28 Years Later is a 2025 post-apocalyptic coming-of-age[6][7][8] horror film produced and directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland. The third instalment in the 28 Days Later film series, following 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007), it stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Alfie Williams in his feature film debut, and Ralph Fiennes.

Plans for a third film began shortly after the release of 28 Weeks Later. The project had numerous delays over the years regarding conflicts over the franchise film rights, stalling it into development hell. Development gained traction in 2024, when series producer Andrew Macdonald bought the rights to the first film back from Searchlight Pictures, which he then sold to Sony Pictures on the provision the studio agreed to fund sequels. 28 Years Later marks the returns of Boyle, Garland and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle to the series, all of whom worked on the first film, with original star Cillian Murphy also serving as executive producer. It was shot back-to-back with its sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, set to be released in January 2026.

28 Years Later was released in the United Kingdom and the United States by Columbia Pictures through Sony Pictures Releasing on 20 June 2025. The film received positive reviews from critics and has grossed $106.1 million worldwide against its budget of $60 million.

Plot

[edit]

In 2002, during the initial outbreak of the Rage Virus,[a] a young boy named Jimmy flees from his house in the Scottish Highlands after being attacked by his infected family. He takes shelter at the local church, where he finds his father, the local vicar, praying. Believing the outbreak to be the Day of Judgment, the priest interprets the virus as a harbinger of the end times. He gives Jimmy a cross necklace and urges him to flee before allowing himself to be overtaken by the infected and leading them out of the church, enabling Jimmy to escape.

28 years after the second outbreak,[b] the Rage Virus has been eradicated from continental Europe, while the British Isles remains in indefinite quarantine. A survivor community lives in Lindisfarne, a tidal island connected by a fortified causeway. Among them are Jamie, a scavenger; his wife Isla, who has an unknown illness; and their 12-year-old son Spike. Jamie takes Spike to the mainland for a coming-of-age ritual. Village leadership reminds Spike of the dangers of leaving the island and, while he is free to go beyond, rescue missions will not be launched for those who fail to return.

On the mainland, they find an infected branded with the name "Jimmy" inside a dilapidated cottage and encounter a pack of infected led by an Alpha, a mutated variant of the infected who are stronger and more intelligent. Returning to the cottage to evade the infected, they observe boats patrolling the sea and a distant fire on the mainland. A stampeding deer herd triggers the partial collapse of the cottage, and Jamie and Spike return to Lindisfarne across the partially inundated causeway, pursued by the Alpha until sentries posted by the villagers use a homemade ballista to kill it.

After a raucous celebration, Spike witnesses Jamie having sex with Rosie, the village schoolteacher. Returning home in shock, he finds Sam, who has been looking after Isla. When Sam hears about the fire, he explains that it was presumably lit by Dr Ian Kelson, a former GP. The following morning, Spike asks Jamie whether Kelson could cure Isla; Jamie grows angry at Sam, and explains that Kelson was seen burning corpses in an apparently ritualistic fashion. Spike guesses that Jamie would prefer for Isla to die and threatens him with a knife. He then secretly returns to the mainland with his mother, hoping Kelson can provide treatment. Stopping to rest for the night in a ruined church, Isla kills an infected while in a dissociative state.

Swedish soldier Erik Sundqvist and his unit are forced ashore after their patrol boat sinks. Erik is the sole survivor after an Alpha and a pack of infected attacked his unit. He encounters Spike and Isla, rescuing them from another pack, and joins their search for Kelson. The group finds a pregnant infected woman temporarily exhibiting semi-docile behaviour, whom Isla helps give birth to an uninfected infant. Believing the baby is infected, Erik kills the mother and prepares to kill the child, but the Alpha father intervenes and decapitates him. The Alpha chases Spike and Isla until Kelson appears and subdues it with a morphine-laced blow-dart. He leads Spike, Isla, and the infant to a clearing where he has constructed a pyramid of human skulls, which he describes as a "memento mori".

After examining Isla, Kelson deduces she has terminal cancer. At her request, he incapacitates Spike and euthanises her with a morphine dart. He cremates her body and preserves her skull for his pyramid (as he was doing with the bodies Jamie saw him burning). Kelson gives Isla's skull to Spike, who climbs the top of the pyramid and places it as a memorial. After another confrontation with the Alpha, Spike and Kelson escape, and Kelson encourages Spike to go home with the infant, telling him, memento amoris. Spike returns to Lindisfarne and leaves the uninfected female infant, whom he has named Isla, at the village gate with a note for Jamie explaining her origins and saying he will return when he is ready. Jamie, realising Spike is alone on the mainland, tries to follow him, but is blocked by the rising tide.

28 days later, while evading a group of infected, Spike is rescued by a gang styled after tracksuit-wearing Jimmy Savile,[9] led by an adult Jimmy.

