It’s rare for a sequel to be genuinely surprising, and even rarer for one to wholly upend the expectations set by its genre forefathers and series predecessors.
That 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (January 16, in theaters) does both is a feat almost as astounding as its finale, whose unholy heavy-metal majesty is so jaw-droppingly awesome that it’s bound to elicit outright cheers in the theater.
As a stand-alone post-apocalyptic thriller, it’s multiple cuts above. As the fourth entry in a long-running franchise (written, like its ancestors, by Alex Garland), it is, to borrow a phrase uttered by its protagonist, “miraculous”—and marks this zombie saga as a nightmare with few equals.
