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.
