I don't want to go into spoilers, but as soon as they showed the setting for the final scene, I got really excited.

Same here. Can't wait for the next one now.

Enjoyed this quite a bit. RT ratings were sky high. I'd say 8/10, with emphasis on Ralph Fiennes performance.

Just saw it.

Entertaining, but I definitely didn't like it as much as the first.

Set up for #3 makes me very hopeful though

Bone Temple much better than the predecessor, which wasnt bad. Just an enjoyable film. Ending was great. Soundtrack great. Acting was great.

First movie of 2026, and if there are ten better movies over the next eleven months it's going to be a hell of a year. 28 Years Later was my third favorite of 2025, and this one is somehow just as good. Holy hell.

The only thing that sucks is that The Bone Temple is way underperforming at the box office, to the point where the next one is looking increasingly less likely to happen. But maybe with some actually star power in Cillian Murphy it'll get the green light?

Even if not, these two movies honestly feel like one relatively complete story, and I could not be more satisfied with the story they told.

The last two 28 YEARS LATER films have been some of my favorite horror films of the last several years. It also features some of Alex Garland’s best work in a long time. The ending to THE BONE TEMPLE promised a really satisfying conclusion. We better get it. https://t.co/yoGNvuO4kV

The Bone Temple is now out on digital, btw.

It's their own fault, they did seemingly zero marketing for it.

Yep, zero marketing, horrible time of the year to get people into the theaters...it's like they really didn't give a **** if people saw it in the theaters and had already resigned themselves to it tanking before they released it.

Two of the very best movies of the past year. Together they make for a fantastic/single four-hour story arc.

If the Netflix numbers are high enough maybe that will be enough to finally nudge Sony to greenlight the third one...

I watched this tonight. I really liked it! Voldemorts Old Nick show was awesome!

Sure hope so. Loved 28 Days later, liked 28 Weeks later quite a bit, hated 28YL. I'm offshore with Starlink so maybe I'll give BT a go tomorrow night.

It's too bad that the ad version of Netflix doesnt allow you to watch it.

Hopefully it ends up on another service at some point. Netflix blows.

I'm going to be the outlier and say I did not like Bone Temple one bit. I like the first and third a whole bunch and the second one is OK but this was miserable.

My only interesting parts were Samson's transformation and the surprise cameo finale. I strongly disliked everything else. Fine filming, directing; and acting but I was extremely disappointed. Completely lost its way as a zombie movie.

I am befuddled by fans of the first and third movie liking this.
