Days, Weeks and Years: CineClub discusses the ‘28’ trilogy

Published on: 4th July, 2025

To coincide with the recent release of 28 Years Later, the Team discuss the merits and demerits of the ‘28’ film series.

28 Days Later is accepted by the whole team as a film which ‘loves to have the zombies on screen’ and is characterised by the magnetic performances of its actors and the visual language created by the writer (Alex Garland) and director (Danny Boyle). 28 Weeks Later proves more controversial and an example of what Billy kindly refers to as ‘missed potential’.

With 28 Years Later the series seems back on track with outstanding acting and wonderful world building. The Team loved the characters, drama and locations of this film. Is it a love letter to the North East? Let us know what you think…

Our presenters are Billy, Dion, Matthew and Rhys. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.
