28 Years Later fans are sharply divided over the film's unexpected final moments, particularly a shocking UK historical reference that sparked widespread discussion.
This epilogue-style ending arrives after the movie's core narrative has reached its conclusion. The final sequence introduces an entirely new cast of characters set to feature in the upcoming sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
Though intended to set up The Bone Temple - filmed simultaneously with 28 Years Later - many viewers criticized the tonal discord between the ending and the main film. The abrupt change from heartfelt resolution to the "jarringly comedic" introduction of future protagonists has proved especially divisive. Additionally, overt allusions to a controversial British historical personality left many audience members stunned.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for 28 Years Later.
