‘28 Years Later’ Review: Danny Boyle Delivers Severed Heads And Broken Hearts In His Gory Zombie-Horror Threequel


Read a review of ‘28 Years Later.’ Director Danny Boyle delivers severed heads and broken hearts in his zombie-horror threequel with big-name cast.

Spike, meanwhile, has never heard of smartphones or the internet — both of which are flourishing in the real world beyond Britain’s borders — and, ever playful, Boyle often drops the ancient sound of a dial-up modem into the ominous score by Young Fathers. It still delivers shocks, even if the sometimes over-zealous editing distracts from Anthony Dod Mantle’s painterly cinematography, but the biggest of them all is the jaw-dropping final scene, a clapback to the film’s beginning and an indication of how crazy Britain has become in its lonely isolation. Title: 28 Years Later Distributor: Sony Director: Danny Boyle Screenwriter: Alex Garland Cast: Alfie Williams, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Edvin Ryding, Ralph Fiennes Running time: 1 hr 55 mins
