28 Years Later breathes new life into zombie horror yet again
Briefly

28 Years Later, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, revives the zombie genre by introducing a fresh narrative focused on 12-year-old Spike and his father on a zombie-hunting mission. This film builds on the legacy of 28 Days Later, boldly disregarding its uninspired sequel 28 Weeks Later. The trailers have already mesmerized audiences with haunting imagery and profound themes, showcasing the historical significance of Britain’s battles. The script amplifies personal heroism and coming-of-age elements, ensuring a contemporary take on the classic tropes of survival horror.
There's something even more universal in Spike's story than that of a young soldier marching off to prove his courage. 28 Years Later rejuvenates the zombie genre by intertwining fast-paced action with profound human drama.
Garland's script for the new movie keeps the focus extremely tight, following Spike, a 12-year-old living on an island accompanying his dad Jamie on a ritualistic zombie-hunting mission to the mainland.
