28 Years Later
Movie • 2025 • Horror
ReportTwenty-eight years since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one member departs on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

Around 45 min in (approximately I didn’t look at my watch) there is a scene where a deers head gets ripped off. It’s pretty awful but only lasts about 2-3 seconds. When the father and son are walking through the woods and see the deer head stuck up in a tree would be your cue to know it’s coming.

The deer scene is maybe 30 minutes or so in, right after the montage of life in the peninsula community with children singing Abide With Me. The montage ends with Isla looking out a window, and the next scene is Jamie and Spike walking through a forest. They come across an eviscerated deer carcass - very graphic - and then find the head in the tree, before a flashback showing how it was killed. The scene is maybe two minutes long, and it cuts back to the deer’s body and the head a few times.
A fish is also killed near the end. A character shoots an arrow into water; we don’t see the fish die, but in the next shot the character is cooking the fish on a stick over a fire

Incident not shown on screen, but implied.
A group of soldiers are running from infected and leap down a trench. One man's scream is almost drowned out by the infected growls.
Another squad member supports him while they try to escape - the injured soldier is shown limping, but there is no odd bend or dislocation.

Yes the jumpscares that I remember are:

2: Hard cut to a character knocking things over
3: When characters enter a abandoned building a animal suddenly screeches
4: a crow screech is heard
5: a crow suddenly flies out
6: a presumably dead body hanging upside down suddenly wakes up screaming
7: a sudden cut to a zombie during a chase
8: numerous loud hard cuts to a fireplace
9: When armed soldiers enter a dark tunnel a infected suddenly attacks one of them
10: A infected woman suddenly jumps up letting out a loud scream
11: A character is suddenly pulled up by a infected
12: While two characters are hiding a infected is suddenly shown above a rooster
13: after a moment of silence hands bursts out of the ceiling and grab a character
There are also more sudden sounds and jumpscares I don’t recall

V* all throughout this film. (Just watched this at the cinema, so no time stamps, very sorry!)
-Infected v* blood
-Spike is ill after drinking at the party. When he starts following his dad, look away. Happens shortly after. Give it 30 seconds and you should be good :)
-Soldiers being followed by the Infected. Two of them are attacked. Look away! They both v* blood.
-Isla is ill immediately after leaving shell/"hell"
This is all I can remember, so apologies if I've missed anything!

Worst example during end credits: between each name (“a film by danny boyle” etc) images of the infected flash rapidly, it gets quite strobey.
Opening shots of the Teletubbies on the television screen are glitchy/distorted.
When Spike and his dad first cross the causeway you hear the Boots poem - during these moments there are multiple cuts to various grainy clips. The red nightvision footage later on appears with lots of video noise/grain and various quick jump cuts.
When the characters discuss Dr Kelson and “fire” we cut to shots of roaring flames. Also note the image flickers quite a bit due to use of candles, torches during the village party and later a log fire in the bone temple at night.
Later a sequence with soldiers includes muzzle fire/gun shot flashes, and flashlights moving quickly in the dark. A few scenes later in the gas station there’s more gunfire and a big explosion followed by plenty of flames. More sudden gunfire in the train carriage.
The trailer gives a good indication of what’s in store, no surprises here flash-wise. Thankfully there are NO lightning flashes or flashing lightbulbs like in Days and Weeks.
