Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later” comes back to haunt us “28 years later.” The director returns to the gory-zombie track he first engaged with two decades and more. Re-teaming with Alex Garland, who has since gone from screenwriting to direction(“Annihilation”), the director-screenwriter duo jump to a ‘threequel’ going from  “28 Days Later,” to Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s 2007 sequel “28 Weeks Later”, which Boyle produced, to the current film.

The third addition in this trilogy is a horror film that is subversive, gruesome, tonally adventurous and fancifully transitive. It’s neither predictable nor does it focus on call backs or re-tracks. It is refreshingly different within the franchise it seeks to build on.

The film begins during the initial days of the virus attack with a group of children in the Scottish Highlands, watching an episode of the “Teletubbies” interrupted by a horde of flesh-eaters. One child manages to escape, running to his dad, a priest accepting of this Biblical prophecy.
