Hey guys! How's it going? I'm doing alright. The weather has been a little iffy lately but I don't mind it. It beats the triple digits but I know it's going to be here next week so I'm taking advantage of the nice weather. Anyways, I have been at the theaters the past couple weeks so I thought I might stream a movie this time around so Movie of the Night: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple!
In this sequel of 28 Years Later, Spike (played by Alfie Williams) just lost his parents and is hurled into a satanic cult with their leader, Sir Jimmy Crystal (played by Jack O'Connell) who thinks things should be done because of Old Nick. And who would think that Dr. Ian Kelson (played by Ralph Fiennes) might be Old Nick? One of Sir Jimmy's followers, and Spike really hopes Dr. Kelson doesn't reveal him. But other than meeting the cult, Dr. Kelson has been busy with creating concoctions: One of which is curing the virus that caused the outbreak and with an Alpha too! It's up to Dr. Kelson to make sure Spike doesn't get hurt in the hands of Sir Jimmy and his mad way of thinking.
This was a movie I wanted to watch in theaters. I watched the first one in theaters so I wanted to continue watching the series on the big screen. It's just the zombies are something else in this universe. They're fast and they can rip your head off with one clean tug because the Alphas are nothing to play around with. Played by Chi Lewis-Parry, Samson was an interesting character to see in the other one and then to have the second film go around him? It was definitely interesting seeing him get high off of morphine and the fact that Dr. Kelson found companionship with him was even more interesting. I really thought the ending was going to be a little bit different, because of Sir Jimmy threatening Dr. Kelson and then Samson maybe taking vengeance for him, but it was still satisfying to see Sir Jimmy get what he deserves. Also was it me or was Dr. Kelson giving Ozzy vibes when he was meeting Sir Jimmy's cult? I know he was singing Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast" so it's not Ozzy, but it was just his presentation that made me think of Ozzy. Anyways, it was the companionship that Kelson and Samson had that made me wonder how the movie was going to progress especially since Samson was becoming more human as time went on. Even though I didn't get to watch this one in theaters, I'm still glad I can watch it at home where it can be found on Netflix. If you're in a zombie mood, you should check it out! Just make sure to watch 28 Years Later otherwise you might wonder how Spike came to be with the Jimmies and why Samson and Dr. Kelson are the way they are.
