Danny Boyle’s ’28 Years Later’ Unleashes a New Era of Apocalyptic Horror
Living through the real-world COVID-19 pandemic makes 28 Years Later — a sequel to 2007’s 28 Weeks Later — all the more impactful.
After a mass “rage virus” — a lab-made disease that mixes symptoms of Ebola with unrelenting fury — led to an apocalypse, one group has been living isolated on a small island for decades.
When one member (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) leaves to explore the mainland, he discovers unthinkable misery and violence. Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) gives what could be a standard-issue horror film some serious cinematic cred.
28 Years Later | In theaters Friday, June 20
