28 Years Later: The Bone Temple review – Ralph Fiennes is phenomenal in best chapter yet of zombie horror
A murderous Clockwork-Orangey gang take on the zombies in this gruesome and energised fourquel. It’s the finest of the 28 franchise by a blood-curdling mile
It’s very rare for a fourquel to be the best film in a franchise, but that’s how things stand with the chequered 28 Days Later series. In this one, which follows immediately on from the previous episode, 28 Years Later, Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell bring pure death-metal craziness. There is real energy and drama in this latest iteration of the post-apocalyptic zombie horror-thriller saga, created by director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland back in 2003, with Nia DaCosta taking over directing duties for this film. Fiennes’s dance to Iron Maiden’s The Number of the Beast is basically one of the most extraordinary moments of his career. At the screening I attended, we were on our feet, looking for a speaker bin to headbang into. The band surely has to rerelease this track with Fiennes’s performance as a new official video. His Voldemort was never so freaky.
‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ To Scare Off Na’vi From No. 1 With $20M+ MLK Opening – Box Office Preview
UPDATED, 11 AM: So Sony’s 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is still looking at a $20M+ 4-day opening at 3,400 sites in North America, finally unseating 20th Century Studios’ Avatar: Fire and Ash from No. 1 in its 5th frame. That movie is looking like $18M-$19M over the MLK holiday weekend.
Previews for Bone Temple start at 2 p.m. Thursday in 2,900 sites. Avatar 3 still has the Imax theaters and majority of PLFs, while the Infected (don’t call them zombies) have some PLF screens.
The best heat in first choice for Bone Temple is from guys over 25. The movie’s temperature on tracking in first choice is about as hot as New Line’s Evil Dead Rise ($24.5M in 2023) and Focus Features’ Nosferatu ($21.6M 3-day in 2024) and way hotter than Paramount’s Primate ($11.1M opening last week). 28 Years Later benefited from previews on Juneteenth, which propelled the Danny Boyle horror threequel to a $30M opening last summer — one of the best for horror in 2025 — and a domestic of $70.4M, global of $151.3M. Production cost of Bone Temple was $63M net, while 28 Years Later was $60M net before global P&A spend.

The Alpha Zombie Returns: Chi Lewis-Parry on Adding Depth to Samson in ‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ and Why Dancing With Ralph Fiennes Was ‘The Most Fun I’ve Had Naked’
There’s a scene in “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” Nia DaCosta’s quick-fire sequel to last year’s horror franchise returnee “28 Years Later,” that’ll likely raise more than a few laughs in cinemas.
On top of an English hill, surrounded by woods — and potential danger — Ralph Fiennes‘ blood-and-iodine-smeared skull collector Dr. Ian Kelson sings Duran Duran’s sun-drenched ’80s smash “Rio” while dancing hand-in-hand with Samson, the film’s hulking, mutated and entirely nude lead Alpha zombie.
It’s a peculiar, not to mention hilarious sight, not least for a gory genre film. But for anyone who saw Sony Pictures’ “28 Years Later,” the scene marks a remarkable development for Samson — played by 6’8″ actor and former MMA fighter Chi Lewis-Parry — best remembered as “King of the Infected” in the first outing and a ferocious monster with a penchant for ripping heads off with spines still attached (and then swinging them about like a flail). DaCosta’s movie — in cinemas Jan. 16 — is a wholly different beast to Danny Boyle’s, with wildly new characters and storylines, but it’s the personal growth of Samson — and his budding bromance with Dr. Kelson — that offers one of its main talking points.