Cast

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]
28 Years Later saw the returns of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland to their respective roles as director and screenwriter from 28 Days Later. Cillian Murphy, who portrayed the lead role of Jim in Days, returned as an executive producer.

In June 2007, Fox Atomic confirmed development on a third 28 Days Later film, dependent upon the financial performance of 28 Weeks Later following its home video release.[14] In July of the same year, Danny Boyle said that the story for a third installment had been mapped out.[15] By October 2010, Alex Garland stated that due to differences involving the film rights, the project had been delayed.[16] In January 2011, Boyle stated that he believed the project would be realised, confirming further developments for the story.[17] By April 2013, however, the filmmaker expressed uncertainty as to whether the movie would be made.[18] In January 2015, Garland addressed the project's status, confirming that while it had fallen into development hell there were serious discussions going on behind the scenes to produce the project. Reiterating that development was progressing, he stated that the script he was working on would tentatively be titled 28 Months Later.[19] In June 2019, Boyle confirmed that he and Garland had been working on the third installment.[20] In March 2020, Imogen Poots expressed interest in reprising her role from 28 Weeks Later,[21] followed by Cillian Murphy in May 2021.[22]

In November 2022, Boyle, Garland and actor Murphy all indicated their interest in making a sequel to 28 Days Later.[23] In June 2023, Boyle and Garland expressed in collaboration their intentions to "seriously" and "diligently" see the project enter production; while announcing that the script was now titled 28 Years Later, acknowledging the years it had taken to be developed. Boyle stated that he would like to serve as director, unless Garland chooses to.[24] By July of the same year, Murphy stated that he had recently discussed the possibility of a third film with Boyle; once again expressing interest in reprising his role if Boyle and Garland return to the franchise in their creative roles.[25]

In January 2024, it was announced that a third film titled 28 Years Later was officially in development; with plans for the project to be the first of a new trilogy of sequels. Danny Boyle will direct the first instalment, with a script written by Alex Garland; while the latter will also write the scripts for each of the planned sequels. Boyle, Garland, Andrew Macdonald, and Peter Rice will serve as producers.[26][27] In February of the same year, Murphy discussed his potential involvement with the project; that same month, Macdonald had bought back the rights to the first film from Searchlight Pictures, promptly selling it to Sony Pictures for future distribution, as well as rights to future sequels.[c][28][29][30] In March 2024, Garland confirmed that he is writing a trilogy of sequel films.[31] The following month, Garland stated the film Kes was a major influence on his work for 28 Years Later.[32] Murphy was revealed as an executive producer later that month.[33]

The film was produced by Columbia Pictures,[34] and DNA Films,[35] with funding support from TSG Entertainment.

Casting

[edit]

In April 2024, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes were cast to star,[36] with Jack O'Connell joining the cast in May.[37] It was initially reported that Cillian Murphy would reprise his role as Jim,[38][39] but in January 2025 the film's producer Andrew Macdonald confirmed he would not appear, though he remains an executive producer.[40] Erin Kellyman was added to the cast in June 2024.[41]

Filming

[edit]

Principal photography began on 7 May 2024 in Northumberland,[42][43] with Anthony Dod Mantle serving as the cinematographer.[44] Filming wrapped on 29 July.[45]

The film was primarily shot using an iPhone 15 Pro Max,[46] in addition to action cameras, drones, and other digital and film cameras.[47] The use of small digital cameras harks back to filming the original 28 Days Later using the Canon XL-1 digital camcorder, which was manoeuvrable enough to film the deserted locales within the time limits allowed by officials.[46] The film was shot in a 2.76:1 aspect ratio, reminiscent of productions using Ultra Panavision 70, which was chosen to emphasise the unpredictability of the infected and to heighten tension by compelling viewers to "keep scanning" the wide frame.[48] Scenes were shot at 4K resolution at up to 60 frames per-second, and in some scenes the actors performed their own camera work.[49] Some shots employed a bullet time effect, created using a custom-built circular rig equipped with eight to twenty iPhone cameras.[48] This setup also allowed scenes to be filmed from multiple angles simultaneously, giving Boyle greater flexibility during editing.[48] Boyle explained that using iPhones allowed the crew to film with minimal equipment, providing easier access to the rural landscapes of Northumbria while minimising environmental impact and helping to preserve the area's natural appearance.[49] The iPhone's default camera software posed some challenges for filming because its automatic focus tended to prioritise the brightest or most prominent object in the frame rather than the intended point of dramatic focus, requiring manual overrides to achieve the desired cinematic effect.[49]

