28 Years Later fans are left shocked over 'weird' Jimmy Savile reference and 'insane' cliffhanger ending


WARNING: SPOILERS. 28 Years Later has finally hit screens after years of anticipation and longtime fans of the horror franchise rushed to cinemas to watch the new film.

The 'bizarre' ending introduced Jack O Connell's character, cult leader Sir Jimmy Crystal, who appears to have been directly inspired by Jim'll Fix It presenter Savile. Not referencing Savile, other fans took to social media to general share their baffled thoughts after the movie jarringly transitioned from an emotional death scene to Sir Jimmy and his clan - before abruptly ending. The first movie of the series, 28 Days Later, followed Jim (Cillian Murphy), who awakes from a coma to discover Britain has been plagued by a terrible pandemic known as the Rage Virus, which turns those affected into murderous zombies.
