28 Years Later is never exactly “scary,” but it’s constantly uncomfortable. Director Danny Boyle, returning to the franchise he helped create along with writer Alex Garland, tells this latest zombie tale with a kinetic and engrossing filmmaking style that makes even the most mundane actions unsettling.
