Bone Temple Reawakens the 28 Years Later saga with Fiennes’s magnetic menace

Ralph Fiennes anchors 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple with a calm, hypnotic Dr. Kelson in a melancholic, violence-heavy revival that braids grief and social fracture. Nia DaCosta directs a slower, more intimate thriller from Alex Garland’s script, while Jack O’Connell leads a terrifying cult‑led arc and Alfie Williams’s Spike is sidelined. The film aims for big-picture ideas about trauma and culture, delivering a memorable performance from Fiennes even as it struggles to sustain urgency, and it closes with a cheeky finale that tees up a planned trilogy’s final chapter.

Bone Temple Surges to the Franchise's Best Chapter Yet

Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell anchor 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, a kinetic fourth chapter that, surprisingly, makes the undead almost secondary to tense human clashes under Nia DaCosta’s direction; the film introduces a Clockwork-Orangey non-infected gang led by Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal and features Dr Ian Kelson contending with a rampaging alpha zombie named Samson, while Spike on Holy Island witnesses the brutal world these characters inhabit. A standout moment is Fiennes dancing to Iron Maiden’s The Number of the Beast, and the movie opens January 15 in Australia and January 16 in the UK and US.
