Redefining the modern horror genre, the "28" franchise, created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, introduces a terrifying vision of a post-apocalyptic United Kingdom devastated by the Rage virus. Unlike traditional zombies, the infected here are living, adrenaline-fueled killing machines that turn in seconds. Spanning decades—from the initial outbreak to failed repopulation efforts and long-term societal collapse—the series explores themes of biological warfare, human nature, and survival against impossible odds.
