Danny Boyle’s acclaimed post-apocalyptic horror saga that began with “28 Days Later” and continued with “28 Weeks Later” now introduces its latest chapter, “28 Years Later.” This latest installment reunites Boyle with writer Alex Garland, marking their first collaboration since the film “Sunshine” in 2007. “28 Years Later” stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, and newcomer Alphie Williams.
The film unfolds on Holy Island, a remote location off the coast of England, where Taylor-Johnson’s character, Jamie, resides with his family. They strive to survive amidst the lurking threat of the infected, who remain a constant danger just off their shores.
In a creative approach to filming, “28 Years Later” was captured using modified iPhone15s across various English locations, including Northumberland’s Lindisfarne, North Yorkshire, Somerset, County Durham, and Tyne and Wear.
Not only is “28 Years Later” a continuation of the cult-favorite series, expanding on the aftermath of the Rage Virus, but it also presents an exploration of human resilience. The film delves deep into the dynamics of family and survival as the world around them descends into chaos.
For those who missed the theatrical release, “28 Years Later” is now available for streaming on Netflix, bringing the intense and gripping journey straight to your screen. Whether a longtime fan of the series or a newcomer to the saga, this film promises not only horror but also a thought-provoking exploration of human endurance in the face of a dystopian reality.
