This week we review and discuss 28 Years Later, a postapocalyptic horror movie by Danny Doyle and starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes. 28 years after the rage virus outbreak, the story follows Spike, a boy living in a village in the Scottish Highlands off the coast of infected Britain, who ventures into the mainland to find a doctor in search of a cure for his ill mother.
We discuss how the movie fits in with the rest of the franchise, why it is the most sophisticated zombie story we have ever seen despite serious story and worldbuilding flaws, the handling of topics such as life, death and love in a world defined by death, the intriguing use of English iconography in a Scottish setting, and much more.
