'28 Years Later's Alpha Zombie Is the Sequel's Biggest Swing (Pun Intended)
More than two decades after 28 Days Later helped reinvigorate the zombie genre (and ignited an insufferable debate about what constitutes a zombie movie), Sony has released the long-awaited sequel, 28 Years Later. As they did in 2002, director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland are redefining the boundaries of the genre as the rage virus evolves and produces new iterations of infected. While the post-opening weekend discourse is largely focused on whether the film's insane final scene – in which Jack O'Connell leads a sinister gang of acrobatic "Jimmys" styled like disgraced British TV personality/known sex offender Jimmy Savile – is good or bad (it's good, you fools), not enough attention is being paid to the biggest swing in 28 Years Later: the Alpha Zombie. And yes, that pun was most definitely intended.
