28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

Nia DaCosta · Horror · 1h 49m

Celluloid Score Recommended

A 91% Tomatometer winter horror that Empire and genre critics call the franchise's most ambitious swing — Ralph Fiennes anchors Nia DaCosta's colder, more mythic register even as audiences find it less immediately accessible than the original sprint.

Decades after the rage virus reshaped Britain, a new chapter unfolds in a landscape where faith, violence, and survival have fused into something stranger than the infected themselves. Alex Garland and Nia DaCosta expand the franchise with a winter-set horror fable that trades sprinting zombies for ritual dread, following a fractured family drawn toward a mysterious bone temple on the Scottish coast.

Celluloid Score Recommended

A Certified Fresh 94%/94% critic–audience hit: Curry Barker's monkey's-paw horror romance is praised as crowd-pleasing, darkly funny, and the rare Blumhouse original that Gen Z word-of-mouth turned into a $400M+ global phenomenon on a $750K budget.

Music-store clerk Bear Bailey breaks a novelty "One Wish Willow" charm to make co-worker Nikki Freeman love him more than anyone in the world. The wish comes true — and warps into a supernatural compulsion that turns desire into violence, trapping Bear inside a nightmare he cannot wish away.
