28 Years Later – Horror Thriller by Danny Boyle
The long-awaited continuation of a cult classic horror saga arrives with 28 Years Later, releasing on June 20, 2025, in theatres worldwide. Directed by the visionary Danny Boyle and co-directed by Alex Garland, this Horror-Thriller resurrects the harrowing world first introduced in 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007). A haunting blend of post-apocalyptic survival, human resilience, and ethical ambiguity, this new installment pushes the franchise to darker and more emotional depths.
Plot Summary:
Nearly three decades after the outbreak of the Rage virus, what remains of humanity has adapted to a fractured and perilous world. Small pockets of survivors cling to life in fortified regions, none more striking than a secluded island community connected to the British mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway.
Among the island’s inhabitants is Isla (played by Jodie Comer), a fierce protector of her people, and Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a father who decides to venture into the mainland with his son in search of answers—and hope. What they encounter beyond the safety of the island is a nightmarish world of horror, wonder, and long-buried secrets that threaten what little peace remains.
As they navigate this decaying world, haunted by both infected monsters and the consequences of humanity’s past, they cross paths with Dr. Ian Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), whose experiments may hold the key to ending or reigniting the virus once and for all.
