28 Years Later: The Bone Temple | Jan 16, 2026
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is an English horror–thriller set to release in theatres on 16 January 2026.
With a runtime of 1 hour 49 minutes and an A certificate, the film continues the chilling legacy of the Rage Virus universe. Presented in 2D, this new chapter expands the post-apocalyptic world with intense action, disturbing horror, and powerful drama.
Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland, the film is produced by Andrew Macdonald, Peter Rice, Bernie Bellew, Danny Boyle, and Alex Garland. The movie is backed by Columbia Pictures, Decibel Films, and DNA Films, with distribution handled by Sony Pictures Releasing.
A Brutal World After the Rage Virus
Set years after the previous film, Britain remains a broken land ruled by violence, fear, and infected survivors. In this ruined world, a young fighter named Spike gets inducted into the deadly gang of Sir Jimmy Crystal, a ruthless leader who commands a group of acrobatic killers. They survive through brutality and precision, turning murder into a twisted form of art.
At the same time, Dr. Ian Kelson, a scientist haunted by the past, begins a new relationship that could change the future of humanity. His work may hold the key to either saving what remains of the world or destroying it forever. As both storylines collide, the film builds toward a terrifying confrontation filled with danger, betrayal, and shocking revelations.
A Vision of Fear and Survival
Director Nia DaCosta brings a fresh and intense style to the franchise. Her vision focuses on human survival, emotional trauma, and the horror of living in a world where trust has almost vanished. The screenplay by Alex Garland keeps the story sharp, brutal, and emotionally gripping.
The film blends psychological tension with explosive action. Every scene pushes the story forward while keeping viewers on edge.
