28 Years Later ups the scale and the heart–and it’s scary, too

Spoiler alert (not): 28 Years Later, the second sequel to director Danny Boyle’s influential 2002 shocker 28 Days Later, could hardly be better. And unlike 28 Weeks Later, the rather meh second film of the franchise, this new entry serves up something deeply emotional, stunningly ambitious, seriously creepy, decidedly distinctive from its predecessor(s), and exhilaratingly suspenseful.
