Days became weeks then, weeks became years now as 28 Years Later is seemingly set many decades after the unfortunate events of the first two films. This trailer featured Aaron with his kid exploring the devastated ruins of Earth and surviving against all odds thrown at them. This reminds me of HBO’s The Last of Us and I can’t wait to watch the latest installment of one of my favorite zombie franchises next year. In the meantime, let us know your thoughts about the new trailer of 28 Years Later in the comments below.
