The highly anticipated horror sequel, '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple', has left its first audience members in awe, with some claiming it to be one of the best horror movies of the decade. But is it really that good? The early buzz suggests so!
The film, directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland, is a direct sequel to the 2025 hit '28 Years Later'. Early viewers took to social media to express their excitement, with reactions pouring in from a recent London screening.
One enthusiastic fan, @dinotaur, tweeted, 'Just witnessed the madness of #28YearsLater: #TheBoneTemple. Brace yourself for an intense ride and prepare to be blown away!' This sentiment was echoed by many, with particular praise for DaCosta's direction and Garland's writing.
But here's where it gets controversial: some viewers are already calling for Oscar recognition for Ralph Fiennes, who reprises his role from the previous film. User @khaleesi_101 passionately stated, 'Award shows need to recognize more than one genre film! Fiennes deserves an Oscar nod for his performances in both #28YearsLater and #TheBoneTemple.'
This isn't the first time Fiennes has been praised for his work in the franchise. His performance in Boyle's '28 Years Laters' received critical acclaim, and now with an expanded role in the sequel, he's leaving audiences in awe once again.
The film also marks a significant step for DaCosta, whose previous film 'Hedda' received a Golden Globe nomination. With 'The Bone Temple', she's taking the franchise in a bold new direction, and fans are loving it.
'The Bone Temple' is intended as the second part of a trilogy, with the final chapter reuniting Danny Boyle and Cillian Murphy. But for now, audiences are thrilled with this installment, calling it a must-watch for horror enthusiasts.
