In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we embark on the quarantined islands and plunge back into the post-apocalyptic world with 28 Years Later (2025), the highly anticipated sequel from Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. Set 28 years after the Rage virus outbreak, this film reinvents the franchise with a tight narrative, sharp themes, and a hauntingly immersive atmosphere.

We unpack the evolution of the infected. We explore Jodie Comer’s emotionally charged performance as Isla and how mother–son dynamics ground the story’s emotional core. We also dig into the film’s political undertones including, Brexit symbolism, Covid pandemic responses, gender roles, and the horror of war.

With innovative iPhone-enhanced cinematography and a narrative that blends brutal action with thoughtful allegory, 28 Years Later sets the table for a new trilogy, kicking off with this sequel and promising next entries like The Bone Temple (2026).

Is this revival a bold reinvention or a fragmented homage? Tune in as we assess its impact on the genre, its emotional resonance, and whether it out grows the legacy of the original.
