28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE (2026)
"Let he, who hath understanding, reckon the number of the beast; For it is a human number...." - Sir Bruce Dickinson. So, I got put in the Iron Maiden (Excellent!) easily first great film of the year! 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple asks some giant questions: What does it mean to be swallowed into a cult? What does it mean to have compassion for someone who seems to be totally beyond the pale of help? These might daunt or not even occur to other writers or filmmakers in the, yeah, we can call them "zombies" even as they are adjacent and we discover in this entry they have a true psychosis; but Alex Garland has had a lot of time to think about the world he created so long ago (which if part 3 is out by 2030 then the title will be most accurate) and in this, also directed with a giant embrace of the gnarly and unnerving turns Garland's script takes by Nia DaCosta, he actually does explore the power of evil and how there should be, or will be, some kind of force...
