About 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

Dr. Ian Kelson finds himself drawn into a relationship that unsettles his careful clinical life and raises questions about the limits of science. The bond challenges his ethics, his daily routines, and the power of what people will risk for connection. Parallel to this, Spike crosses paths with the enigmatic Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal, a meeting that quickly slides toward a nightmare he cannot escape. As these two strands intertwine, the film fuses clinical intrigue with claustrophobic dread, pushing characters to confront what humanity effects when curiosity and desire collide with consequences that feel both personal and planetary. The tone stays clinical yet visceral, with sound design and stark imagery turning familiar spaces into pressure chambers.

Directed by Nia DaCosta from a concept by Alex Garland, this genre mash up pairs sharp sci fi ideas with nerve shredding horror. The collaboration signals a bold approach to contemporary fear. It marks DaCosta's continued push toward genre hybrids that interrogate power dynamics. A stark exploration of power, consent, and consequence.

Box office details for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple have not been disclosed publicly. Release plans position the film as a high profile 2026 arrival from a director renowned for boundary pushing works. Even without numbers, industry insiders watch this release closely.
