As the anticipation builds for 28 Years Later, Danny Boyle’s long-awaited continuation of his iconic zombie saga, there’s no better time to revisit the film that started it all. And what better place to do it than at the Grosvenor Picture Theatre? Our beloved local venue is perfect for rediscovering modern horror on the big screen.

Released in 2002, 28 Days Later didn’t just revive the zombie genre - it redefined it. Boyle’s bleak, adrenaline-charged vision of a post-apocalyptic Britain, deserted and overrun by rage-infected humans, was a radical departure from the shambling undead of past horror. It inspired countless imitators and set the tone for two decades of horror storytelling.
Watching it now, with 28 Years Later on the horizon, offers a unique opportunity: to appreciate where it all began and rediscover the raw power of the original story, characters, and style.

Boyle’s next instalment is fast approaching, and if rumours are true, it’s set to be more ambitious than ever. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a newcomer, watching 28 Days Later is the essential first step in preparing for what promises to be one of the most talked-about horror events of the decade.
