28 Years Later: The Bone Temple2026

The first half had me in high hopes of it recreating the same tension and final act of 28 Days Later. And honestly, it did that for the most part considering how wacky and borderline cartoonish the characters were. And that’s apart from the whole plot line of Samson reverting back to some form of a human and normalcy, (ps: which was done beautifully till a certain train sequence which felt like the most unique perspective no other piece of zombie media has ever done, which really felt so real.)  But even that arc was brought to a hurry with no sort of earned ending, just felt like a restless attempt at humanising him asap and closing Dr. Kelson’s chapter, which was a lukewarm and unsatisfactory end to such a long built up relationship from the past two films.  Overall, I didn’t care for the kid, neither the members of the cult, only probably for Samson for the aforementioned reasons I wrote above. And spoilers: Cillian’s character from the first film returning at the end. Really pretty frames and equally scary shots and perspectives of how the zombies viewed their prey, the turning of humans into infected…and a really banger iron maiden homage.  I kinda rooted for this to be at par as the last one, but I’m kinda disappointed and just hopeful for the next to change that for me.
