Spotlight: 28 Years Later
If the JustWatch numbers prove anything, it’s that horror never dies. 28 Years Later has sprinted to the top of the movie charts, and with it, the long dormant zombie craze seems to have new legs.
The Danny Boyle launched franchise practically redefined the undead with 2002’s 28 Days Later, adding speed, rage, and a bleak realism that tore apart the slow shuffling zombie mould. Its sequel, 28 Weeks Later, doubled down on carnage and hopelessness, cementing the series as a landmark of modern horror. Now, decades later, 28 Years Later picks up that thread, dropping audiences back into a world where survival is fleeting and society is one infection away from collapse.
For fans, it’s more than just another horror flick, it’s a return to the raw terror that changed how zombies were seen on screen, influencing everything from The Walking Dead to a generation of indie horror. The film’s arrival on Netflix hasn’t just made it the most streamed title of the week, it’s reawakened a cultural hunger for apocalyptic storytelling that feels all too close to home in 2025.
With the original’s DNA still pulsing through, 28 Years Later is proof that horror franchises can evolve without losing their bite, whether you’re a long time fan or a newcomer, the rage virus is spreading again and it’s not slowing down any time soon.
