28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland. The movie continues 28 Years Later (2025) and is part of the 28 Days Later franchise.
Decades after the Rage Virus outbreak, society has fractured into brutal factions where morality and survival blur. Dr. Ian Kelson, still dealing with his past builds a new relationship that could reshape what remains of humanity. Meanwhile, Spike’s forced induction into Sir Jimmy Crystal’s unpredictable cult-like gang leads him into horrors that show just how bad the virus’s chaos has affected both people and society.
⭐ Verayea Rating:
4 / 5
“This film provides an excellent balance of horror, gore, wit, and even humor. It ties together so many themes in such a raw way that it’s almost hard to categorize it in the same level as other zombie apocalypse projects.” — Winifred Eze
