REVIEW: ‘28 Years Later’ deftly revives a franchise of the undead

Summary

59% Informative

Danny Boyle ’s new movie a jump-start to a dormant franchise and the first in a new trilogy.

Fiennes appears midway through, dyed yellow with iodine and apologetic about the tower of skulls in his backyard.

The tone is one finely wrought by bursts of adrenaline, with the relationship between mother and son given real emotional weight.

" 28 Years Later " has enough meat on its bones to serve as more than just a warmup for the next installment, due in 2026 .

You get the sense that this property is just getting (re)started, though, with a cliff-hanger ending that doesn't leave the audience twisting in the wind.
