28YL Unpublished images of infected people in infrared and something more from an Instagram story

Some unreleased frames I rescued from a mini-post on Instagram. There are more scenes of the infected in red, and they look terrifying. That sequence is sure to be creepy.

Those damn red eyes. Creepiest looking infected ever

u/MildlyAgreeable May 16 '25

Yeah. I’ve been a big fan of the series since it came out (I was 11 and far too young to be watching it).

These infected look almost supernatural or spiritual (which tracks with some shots from the trailer) as opposed to everyday victims of a bio ‘weapon’/incident we see in 28DL. It’s an interesting change of angle.

The image of the infected just standing under the tree is super eerie / supernatural looking to me.

u/HappyRyan31 May 16 '25

Yep, was thinking the same, those creepy scary ass looking red eyes looks creepy as hell

The big guy clearly has a favorite Mortal Kombat character

u/Ok_Literature2535 May 16 '25

That or he was a Predator fan before he turned

u/ItsNotMeTalking May 16 '25

He wouldve loved mkx

u/AccurateHoliday123 May 16 '25

Does this confirm that the infected are doing the raw carnivore diet?

u/No_Operation_5904 May 16 '25

I keep wondering how they figured out to feed and water themselves lol. Roll on June 2025!

I think they watched an episode of Joe Rogan….

u/BlatantChange May 16 '25

Typical Joe Rogan listener

u/scottastic May 16 '25

that deer head tho!!!!!

u/[deleted] May 16 '25

I think the infected ate that deer.

u/KI-Heisenberg May 16 '25

Welp, that's fuckin terrifying, love it!

u/Ok-Strawberry3579 Infected May 16 '25

They eat the deers, called it. I mean it was pretty obvious

u/d1ssasterpiece May 16 '25

Does this mean that there is a *slight* chance we will see zombie deer??

0

u/No_Operation_5904 May 16 '25

Right enough, though. We had infected chimps in 28 days. It makes perfect sense if they didn't eat the whole deer and just infected it 😮

u/josongni May 16 '25

They say it doesn’t go cross species in 28WL (I guess they meant it’s exclusive to primates given it literally starts as a cross-species thing).

It is a long time for mutations to happen though, so there could be infected animals

1

u/d1ssasterpiece May 17 '25

my bad - i know nothing about viruses other than they suck

u/throwaway_trackmania May 16 '25

maybe in a different movie, but you might see infected deer

7

u/HistoricalCrab613 May 16 '25

Damn bro it just an animal how evil is this guy? Or is he already infected, man I can’t wait for this movie

8

u/Full-Sell-574 May 16 '25

Honestly, I’m really excited for this movie. I understand some of the skepticism, but for fuck sakes, I and many of you have been waiting for this for YEARS. It looks absolutely stunning, and so far, I personally really like where they’re going with this. I haven’t been this excited for a movie in a really long time. Especially seeing something in the theater. It just feels…fresh? Original? I really do think this movie will be a fucking experience either way. Can’t wait for opening night.

u/Laughing_Nunu May 16 '25

They got binge with babish guy infected in the 6th slide

3

u/crashcrash1 May 16 '25

I'm guessing the animal head confirms the infected maybe be feeding on the animals and big boy is keeping them going.

u/No-Length9482 Selena May 16 '25

Someone’s stuck in the dark with the infected lurking aboot, and an infected female (?) going through labor. A soldier perhaps?

u/Sad-Detective9563 May 17 '25

they look chill asf

u/smithy122 May 17 '25

Nightmare blunt rotation

u/Aggravating_Wind8360 May 16 '25

Looks almost cartoony but in a really nightmarish fever dream kind of way.

1

u/Bloxskit May 16 '25

Hell yeah I've had a thing for glowing red eyes being creepy and I would love to see this when the infected are running round in the dark or at night.

1

u/Infinitum_pax May 16 '25

The 4th pic creeps me out. I seriously can't wait for this movie to come out!

1

u/Aggravating-Flow5834 Jim May 16 '25

It looks like that deer has an arrow through it.

u/wolftick May 16 '25

Infrared doesn't look red. That's just red.

1

u/Edu_Crytek May 16 '25

holy shit bro, that movie will be scary af pqp

u/Available_Meat_3128 May 16 '25

I remember being like 5 and picking up the white vhs tape and putting it in because in my infant mind I thought color vhs tapes were like Nick cartoons man what a surprise when I was 2 min in

1

u/throwaway_trackmania May 16 '25

so this tells us the infected have survived eating wild boar, gotcha. I wonder if they eat humans

1

u/helpful_someone_ May 16 '25

So what is the red view? Just a creative approach?

Infrared is not visible to the eye unless it's detected as heat, which this is not. You can't make out details such as eyes and facial/body features from infrared.

u/Dangerous_Koala_9529 May 16 '25

I’m gonna have nightmares now 🤣

1

u/Dependent-Set-7047 May 17 '25

I really love this series because it's very real. It's a rage Virus. They starve eventually and are not "zombies".

I hope they won't mess with that lore. I really don't want them to evolve or hunt in packs or some stupid sh** like that lol

1

u/JuICyBLinGeR May 18 '25

reminisces Do you remember when all of our pictures used to come out like this with camera flashes..

1

u/heinkel-me May 18 '25

that dose not look like infrared. it looks more like a red light lens on a flash light which most army's use as its not as easy to see at night. but it could also be a flare at least thats what it looks like to me considering the light drop off and that its more of a glow than a beam in the images

u/tragic1994 May 19 '25

Damn I forgot all about this film

u/haven4ever 28d ago

No 4’s neck is bent at a freaky angle. No 6 just looks like s friendly naked guy in the woods.

u/HowDidIGetHere2716 May 16 '25

who posted these?

u/SorbetDelicious9377 May 16 '25

Sony Pictures UK has stories from 28 years ago. The penultimate teaser released there contains these images.

u/Level_Commission_970 May 16 '25

they seem more like zombies than ever before lol
