Happy July! Summers hot and our Patreon members are HOTTER


This month we are reviewing films requested by our lovely Patreon members.


The Slashers crew—Mikey, Ade, and Lance—delve into Danny Boyle’s high-stakes sequel, 28 Years Later (by request of GUNN).


Picking up decades after the original outbreak, the film brings fresh emotional depth through Spike, a 12-year-old survivor from a quarantined island. The hosts explore how this new perspective enriches the Rage-verse, praise the evolution of the infected (especially the chilling “Alpha” variants), and laud standout performances from Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and newcomer Alfie Williams.

They break down Boyle and Garland’s signature cinematography and eerie score by Young Fathers, noting immersive soundscapes and gritty visual aesthetics. While they celebrate the film’s emotional core and inventive creature design, they also critique tonal shifts—especially in the climactic stretches, which swing between brutal horror and surreal camp.


So Tune in now and let us know how you felt about 28 years later!
