Directed by Danny Boyle, 28 Years Later (2025) reignites the iconic 28 Days Later franchise with a chilling blend of psychological tension and visceral action. Boyle, known for his kinetic storytelling in Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire, reunites with writer Alex Garland to explore a post-apocalyptic world where the "Rage" virus has evolved, testing human resilience in new ways.

The film follows survivors isolated on an island fortress, only to unravel a darker truth: the virus has mutated, and some humans have adapted to its fury. Cillian Murphy’s return as Jim (now a infected figure) and Jodie Comer’s strong performance as a resourceful survivor anchor the narrative, while Ralph Fiennes adds gravitas as a mysterious doctor. Boyle’s signature shaky camerawork and bleak British landscapes amplify the dread, though some may find the pacing uneven—shifting between slow-burn drama and bursts of chaotic violence.

Ultimately, 28 Years Later succeeds as a thought-provoking sequel, blending social commentary with horror. It’s a must-watch for fans of the series, though newcomers might want to start with the original.
