Continuing the story of its predecessor’s release from only a couple of months ago, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple marks the most fascinating point in the franchise’s history creatively. 2025’s 28 Years Later represented a refreshing shift from the rut of the modern legacy sequel, offering one of the most thematically rich studio films in recent times, with cinematography that
Read MoreWhat happened for the explosive sequel of a middling actioner no one asked for, Sisu, to be this good? Usually, sequels experience diminishing returns, where the director repeats what worked in the first film without offering much beyond an effective formula that audiences enjoyed the first time and will likely enjoy again.
