Those Who Don't Learn From History Are Doomed to Repeat It.

Review written by Jack Aling


28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland.


Dr. Kelson makes a world-altering discovery about the infected while young Spike falls into the clutches of the sinister cult leader Sir Jimmy. The second installment of the trilogy.



Without the distracting trickery of filming on iPhones or the distinctive visual flair of Danny Boyle's direction, The Bone Temple

, delves deeper into the 28 Years Later series, taking things to devilish extremes.


There is so much subtext to explore and unpick with Ralph Fiennes giving a horror performance for the ages at its centre. Nia DaCosta

provides the series with a needed cinematic edge which manages to find beauty and humanity amongst the gore and tragedy.



Our verdict: 4 out of 5 stars.


28 Years Later: The Bone Temple arrives in UK cinemas 14 January 2026.
