Things Look Particularly F*cked in the Latest Trailer for 28 Years Later
People love to say we’re experiencing the end of an era, an empire, the world… and maybe in some aspects they’re right. But at least we don’t have rage-infected zombies running at top fuck you speeds to try and murder us for our soft, squishy innards like the folks in the upcoming movie 28 Years Later do. And judging by the post-apocalypse that takes center stage in the upcoming horror flick, I’m glad I’m here and not there.
For those that don’t know, 28 Years Later is the latest entry in the zombie apocalypse movie series directed by Academy Award winner Danny Boyle and written by Academy Award nominee Alex Garland. The first movie, 28 Days Later, came out back in 2003 and focused on the initial outbreak that kicked off the end times. It was supremely tense and did incredibly well. Then came 28 Weeks Later in 2007 and that too was fucked.
Now, we’ve got 28 Years Later and as the title suggests, significant time has passed from the initial outbreak and society is completely different. At least that’s what the official synopsis says:
“It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission 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.”
So shit went sideways and humanity coped with it the only way it knew how — by getting fucked up along with the situation. As you can see in the trailer below, there are religious cults, isolationist societies, and all sorts of other oddities crammed into the movie. And as expected, it’s tense too, which should get people sweating a bit in the theaters when this movie comes out on June 20.
