When there’s no more room in Development Hell, the (pretty much) dead will walk the Earth! 28 Years Later has finally hit theatres, re-animating the franchise that changed zombie movies forever. Join us as we tip toe through the tombstones and review the first installment of this new rage virus trilogy.
The end is very f*ckin nigh! and 28 Days Later creators Danny Boyle & Alex Garland have returned for a shot-on-iPhone zombie story that gets a little heavy handed with its emotional core but delivers maximum carnage in multiple angles thanks to some fun Matrix-esque bullet time zombie action! Join usssssss

Note: Drive Home from the Drive-in reviews are FULL SPOILERS (with a quick 5-or-so minute spoiler free review at the top of the show). Want to know whether to watch or pass without the spoil?
Verdict: 28 Days Later really changed the game forever, and that movie was always going to be hard to top. 28 Years Later isn’t exactly the movie we thought we were buying a ticket for but is a good introduction to what is sure to be a pretty rad sequel (coming January 2026). If you’re a big fan of these movies we absolutely suggest checking it out while it’s in the theatre, just know that you are in for more of a coming-of-age drama than a Rumble-In-The-Quarantine-Zone flick 💀
