28 Years Later: The Bone Temple 4K 2026 Ultra HD 2160p

“The Bone Temple” picks up where “28 Years Later” left off. Spike (Alfie Williams) joins the group led by self-proclaimed prophet Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell) and his seven followers, known as “the Fingers.” To survive and stay with them, Spike is forced to kill one of the “Fingers” in a desperate fight, after which he receives a white wig and the name Jimmy. Being inside the cult is even more dangerous than being alone in a trap among the infected. Jimmy Crystal is convinced he is the son of Old Nick (Satan), so for the survivors on the continent, his group is more terrifying than the virus itself. Breaking into homes, the “Fingers” stage a bloody meat grinder—in their language, this is called “charity.” Spike can’t avoid getting involved, and trying to escape is a sure death.

One day, one of the “Fingers” spots Old Nick in the distance—a red-skinned man dancing with Samson (an alpha-infected) amidst a colosseum of bones. They don’t yet know that Old Nick is none other than Dr. Ian Calson (Ralph Fiennes), who is on the verge of cracking the code for a vaccine against the rage virus.

User Review

We just watched the premiere of “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.” It's the first film of 2026, and it's already shaping up to be the film of the year. The movie year is off to a great start.

I’ve had a deep affection for Danny Boyle for a long time now. He’s one of the few directors I’d give a 10/10 to in 90 percent of cases. Boyle, first and foremost, is a true artist. What do we remember most about 28 Days Later? Its theatrical intimacy, its trippy atmosphere, and the concept of the “beast-man,” who is often worse than the infected. In this new installment of the trilogy, there’s less theatricality, but more trippy elements and reflections on humanity. In 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Danny Boyle handed the reins to Nia DaCosta—about whom we’ve heard little beyond Candyman (beautiful but shallow)—while taking on the role of producer himself.

The genre of the trilogy’s second installment is something at the intersection of post-apocalypse, horror, and dark fantasy. It’s also a hoax, a fairy tale, science fiction, a rock concert, a drama, a philosophical parable about loss, the screenwriter’s bad trip, and much more. And the horror here lies not in the zombies at all, but in the futility of human nature. The film urges you to peer into a forest shrouded in eerie silence, in an attempt to find the very meaning of the search. This is a real treat for film buffs, where you can enjoy the actors’ performances, the meta-imagery of the characters, and the director’s style. And the fantastically integrated, creaking music, which at times envelops your body so completely that it feels as if someone has literally penetrated your brain.

Both parts—28 Years Later and The Bone Temple—were filmed simultaneously in a single production cycle, which clearly helped preserve the logical and visual unity of the world, so there is no sense of a disconnect between the parts. Boyle sent a pulse through his cinematic universe, and Nia DaCosta successfully took the reins.

The delightful Ralph Fiennes, whose performance makes you hold your breath for a moment. It’s that beautiful. And how can you go to rock concerts after this if they don’t have the same thing? The convincingly lost Alfie Williams, who definitely has a brilliant acting future ahead of him (this is only his third feature film), and the charismatic Jack O’Connor (the only reason to watch trash like *Sinners*). And… I won’t spoil it.
