In the meantime, fans are met with a short but creepy holding video. Lasting around a minute and 40 seconds, it shows the 28 Years Later biohazard logo intercut with random snippets of chaos and mayhem.
The whole thing is soundtracked to the same eerie spoken word track that featured in the sequel’s first, record-breaking trailer which was released earlier this year.

Wondering what that is? It’s a poem called Boots by Rudyard Kipling, first published in a 1903 collection called Five Nations. It details the drudging monotony and brutality of war – and perfectly suited Boyle’s bloodthirsty world.

“LETS GOOOOO,” shouted another.
“The most anticipated horror of 2025 and arguably this decade is edging closer to its release, and we are all here for it,” said a third.
Meanwhile, one commenter predicted that 28 Years Later will be their “MOVIE OF THE YEAR.”
Record breaking first trailer
The first teaser trailer for 28 Years Later dropped in late 2024 and become a massive hit with horror fans. In fact, it ended up becoming the most watched horror trailer of the year. Cut to April 2025 and the trailer has a mammoth 24 million views.
28 Years Later will pick up years after Boyle’s 2002 horror movie about a virus that transforms its hosts into undead hoards caught in a constant state of rage.
It will feature Aaron Taylor Johnson, Jodi Comer and Ralph Fiennes, with original movie screenwriter Alex Garland returning to write the script. It’s set to be released theatrically on 20 June 2025.
