28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

The original 28 days later is one of my favorite movies ever so I literally counted the days for painful 18 years since 28 weeks later until the new trilogy was finally announced. The first 28 years later was a bit of disappointment for me, but the bone temple is all I waited for those many years! The movie follows 2 core of characters where they left off the last movie. Spike now is forced...

"That was some gory !@#$. Holy !@#$! Is it safe to open me eyes?" **SPOILERS AHEAD!** I was hesitant to watch this after the previous installment, but I saw Ralph Fiennes in the promo images and figured "I like Ralph Fiennes, and I liked the doctor from the previous movie, so why not?" The best three things from "28 Years Later" take center stage in "The Bone Temple": The doctor, the "How...

I'm not quite as taken with "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" as I was with its immediate predecessor. The considered, intelligent, insightful aspects of this film, embodied in Ralph Fiennes's Dr Ian Kelson character, are undermined with the re-introduction of the stabby satanic fashion refugees from the closing scenes of the last film. I was critical of their rather ridiculous Clockwork Orang...

Boring temple. Half the movie isn't the guy they talk about. He's cool. The kid is cool. The mom is cool. Why do I have to watch the rest? Would have rather the focus been on resolving whatever situation with the guy they stole the baby from. Could have been better and shorter.

If you’ve ever had conceptions about films being dumped in theaters in January because they’re not worthy of being released any other time of the year, then 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple easily shatters or redefines them. Filled with meaningful performances that catapult an already engrossing story, the 28 Days Later franchise is more promising than it’s ever been. https://www.giantfreakinrob...

With “Spike” (Alfie Williams) now a captive of “Sir Jimmy” (Jack O’Connell) and his other “Jimmies”, you wouldn't give much for his chances of survival. Terrified and hopelessly out-knived he must face a duel to survive, but even if he wins what awaits him under the control of this megalomaniac who considers himself the direct heir of Satan himself? Meantime, the iodine-coated “Kelson” (Ralph Fien...

This was everything I wanted the first one to be. Doc. Samson. I have talked ill of mid-film song and dance performances. This exquisite morsel of a film won me over. My 16 year old satanist self was losing his little mind in there. Not even a film. But this bit is. Certainly not the awkward, clunky garbage bits we have to deal with as we get close to Maiden. King Jim and his gang is ...

Back in 2002 an 18 year old sat in her local cinema and viewed one of the best zombie films of her generation. Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later changed the game and kickstarted a true juggernaut franchise. Little over 23 years later, a slightly older and still horror obsessed girl sat in a cinema to see the next installment. However this wasn't just a continuation. Nia DaCosta has created a thrilli...