Filming mainly took place in the north of England, in the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber regions. Locations include Lindisfarne off the Northumberland Coast, Hexham, Bellingham, Kielder Forest, Rothbury (Northumberland), Newcastle upon Tyne (Tyne and Wear), Waskerley (County Durham), Melsonby, Ripon, Fountains Abbey, Aysgarth Falls, Redmire (North Yorkshire) and Bradford (West Yorkshire).[50][51][52][53][54] Some scenes were filmed at Plankey Mill Farm, near Langley and Bardon Mill (Northumberland).[51] In addition, some filming took place in Cheddar Gorge in Somerset in South West England.[55]

Music

[edit]

In May 2025, Young Fathers was confirmed in composing the film's soundtrack, succeeding previous composer John Murphy.[56] The soundtrack was released on Milan Records on 20 June 2025.[citation needed]

Release

[edit]

28 Years Later premiered in a special day-ahead preview on 19 June 2025 at the Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle upon Tyne, attended by director Boyle and local actor Williams, as well numerous crew, service providers and extras from across the surrounding Northumberland area who were involved in the location shooting of the film.[57] It was released in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada by Sony Pictures Releasing on 20 June 2025.[58]

The full 1915 recording of Taylor Holmes' recital of "Boots" that was used in edited form in the film's first and second trailers, as well as during the film.

The first trailer was released on 10 December 2024.[59] It features the 1903 poem "Boots" by Rudyard Kipling, recited by American actor Taylor Holmes in 1915. The trailer became #1 trending on YouTube, and in 48 hours had over 10 million views. Stuart Heritage, the film critic for The Guardian, particularly noted the use of Holmes's spoken-word recording of "Boots" and commented: "As of now, though, it's just about the most exciting film of 2025. And this is entirely down to its trailer."[60][61] The trailer's viral success led to Sony's decision to re-release the original 28 Days Later film on digital platforms on 18 December 2024, two years after it had been made unavailable by its former distributor, Disney.[62]

Reception

[edit]

Box office

[edit]

As of July 2, 2025, 28 Years Later grossed $53.4 million in the United States and Canada, and $52.7 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $106.1 million.

In the United States and Canada, 28 Years Later was released alongside Elio, and was expected to gross around $30 million in its opening weekend from 3,444 theatres, with some estimates going as high as $45 million.[63][3] The film made $14 million on its first day, including $5.8 million from Thursday previews.[64] It ended up debuting to $30 million, finishing second behind holdover How to Train Your Dragon and becoming the highest opening weekend of the franchise.[65]

Critical response

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 89% of 311 critics' reviews are positive. The website's consensus reads: "28 Years Later taps into contemporary anxieties with the ferocious urgency of someone infected with Rage Virus, delivering a haunting and visceral thrill ride that defies expectations."[66] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 76 out of 100, based on 55 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[67] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale, while 52% of those surveyed PostTrak said they would definitely recommend it.[64]

Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph gave the film 5/5 stars, writing, "Call it Disemb-owell and Pressburger:[clarification needed] an unholy hybrid of A Canterbury Tale and Cannibal Holocaust which Boyle was perhaps uniquely placed to pull off, and which stands as his finest film since 2008's Slumdog Millionaire".[68] Ed Potton of The Times also gave it 5/5 stars, writing, "The sense of hallucinogenic sweatiness won't be to everyone’s taste but [Garland] and Boyle should be applauded for taking such big swings and having the flair and confidence to pull them off. It's an astonishing piece of work."[69] Rolling Stone's David Fear wrote, "Whether it all comes together as a satisfactory whole or is merely a sum-of-parts extension with little more to say is anyone's guess. Taken on its own, however, Boyle and Garland's trip back to this hellscape makes the most of casting a jaundiced, bloodshot eye at our current moment."[70]

The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey gave it 3/5 stars, describing it as "a post-Brexit, Covid-conscious take on this world, with ideas about nationalism, isolationism, and weaponised culture added to the mix. But it's punchy and simple once again."[71]

Kyle Smith of The Wall Street Journal was more critical, writing, "Mr. Boyle has made more than his share of memorable films, but he has also delivered some stinkers and unfortunately his new one carries the fragrance of a zombie underarm."[72] Adam Graham of The Detroit News gave it a D grade, calling it "an uneven mix of horror movie gnarliness and human melancholia that never finds even ground or a consistent tone, and may make viewers reel from genre whiplash."[73]

Rotten Tomatoes lists the film on its 100 Best Zombie Movies, Ranked by Tomatometer.[74]

In April 2024, Nia DaCosta was reportedly in negotiations to direct a sequel to the film, the second part of a planned trilogy, with Boyle, Garland, Macdonald, Rice, and Bernie Bellew attached as producers.[78] In June 2024, via a copyright filing, the title of the film was seemingly revealed to be 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.[79][80]

On 18 August 2024, during a talk at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Macdonald confirmed DaCosta would be directing the sequel and said that principal photography was set to begin the following day. Macdonald also talked about potential plans for a third 28 Years Later film, saying "we hope there is going to be a third part" and "there is a trilogy".[81]
