The story of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is smaller in scope than its predecessor’s. Nia DaCosta uses this to her advantage, crafting an intense film that transports you into its hellish setting.
Duran Duran-loving Dr. Kelson is a role Ralph Fiennes was born to play. Jack O’Connell delivers an even more reprehensible villain than the one he portrayed in Sinners without having the excuse of being a vampire this time.
There are several expertly constructed sequences, including one set to Iron Maiden’s The Number of the Beast that will go down as one of the most memorable in the film series. Other needle drops include Radiohead’s Everything in Its Right Place, and Girls on Film, Ordinary World, and Rio by Duran Duran.
