Director Nia DaCosta recently bemoaned the box office failure of “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” in an interview with Empire, and I have to agree. Maybe it was poor marketing, or a release date too close to its predecessor, or maybe the divisive (and, imo, awful) ending of “28 Years Later” turned audiences away. But whatever the reason, people just did not turn out for this sequel. Which is a huge shame, because it’s a fantastic follow-up.The movie follows the returning Spike (Alfie Williams) as he’s inducted into Jimmy Crystal’s (Jack O’Connell) gang. Meanwhile, Dr. Ian Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) makes a discovery that could change the fate of the franchise’s post-apocalyptic Britain. O’Connell’s Jimmy is one of the decade's most chilling villains, while Fiennes steals the show in a mesmerizing third-act sequence set to Iron Maiden. It’s dark, bleak and violent, but “The Bone Temple” will rattle around your head long after the credits.Watch "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" on Netflix now‘Iron Lung’
