“There are many kinds of death, and some are better than others”
Overview
After the Rage Virus outbreak, days became weeks, weeks became years and now Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle and acclaimed writer Alex Garland reunite to bring us 28 Years Later. Nearly three decades on, even as the British Isles remains under strict quarantine, a community of survivors have secluded themselves from the mainland on the small island of Lindisfarne. Searching for medical help for his wife’s (Jodie Comer) mysterious illness, one of the group's scavengers Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) takes his son Spike (Alfie Williams) on a mission into the wilds where they discover what time has done to the infected and non-infected alike.
“Call it Disemb-owell and Pressburger: an unholy hybrid of A Canterbury Tale and Cannibal Holocaust... Danny Boyle’s best film in 17 years”
“A gnarly piece of gruesome art”
“It’s thrilling to watch a new entry in a horror franchise veer completely off the rails of its chosen genre... baffling, disturbing, and profoundly absorbing in its idiosyncrasy”
Why You Should See This Film
As we continue to endure Hollywood déjà vu in the buffet of sequels, remakes and reboots, 28 Years Later reminds us that creatives daring enough can still find wildly new experiences in tried and tested genre spaces. As Garland’s thrilling, strange and surprisingly moving script takes on shades of medieval folk horror, Danny Boyle and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle return to the experimental roots of 28 Days Later, innovative for its use of early DV cameras, by glimpsing the post-apocalypse with iPhones and all manner of unconventional setups. Refreshingly, the fire inside Boyle has reignited; a filmmaker vehemently opposed to doing things the normal (lame) way.
