28 Years Later: Bone Temple

Twisted, sickening, and sadistic in all the ways the world would become without the quiet authority that we fail to appreciate. While part one presents us with the physical landscape these characters have to navigate, Bone Temple focuses on the deranged animalistic instinct that surfaces in the weak.

The movie is two sides of the same coin: one is the crumbling fall of humanity and purity; the other, innocence looking for the good in life, or at least what's left of it. The real treat comes when we see these two forces collide – two greats of this art form bouncing off one another to give us a pure spectacle.

It's clear that this movie tries to be its own thing whilst narratively staying in tune, something that it does well. My issues come from Danny Boyle's back-seat role. I have so much appreciation for his work with its raw feeling and edgy camera work. Bone Temple's missing that.

Instead, it relies on more commercial tropes: humour, obstructed violence and a pleasant soundtrack rather than an unsettling score. Whilst it still makes for a fantastic movie, it doesn't have that gritty, raw feeling anymore.
