Review: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)




Review: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple(2026)

By William Pattison.

This time I’m reviewing the sequel to the sequel, 28 years Later.

With visceral fear consuming him and the safety of Lindisfarne nothing but a distant memory, helpless Spike unwillingly joins the ranks of Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal's marauding disciples in the aftermath of 28 Years Later (2025). After all, the kid had no choice; it was either the twisted cult of the Fingers or an inevitable infection by the Rage Virus. Now forced to follow the psychopathic saviour's brutal orders to the letter, Spike must participate in the pack's atrocities, or suffer the consequences of rebellion. However, as the infected hordes of monstrous Alpha leader Samson roam the land, hope may yet emerge from Dr Ian Kelson's desperate and unconventional research. Could radical change start from within the imposing Bone Temple?

This film was a far better sequel than 28 Years Later. This film had a fair more interesting plot.

28 years later was incredibly boring. I recall actually nodding off while watching that film. This film kept my attention and had a lot more interesting characters.also, this film was far bloodier. Amusingly, in this film it was the human on human more than Rage plague victims on humans.

In many ways this film reminds me of the George Romero classic Day of the Dead. The Jimmes remind me a lot of the soldiers in Day of the Dead. As well the Jimmies were the bad guys, like the soldiers. Also, Dr Nelson reminds me of the doctor in Day of the Dead. That Doctor was trying to bring back Bub’s humanity much like Nelson was trying to with Samson.

Ralph Feins is excellent in the role of Doctor Neil Kelson. Also, Chi Lewis does an incredible performance as the Rage Plague victim, Samson, who slowly gets back his humanity thanks to Nelson’s drug experimentation. As well, isJack O’Connell as cult leader Sir Jimmy Crystal.

All in all this film is worlds better than its predesessor. And when it comes down to it this film is AWESOMETACULAR!!!
