Synopsis:

Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new story set in the world created by 28 Days Later. It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

You probably saw it doing the rounds on social media during the pandemic: that haunting clip of Cillian Murphy, in his hospital scrubs, looking bewildered at an abandoned Westminster Bridge and the empty city that lay beyond.

The iconic scene from 28 Days Later, Danny Boyle’s classic 2002 horror/sci-fi movie about an infection that turns unlucky victims into flesh-eaters (they’re not technically zombies, OK?), took on a different hue during the desolate days of lockdown, but it was always packed with meaning.
