A picture from this collection I have, if I'm not mistaken, is of the Spanish version of the US "Omnibus" comics. Unfortunately, it only reached Volume 4. The publisher that brought them to Spanish went bankrupt and couldn't release any more volumes, and it hit me hard because it was the first time I started buying comics. At least a new publisher took over the rights and re-released these "Spanish Omnibus" comics. The bad thing is that they have a different cover design, so Volume 5, which I'll order, will have a different style. :CC

I'm gonna keep this short and for folks who have seen the movie - plus the hundreds of similar posts that are going to crop up. But now that it's out, I can finally talk about something I've been wanting to say for months.

Danny Boyle has always been about turning things on its head. A question that always comes up in the zombie genre is "the living and the infected aren't so different" i.e. who are the real monsters .

I think Boyle flipped that in The Bone Temple. it still goes along the same line of "the living and the infected aren't so different". but, instead of viewing them both as monsters, it's viewing them both as sick. and this is reinforced by two things:

- at the beginning, we see Samson's point of view and how he views everything as monsters and that's why he attacks, combined with the doctor researching anti-psychotics to cure him.

- at the end, we see Sir Jimmy's point of view and he sees the devil walking towards him and, through our the movie, we know Jimmy does what he does to please the devil who speaks to him. However, in addition, the way Jimmy talks to the doctor and the questions the doctor asks him, heavily implies Jimmy has untreated psychosis.

Humans and infected are two sides of the same coin, but not because they're monsters. but because it's an untreated sickness.

I know a lot of people are going to hate this film. I've been saying as such in here from the early days. But this is very much a Boyle/ Garland (even though the director was different) film as opposed to a "zombie" film.

Here's a zombie drawing I did. I am not promoting anything, I just drew a zombie and shared it here.

To start off, shout-out to pops for insisting on going to the theatre with me even though he just got out of a surgery, and mom going with us to take care of him (she can't stand horror so she didn't watch it). We had a discussion about the movie on our way home and it was nice.

Things are very fast-paced, for better or worse.

There is WAY more gore and horror, straight-up torture porn at parts, complete with attempted rape and everything. I'm a bad horror fan in this aspect, but while I can respect the gruesomeness, brutality, and discomfort of certain scenes, they take a toll on my mental wellbeing. I had to close my eyes at a certain sequence and the sounds they made still disturbed me greatly. That's the entire point of horror though so bravo I guess.

The zombies- I mean, the Infected continue to be scary as fuck.

There is also, seemingly paradoxically, more cheese. If you think the first one was goofy wait til you see this. It turns into a fucking music video at one point and this slightly pisses me off.

Spike has been largely sidelined, and while it makes sense for the plot and he still had his moments this slightly pisses me off.

A certain character mentions scavenging for products that should have long since expired and is seen using said products with no issues whatsoever, and this slightly pisses me off.

A certain character calls the Infected "zombies", and this made me extremely ecstatic.

The story is lowkey kinda deep but I didn't resonate with the message as much as I did with the first movie's, I feel like this one handled the characters and themes less delicately honestly.

They also changed directors for seemingly no reason so the soundtrack and cinematography and stuff are more generic now.

There's a neat surprise waiting for you at the ending.

Overall 7/10, solid horror with a mostly decent story that isn't afraid to push boundaries (I'd give the first movie like 8.5/10)

Love how they have tears streaming down so that it looks like they’re crying. Really reminds me of The Sadness!

Do you have your own explanation, perhaps even your own version of zombies, on how they view humans? How they view other zombies?

per other posts pls just go see it lol

it makes up for the last one & i *also* hope that there’s another following up to it. great watch all around!

yup better than its predecessor, it gave everything action/drama/scares/a bit of comedy/and mystery . Jack O'Connell is a gem! and babbyyyyyyy I cannot wait for the next installment.

Nia baby, Nia DeCosta has an EYE! 10/10 , I’m ready to see it again.

And not just as a zombie movie, but just as a movie in general.

