28 Years Later

A sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, the UK zombie outbreak movies from a couple of decades ago. Danny Boyle is back behind the camera, and in this one we follow a community of people living in isolation from the UK mainland on Lindisfarne, a tidal island off the North-East coast. 12 year-old Spike (Alfie Williams) takes to the mainland to hunt zombies with his dad (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as a rite-of-passage ritual.
