'28 Years Later' trailer is so intense you'll need a headache tablet
28 Years Later — one of the movies we can't wait to see in 2025 and the second sequel to one of the best British horror movies of all time — has another chilling trailer that will send you hurtling into existential anxiety and a world of blood.
Director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland reunite for this follow-up to 2002's Cillian Murphy-led 28 Days Later and 2007's 28 Weeks Later. It's set 28 years after the events of the first two films and stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes.
The film sees a world still festering with the virus that changed the world. In the trailer we're led into a small fortified island village where life has found a way, protected from infected and non-infected alike. We're not sure why two of the village need to visit the mainland, but it sure looks like a risky mission.

The rest of the trailer is an intense, eye-popping, bone-crunching, jump-scare-filled nightmare — reportedly shot on an iPhone 15 Pro Max — that suggests we're in for something truly messed up. Zombies breaking through stained glass to reach an ecstatic priest? Fast-as-fuck monsters rampaging through a field? Piles of skulls that look human-made? I need a headache tablet after watching that.
How to watch: 28 Years Later opens June 20.