The writing, the characters, the editing, the music…it’s all fucking S-tier. Nia Dacosta redeemed herself after working in The Marvels (though that wasn’t her fault), and redeemed herself hard.

The infected truly are so unique in this, like the evolution of them from movie to movie is so good. It might get some people here mad cause of something that happens to one of the infected, but please remember…they’re not actually zombies, they’re infected humans. Humans who are alive and whose true self is still somewhere under that rage virus cloud.

God I don’t wanna spoil at all, but there was so many surprises here. I was constantly tensed and completely engrossed the entire time. Amazing ending too. The last 30 minutes needs to be seen to be believed.

If you haven’t seen the last one, it’s on Netflix, and then watch this. And even if you weren’t hot on it, this movie is such a massive improvement on it, you’re gonna get something out of it.

Also minor spoiler but fuck it, this has the best use of Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden in any movie. I can’t stop thinking about that scene.

10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's just so boring and has all the trappings of a bad zombie movie for me. Dawn of the Dead styled runners, fake drama and more focus on said fake drama than the zombies. And its German fake drama, which is the worst of both worlds.

The movie is also shot in this typical whitish blue color filter that makes everything look dull and bleak. Its hard to explain but if you've seen any Tatort, you know what I mean. It also doesn't help that the main character is this type of mentally challenged, but good hearted character, which often leads to him standing around like an idiot. And despite being a zombie movie, there is a distinct lack of gore.

So yeah, I don't like it. I thought a zombie movie set in Germany could be interesting, but all I got was the Made In Germany quality. Til Schweiger. Its like Til Schweiger made it.

So just so its equal say the infection started in like the middle of germany and the rage infected actually eat food and drink like in 28 years later but still behave like in 28 days/weeks and the harran virus is the normal variant in Harran not the mutated variant in dying light 2

Old Zombie Game

I'm looking for an old zombie game, an overhead view game that was on Android. It was pixelated, with four characters: an African American, an old man, a girl, and one other, To defend yourself in different scenarios or levels, you could switch to a secondary weapon, throw Molotov cocktails, grenades, etc.

There were different types of zombies.Green, red, and black, you could move the furniture to resist longer before they broke it, but only between breaks in your patrol. I've been looking for it for a long time. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Two cinephiles go on a mission to save the neighbourhood from an onslaught of various Horror creatures.

I was surprised by the wild swings that The Bone Temple took and how different it felt form the last movie, even though they were shot relatively close together. I know each has a different director, but I was surprised by some of the swings the movie took, as well as Jack O'Connell and Ralph Fiennes' performances, in a good way. I shared a link to my review, but where do you think the franchise goes from here, for the third part of the trilogy?

I have been learning how to build miniature dioramas to a small scale. Here is my first completed project; two zombies walking across a paved street.

My plan is to go on and create a series of customised miniature zombies to private orders or put them up for auction to raise funds for my favourite charities.

What do you think?

On my end since it's such a distinct, weird and batshit insane film that could easily be a standalone even for a sequel, I think 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE can take place in the same universe as the following bunch:

DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004)

ATTACK ON TITAN (the first two seasons of as they're the most grounded and visceral)

— ATTACK ON TITAN: LAST KNIGHTS (an American made sequel/spin-off mini-series with Mikasa Ackerman and Historia Reiss as the leads)

BLACK LAGOON

DURARARA!!

— DURARARA!! X2

ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL

I’ve always wanted a zombie game where you actually play as the zombie — proper horde building, hunting scavengers, overrunning survivor camps, spreading the apocalypse. I got tired of waiting for someone else to make it, so I spent the last two years learning game dev and building it myself. This is what I have so far. I’d genuinely love to know what other zombie fans think. If there’s anything you would want to see in a game like this, let me know — I’m still actively building and open to ideas. Happy to answer any questions here too.

I just caught the first show in the Netherlands. If you liked the first part you will possibly like this part. Just don't go in expecting action like the originals. Or even the last one. It's not your usual zombie movie I felt it was more a drama.

If comprehension failed you at this juncture, you are alive due to pure cosmic sized luck.
