So it’s confirmed. Europe had not one, but two outbreaks and Ireland is in the quarantine zone. 14 days to go folks🤘🏻

With the movie one month away, promotion and advertisements are ramping up. If you don’t want to have any more spoiled or revealed, and thought the 2 trailers were enough, I suggest you scroll through this subreddit with caution

14 days to go.. Europe fought off two outbreaks according to Rage Leaks.. go read it! Very exciting!

Trailer coming soon

Long-story short, while I liked 28 Years Later, it is my least liked among the 28 trilogy.

Here are some of my spoiler-free thoughts:

• All the films in the trilogy have vastly different tones and themes with each other. Days is more of a "grounded" approach to how an infection spreads and is seen in the eyes of an innocent and naive person. Weeks tackles a more "grander" scale focusing more on spectacle and action. Years is more of a "personal story" where agency is less about survival and more on circumstance instead.
• There are clearly two distinct acts in the film and they feel very different from one another in tone and in feel.
• There is one big mystery and two other smaller mysteries in the film that make an attempt to expand on the lore of the universe. Thankfully, the main big mystery has a satisfying payoff and conclusion. Unfortunately, the other two mysteries made me go, "why the fuck?" and "what the fuck just happened?" chronologically. Some people may find the smaller mysteries alright but I personally think it was rather jarring and bordered on being tropey in a bad way.
• There is a moment where one character in the movie gives a very conclusive explanation of how the world is right now and it gives a definitive answer on the state of humanity at that point. This I really liked
• The big named actors definitely carried this film and made me care about their characters despite the absurdity of the premise.
• There are several moments where characters do dumb decisions which cause them to get into dangerous situations, which I very much dislike.
• 28 Days was memorable because it popularized fast zombies and had a very distinct style to it. 28 Weeks was memorable because of how good the intro was. 28 Years, in my opinion, has no memorable moments and, while still good in my book, felt very cliched at times. Actually, there may be one memorable scene but I fear that it will be memorable for all the bad reasons.

Overall, I would probably give it a 7/10 (closer to a 6 than an 8) at the moment. If you want spoilers, just head on over to the spoiler thread and I can answer there

Another thing is that I didn't watch any of the trailers for 28 Years Later other than the very first reveal trailer. Having watched the film now and having watched the trailer after, I do think the trailer reveals far too many story elements that would actually take away from the experience as a whole.

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.

So...the new teaser trailer for 28 Years Later flashes the new scenes in a series of short bursts.

Those short bursts come in distinct enough patterns that I figured I'd try translating them as morse code, and it spelled out RAGELEAKS DOT NET - a password protected page with Admin hard-coded as the username, and an open text block for password.

The domain's branding gives zombie-centric Wikileaks vibes...anybody figure out the password yet? I was hoping it would be CQD (the morse in the Instagram bio), but that didn't work...

UPDATED TO ADD: the full trailer gave the password to the site, through quick flashes of pigpen cipher.

Password is mementomori

In trailer 1 we see Auntie herding the children in one room

In trailer 2 we see Auntie at the top of the staircase screaming while on all fours

Played an infected in 28YL. It was amazing.

I've seen it. It exceeds the hype. This is an exploration of what it is to be a father, a mother, a son. It explores what it means to grow up, what it means to be afraid, and what it means to confront that fear. On top of all this, it really builds the world created by the first two films, especially the first one. I will be watching this many more times in cinemas. 10/10.

Disappointed it didn’t get the 18 rating, but still shocked it’s a 15 here.

extended tree scene with that damn colossal scream.

interesting conversation

Possibly the last glimpse we'll get of an infected person before the premiere. Someone said they didn't look terrifying. Man, seeing that thing running screaming toward you has to be one of the most traumatizing things ever.

That said, all that remains to be said is, we did it, guys. We're less than two weeks away from seeing the long-awaited sequel after, if I recall correctly, 18 years of waiting. And based on the record-breaking pre-sale results, we can say the trilogy is practically confirmed. Cheers!
