I liked 28 Years: Bone Temple and also think it's one of the more imaginative sci-fi/zombie attempts at anti-fascist art. Much more than a polemic. Also, it introduced me, decades after I scoffed at high school classmates' Eddie the Head t-shirts, to the wonders of Iron Maiden.
Jan 30, 2026 19:16Seriously: last movie in the series introduced broad audience to concept of memento mori, art that reminds that we all must die, and in doing so provokes contemplation of how to live. In an absolutely over-the-top, post-apocalyptic, life-or-death Iron Maiden karoake scene, Bone Temple embodies it.
Just popping in to say that Maiden does, indeed, rule. There's literally no better feeling than suddenly realizing you are now cooler and less judgmental than your youthful self so you can unironically enjoy the good stuff, now.
