Expanding upon the world created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland in 28 Years Later -- but turning that world on its head -- Nia DaCosta directs 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. In a continuation of the epic story, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) makes a discovery that could change the world as they know it -- and Spike's (Alfie Williams) encounter with Jimmy Crystal (Jack O'Connell) becomes a nightmare he can't escape. In the world of The Bone Temple, the infected are no longer the only threat to survival -- the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A direct continuation of 28 Years Later that ups the gore while deepening the dread, The Bone Temple is finely adorned by Nia DaCosta's unnerving direction as well as Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell's inspired performances.

Audience Says

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is as hard to look at as it’s hard to look away from -- a mad, visceral mood piece with a surprisingly substantial amount of humanity.

I cannot quite square how much fun this movie is while being so disturbing. The depravity of Sir Jimmy and his cult will linger, but boy, is this just an absolute blast. Go to Full Review Aled Maclean-Jones New Statesman Feb 19
One of the film’s final lines echoes Churchill: “those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.” Yet the films offer a delivery from the nihilism they might seem to suggest. Go to Full Review Maxwell Rabb Chicago Reader Jan 26
What makes The Bone Temple the best iteration of the “rage virus” series is how willingly it leans into absurdity. Go to Full Review Andrew Kendall Stabroek News 2d
Too much of "The Bone Temple" is more compelling for what it might set up for the next instalment, than for what it does on its own. Go to Full Review John Odette Pop Culture Leftovers May 27
The rarity of an exceptional fourth entry into a long-standing film franchise is not easy, and certainly not an accomplishment that comes around often. Director Nia DaCosta has completed this tricky task with a confident hand. Go to Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene May 6

Like the first film, this one was scripted by Alex Garland. But “Bone Temple” reeks of desperation. It’s as if Garland was heaving ideas against a big bloody wall hoping some would stick. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Adam 1d The mark of the beast ! See more Ari 3d I love this movie so under appreciated See more Evan Jun 15 A good continuation of the 28 years story. I wasn’t to interested by the ending of the first one but they made it very entertaining and creepy. See more Zoe Jun 14 It wasn’t what I expected. Nothing like the other sequels. I left the theater a little disappointed. See more Gregory May 25 I was very surprised by this movie and thought it was much better than the first movie. The acting was really brought in this film. See more Angelique G May 16 not nearly as good as the first one but fun! See more Read all reviews
