With “Spike” (Alfie Williams) now a captive of “Sir Jimmy” (Jack O’Connell) and his other “Jimmies”, you wouldn't give much for his chances of survival. Terrified and hopelessly out-knived he must face a duel to survive, but even if he wins what awaits him under the control of this megalomaniac who considers himself the direct heir of Satan himself? Meantime, the iodine-coated “Kelson” (Ralph Fiennes) is venturing from his Nissen hut under the ground long enough to try to experiment on the violent alpha whom he names “Samson” (Chi Lewis-Parry). He establishes quickly that morphine will becalm this mighty Jason Momoa lookalike, but what if he tries a cocktail of medication on him? Might he be able to impact on the psychotic behaviour of those infected? Oddly enough, the most psychotic of all in this world is “Sir Jimmy” and when he espies the two talking amongst his towers of bones, he convinces his disciples that “Kelson” is none other than “Old Nick” himself and so a meeting with daddy looms large. Now I did feel that the story of “Spike” was rather lost here. Although we do follow him and get a sense of the fear in which he lives, that storyline’s emphasis shifts more onto the sh

I'm not quite as taken with "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" as I was with its immediate predecessor. The considered, intelligent, insightful aspects of this film, embodied in Ralph Fiennes's Dr Ian Kelson character, are undermined with the re-introduction of the stabby satanic fashion refugees from the closing scenes of the last film. I was critical of their rather ridiculous Clockwork Orange-at-the-end-of-the-world-style antics and remain so. Their oftentimes moronic presence drags this film down, reducing it to an often grotesque farce on more than one occasion. The "we're all Jimmy" line is reminiscent of "we're Negan" from The Walking Dead, minus the gritty gravitas. In summary, not a bad film but not a great one either. Sophisticated elements, diluted to often mild stupidity by the almost cartoonish presence, of the oddball fashion extras, with a satanic infatuation.

"That was some gory !@#$. Holy !@#$! Is it safe to open me eyes?" **SPOILERS AHEAD!** I was hesitant to watch this after the previous installment, but I saw Ralph Fiennes in the promo images and figured "I like Ralph Fiennes, and I liked the doctor from the previous movie, so why not?" The best three things from "28 Years Later" take center stage in "The Bone Temple": The doctor, the "Howzats", and "Samson's" big !@#$in' d***. For a hot minute, I thougth the dad had returned, but thank !@#$, no he didn't. I don't need to ever return to dad, thanks. There's a lot of gore. Brace yourself. Also, there are no !@#$in' "Boots" or medieval bull!@#$ to be seen or heard! Cheers! I'm looking forward to the next one. P.S. Where it comes to representation... I want to say that I feel like Satanism gets the short end of the stick constantly, but I have to remind myself that there are, in fact, lunatics who do worship devils and call themselves Satanists, the same way that there are lunatics who convince themselves that their devil is a benevolent god, and call themselves Christians, Catholics, and Muslims, etc. Is all the !@#$in' same, innit? Look around, and try to convince me it ain't.
