As it stands, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple has a certified fresh 94% Rotten Tomatoes critic score, with audience scores not coming in until its release this weekend. That is better than the 89% of the first 28 Years Later film, and also better than the 83% of 28 Days Later and 73% of 28 Weeks Later.

The post-apocalyptic horror universe of 28 Years Later continues its gruesome journey with its latest installment, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Released in January 2026, this sequel picks up right

I would be surprised if anything else at the cinema in 2026 can match the bizarre spectacle of The Bone Temple’s best sequence.

Directed by Nia DaCosta, who more than earned her horror spurs with the 2021 remake of Candyman, 28 Days Later: The Bone Temple certainly is the nastiest and possibly the best of the series, a return-to-roots affair that plays like a reverse angle on 28 Years Later.

Nia DaCosta nimbly takes the reins of the zombie franchise, pitting a devil-worshipping Jack O'Connell against Fiennes' faith-stripped man of science.

The Bone Temple" will test the box office staying power of the zombie franchise as it tracks lower than "28 Years Later."

Picking up where Danny Boyle left off, director Nia DaCosta delivers a perfect sequel that solidifies screenwriter Alex Garland's zombie trilogy
