28 Years Later (2025) Teaser Trailer | Cillian Murphy, Aaron Taylor Johnson

The upcoming sequel, 28 Years Later, has a difficult task ahead of it to surpass the groundbreaking 28 Days Later. Although 28 Years Later will feature Cillian Murphy, who starred in the original, and has the same creative team, 28 Years Later will probably not be able to shock audiences as the original movie did. 28 Days Later redefined the zombie genre though it is not technically a zombie movie. 28 Days Later's zombies are not dead, but infected, and still terrifying today, even for someone as desensitized to zombies as I am. However, the uninfected humans in the film series are more frightening.

The Infected are living humans in 28 Days Later and are controlled by a virus that causes rage. viewers see a loving father becoming an irate monster in less than a minute. Still, once the character became one of the Infected, his death was predictable, as the Infected were dangerous to the living, and the characters were near a military encampment. However, when 28 Days Later introduces the soldiers that killed him, the movie gives viewers a scene that is still one of the most disturbing twists ever seen in a zombie movie, and I don't think 28 Years Later will manage to top it.
