28 Years Later: What Happens When Humanity Forgets How to Die?

It’s been nearly three decades since the rage virus tore through the UK, and in Danny Boyle’s long-awaited return to the franchise, death has come creeping back... but not in the way you’d expect. In this spoiler-filled episode of Don’t Press Play, your host, Alex, digs deep into 28 Years Later, unpacking how the film shifts from pure survival horror to something far more personal: the rediscovery of death, grief, and human vulnerability in a post-apocalyptic world. We discuss mutated infections, haunting new rituals, family betrayal, bone temples (yes, really), and why this film isn’t just about who lives, but how we face death.
