We only watched until The Critical Drinker warned there would be spoilers. His opinions, good or bad, have never let us down. So my husband and I braved the icy winds to attend a showing the very next day.

| The Real Handsome Drinker, Mostly Sober... |
Upon returning home, we finished watching, agreeing as The Drinker opined that the two flicks could have each been condensed a bit and combined for a more cohesive story. The obvious bridge ending left us baffled outside clear plans for a sequel.
But I guess that’s Hollywood greed for you. Anyway, here are my thoughts. First off, it’s not for everyone, even some horror fans without a strong stomach. I’m a confirmed scary movie aficionado and looked away several times during the first act.
I enjoyed the second and third acts far more than the violence repulsed me. Ralph Fiennes’ reprised character performance brought humanity, heart, wisdom, hope, surprising humor, and even some amazing theatricality.
It’s understandable if you’re no longer reading this post. I just needed to share my thoughts. And if anyone does decide to watch “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” or are otherwise curious I have two silly, innocuous related questions. And if you wish to see it, further below is the spoiler review...
Are you a fan of Duran Duran’s eighties pop music? Do you know what an ossuary is?
