On the thirteenth night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister joins me in reviewing 28 YEARS LATER (2025), from director Danny Boyle with a script by Alex Garland. Set nearly three decades after the Rage virus devastated the UK, the film focuses on a small, isolated community living on a fortified island off the English mainland. Twelve-year-old Spike (Alfie Williams) ventures onto the infected mainland with his father (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) for a coming-of-age ritual, but their journey is interrupted by mutated infected and a crisis concerning Spike's terminally ill mother, Isla (Jodie Comer). In a desperate act to find a cure, Spike defies his father to take his mother to a reclusive doctor named Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), leading them on a perilous trek where the evolving nature of both the infected and the surviving humans is revealed. The film clocks in at 1 h and 55 m, is rated R and we caught the film on Netflix but you can also catch it to buy/rent on Prime Video. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
