I know I will be accused of hyperbole but having seen 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple two times now I really mean it when I say that director Nia Dacosta has delivered with this, the fourth movie in the franchise, the best of the bunch. Yes I do indeed make that claim in my review which just dropped over at Pajiba, read it in full here. And I stand by it. Because, first off, as transformative as Danny Boyle's original film was and remains to the horror genre -- and I don't dispute that! -- I think we've all just accepted that it sorta somewhat falls apart in its last act. And then as for Boyle's film last year, well I wasn't a fan. (Read my review of that one here.) But this new one? Spectacular. Strange. Funny. Terrifying. Gorgeous to look at. Emotionally stirring. Kinda gay. It's got a Radiohead song in it for fuck's sake! I wrote a fuck-ton of words on the movie in my review (it's one of my longer ones) and I didn't even mention it has a Radiohead song in it! So yeah. I said what I said. And I meant it.

Sorry, I'm the opposite. I think it's the worst one especially the ending.
I heavily despise the politics on display in this page and sometimes even your takes on movies, i basically come over here to wank to the hotness while trying not to read any of the gobbledygook but this time i have to give it to you, best movie of the series & best movie of the year, and it is only January!
