28 Years Later (2025)

Almost three decades since a rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory, a small group of survivors live in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine village off the coast of Scotland. A father (Aaron Taylor Johnson) takes his young son (Alfie Williams) to the mainland to hunt infected mutants for sport. Directed by Danny Boyle (SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE). The third entry (or sequel if you prefer) in the 28 DAYS LATER film franchise. It's a grisly example of gore porn, this is a thoroughly unpleasant movie. The first half hour is torture to sit through as director Boyle seems to relish and dwell over every bleeding hole, decapitation, hanging intestines etc. It improves after that but honestly, it's still a relentlessly downbeat movie whose main purpose seems to be to gross out its demographic audience. If gore porn is your thing, go for it. For others, I suspect they'll be repelled by it as much as I was. With Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell.
