ€™s right to survive at all costs.
Director Danny Boyle (returning to the franchise) masterfully blends claustrophobic terror with high-stakes action. His signature cinematic styleโ€”gritty handheld camera work, tense silences broken by sudden violence, and pulse-pounding musicโ€”keeps viewers on edge throughout. The filmโ€™s atmosphere is bleak yet beautiful, capturing a ruined London overrun with nature and dread.
The performances are top-notch, with newcomers bringing fresh energy while seasoned characters provide emotional depth and continuity. The infected are more terrifying than everโ€”faster, more savage, and seemingly… evolving.
