'28 Years Later' trailer is so intense you'll need a headache tablet (2)

28 Years Later one of the movies we can't wait to see in 2025 and the second sequel to one of the best British horror movies of all time — has another chilling trailer that will send you hurtling into existential anxiety and a world of blood.

Director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland reunite for this follow-up to 2002's Cillian Murphy-led 28 Days Later and 2007's 28 Weeks Later. It's set 28 years after the events of the first two films and stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes.

The film sees a world still festering with the virus that changed the world. In the trailer we're led into a small fortified island village where life has found a way, protected from infected and non-infected alike. We're not sure why two of the village need to visit the mainland, but it sure looks like a risky mission.

The rest of the trailer is an intense, eye-popping, bone-crunching, jump-scare-filled nightmare — reportedly shot on an iPhone 15 Pro Max — that suggests we're in for something truly messed up. Zombies breaking through stained glass to reach an ecstatic priest? Fast-as-fuck monsters rampaging through a field? Piles of skulls that look human-made? I need a headache tablet after watching that.

How to watch: 28 Years Later opens June 20.
