Oh Spike! Still only 12 years old, he’s looked after himself for 28 days even by the end of the last film – but now he’s part of a gang and it’s not pretty. Check out my plot recap including that ending. (Or you can read my 4.5 star review here) There are two main… 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple – that ending plus a plot recap Read More
The Bone Temple: faith, family, Duran Duran and fake tan
There’s so much about what’s gone wrong with Britain in the 28 Years Later films it’s like being mugged by a zombie Guardianista. I half expected a new breed of infected that just wags a finger and shakes its head at the survivors while looking saddened. Still, at least it’s done entertainingly and not via… The Bone Temple: faith, family, Duran Duran and fake tan Read More

Young Spike is now part of a vicious crew of killers, while Dr Ian Kelson believes he might be able to cure the Rage virus.

28 Years Later 5 stars
28 years after the Rage virus decimated Britain, a young boy ventures onto the mainland to save his sick mother Unsurprisingly in Britain, a zombie apocalypse doesn’t even put a dent in our class system. Rather, the Infected seem to have embraced it: a few alpha leaders, tall, lean and strong, surrounded by upright minions,… 28 Years Later Read More
Pandemic 3.5 stars
God why are zombies always so MESSY? Streets strewn with debris, rubbish everywhere, sofas and chairs lying in the road, any old how. Tidy people just don’t seem to succumb to these near-constant apocalyptic worldwide infections, do they. They should use this information when creating a vaccine. Or maybe the tidy people are simply stuck… Pandemic Read More
