28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, directed by Nia DaCosta, holds 92% on Rotten Tomatoes — the best score in the franchise — with an A-minus CinemaScore, yet earned just $57.9 million worldwide against a $63 million budget. Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell star in a strange, ambitious sequel about faith, death, and a cathedral built from skulls. Verdict: worth the hype — the most ambitious horror film of the year, even if cinemas ignored it.
