28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Plot

The fourth installment in the 28 Days Later film series, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, picks up from where it left off. Spike joins Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal’s cult, but is an obvious sore thumb among the bunch of lost and desperate people. He is unable to fit in with the gang, but does his best to survive as all his other options die down. Dr. Ian Kelson has found himself a rhythm and an unlikely friend in an infected named Samson, continuing his relationship with whom would change his understanding of the Rage Virus-infected world.

What works for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

The sheer insanity of the 28 Years Later universe is something a viewer can never comprehend right from the start. As you watch the film, it goes crazier than you can imagine, and the ability to do that every time you watch a film has been the biggest positive. The possibilities are endless for the post-apocalyptic horror film, and it takes that to its advantage. With Spike’s induction into the Jimmy gang, the fear of the unknown awaits him. Alfie Williams is able to bring the raw emotion of a child in a cutthroat world with grit in every step. But the real winner is Ralph Fiennes, a survival pro medic who is standing tall, despite the world’s every effort to take him down.

The music, although almost jarring at first, will make its way into your heart and mind with each passing scene. The poster depicted the craze on Dr. Ian becomes its crescendo, a culmination of loneliness, fear, and the absurdity of the Jimmy cult. 

What does not work for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

The first half of the film is mostly rage-induced gore to the core, which may come off as a surprise to anyone unfamiliar with the movie’s game. As the pitch rises, so does the viewer’s anxiety about the next jumpscare, which may be a welcome event for a few but ends up coming off as a forced climax for some.

Acting performances in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

Ralph Fiennes is the unrivaled King once again with his red-bodied plans and determination to survive, which ends up going for a toss once he meets Spike. Alfie Williams is a close second. Bringing his best at all times. Jack O'Connell maintains his psychopathic behavior and manages to keep it going right to the very last second, making for another commendable performance.

Final verdict of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s the best part about it.
