On Jan. 16, a sequel to the movie 28 Years Later, titled 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, was released. It follows a child named Spike who is trapped in a satanic cult after 28 years of a zombie outbreak, and a doctor who befriends one of the zombies after figuring out how to pacify it. Spike is stuck trying to escape the cult, while they go around committing heinous actions on the uninfected residents. White Spike does this, the Doctor, whose name is Kelson, learns that using morphine, he can suppress the virus. This leads to him making other profound medical discoveries as the film goes on.
I really enjoyed this film and thought it was an excellent sequel that seriously deepened the world of the movie. The movie was extremely gruesome with amazing kills, leaving a stunned audience. It also very well balances this gruesomeness with awesome suspense. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie, waiting to see what would happen next. The characters are also excellent. One of the plots of the movie follows a group of satanists who wear different colored tracksuits and all go by the name Jimmy. They follow a man also named Jimmy, who believes that the virus was sent by Satan and that they should kill people for him. It is very intense but also interesting to see a different take on what happens to the people who survive an apocalypse.
The other plot of the film follows doctor Kelson. Doctor Kelson is an older man who collects the bones of every dead person he can find and stacks them up. This is where the film gets its name, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Though he sounds insane, he only does this to embrace death, and is actually a sweet man. We get to follow him as he tries to cure an infected zombie he calls Sampson. It is a really interesting plot and unlike any zombie movie I’ve seen before. The soundtrack in this movie is another high point, with lots of awesome songs and tense scores.
In conclusion, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is definitely worth a watch because of its awesome characters, story, effects and music.
