With 28 Years Later just around the corner + Cillian Murphy CONFIRMED for sequels, The Scream Queens are BACK to give their 28 Days Later Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!!

Join Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson as they navigate the haunting aftermath of a viral apocalypse in Danny Boyle’s 2002 horror thriller 28 Days Later, written by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Warfare) & Directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire). When bicycle courier Jim (Cillian Murphy, acclaimed for Peaky Blinders and Dunkirk) awakens from a coma in an abandoned London hospital, he discovers the city—indeed, the country—has been overrun by Rage-infected “zombies.” As Jim ventures into desolate streets and encounters the infected, he crosses paths with fellow survivors Selena (Naomie Harris, Oscar-nominated for Moonlight and star of Pirates of the Caribbean), the teenage siblings Hannah (Megan Burns, seen in 28 Weeks Later and Kill Your Friends) and Mark (Noah Huntley, Mission: Impossible), and ex-Soldier Frank (Brendan Gleeson, known for In Bruges and The Guard).

Christopher Eccleston (famed as the Ninth Doctor in Doctor Who and for The Others) also stars as Major Henry West, whose apparent military base & sanctuary holds a darker secret. The climactic sequence—where Jim slashes through the compound’s gate, Selena is forced to fight regenerating infected in the pouring rain, and Major West’s own brutal end—remains one of horror’s most unforgettable finales.

Don’t miss our breakdown of every bone-chilling highlight—from Jim’s initial shock at an eerily silent London, to the church siege and the frantic jeep sequence, to the shocking betrayals and the film’s bleak yet hopeful closing shot on a deserted motorway. Tune in as Roxy & Tara dissect how 28 Days Later redefined modern zombie cinema with its relentless pacing, raw emotional stakes, and unflinching portrayal of societal collapse.
