Ralph Fiennes 28 Years Later: Temple of Bones
Sony Pictures
You’ve been waiting decades for the next sequel to Danny Boyle’s viral horror classic 28 days later and then two come. Hot on the heels of last year’s 28 years later, 28 Years Later: Temple of Bones follows almost directly after the provocative final scene of its predecessor, which introduced us to a murderous gang led by Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’ Connell).
Indeed, humans are the main threat this time around, with the “infected” represented primarily by Samson (Chi Lewis-Parry), aka Ian Kelson (Ralph Fiennes, pictured), with whom he has an unlikely friendship.
As the two stargaze and dance to Duran Duran (really), Kelson learns more about the virus and begins developing a cure. But the characters are on a collision course and come together in a truly heavy-metal finale.
Although it can be hard to watch, there is humor and humanity amidst the horror. If the third 28 years later the film succeeds, it can become one of the best film trilogies.
