Decades after the rage virus reshaped Britain, a new chapter unfolds in a landscape where faith, violence, and survival have fused into something stranger than the infected themselves.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Review — Winter Horror Gets Mythic

★★★★½ 4.5/5

Nia DaCosta and Alex Garland expand the rage-virus saga with Ralph Fiennes, ritual dread, and a 91% Tomatometer winter horror that Empire's genre desk ranked among January's essential theatricals.

The franchise's coldest, most ambitious chapter — not as immediately accessible as the sprint, but the horror movie 2026 needed in dead of winter.
