Holy Crap...Just Watched 28 YEARS LATER!! Out Of Theater Reaction & Review!

16 minutes

28 Years Later Review – with a Dead Meat & Wuz Good Cameo! The long-awaited third entry in Danny Boyle’s post-apocalyptic zombie trilogy is finally here. Set decades after 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007), 28 Years Later delivers a chilling, action-packed, and emotional return to a Rage-infected world. Directed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting) and written by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation, The Last of Us video game influence), the film brings back the gritty realism and raw energy that helped redefine the zombie genre.

The cast features Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train, Kick-Ass) as the lead survivor, Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Free Guy), Jack O'Connell (Unbroken, Skins), Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter, The Grand Budapest Hotel), and the return of Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer, Peaky Blinders) as Jim.

In this video, we dive into first impressions, standout performances, jaw-dropping scenes, the terrifying evolution of the Rage virus, and how 28 Years Later stacks up against modern survival horror hits like The Last of Us and A Quiet Place. We also reflect on the full trilogy’s progression—from the raw chaos of 28 Days Later, the military dread of 28 Weeks Later, to the emotional weight and larger scale of 28 Years Later.

Is this the best zombie movie since The Last of Us? Did it live up to the massive expectations? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—and which scene left you breathless! Don’t forget to subscribe for more out-of-theater reviews, reactions, and horror breakdowns!
