‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Review: Nia DaCosta Brings More Blood, Guts And Brains To Danny Boyle’s Apocalyptic Zombie Franchise

Ralph Fiennes in '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' Sony Pictures Releasing/Everett Collection “No Children Beyond This Point” says the sign in the dilapidated water park, the shabby but perfect place to start the fourth instalment of the 28 Days franchise. Directed by Nia DaCosta, who more than earned her horror spurs with the 2021 remake of Candyman, 28 Days Later: The Bone Temple is certainly the nastiest and possibly the best of the series, a return-to-roots affair that plays like a reverse-angle on 28 Years Later. It was clearly shot back-to-back with its predecessor, featuring the same sets and a few of the same actors.

Key Highlights

  • But the familiarity it seems to offer is deceptive; all bets are off when it comes to survival, and DaCosta makes sure everyone goes out in the grisliest way possible.

  • Spike (Alfie Williams), the young adventurer from 28 Years, has been taken in by the Jimmys, a street gang led by the charismatic but psychotic Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell).
  • The Jimmys made a late, but jaw-dropping entry in the previous film, where their controversial outfits — blond wigs, tracksuits and the kind of jingle-jangle jewelry worn by depraved British TV personality Jimmy Savile — added a surreal, left-field jolt of WTF that almost derailed the ending.
  • This time, they are front and center, and the film’s strongest suit — praise Sir Lord!
