28 Years Later
Time didn't heal anything.
Directed by Danny Boyle
Produced by Columbia Pictures, DNA Films
A post-apocalyptic survival horror that balances visceral threat with philosophical inquiry into how humanity mutates under extreme conditions, grounded in a specific English landscape.
Twenty-eight years after the Rage virus outbreak, a heavily-defended island survives connected to the mainland by a single causeway. When one of the group leaves the island into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.
