A classic UK horror film that\u2019s not available to stream online is airing on TV tonight (Sunday, June 15) for free.<\/p>\n

Fans of the genre <\/a>will be rushing to the cinema on Friday (June 20) to see Danny Boyle\u2019s zombie sequel 28 Years later.<\/p>\n

Released 23 years after the original, the horror is set nearly three decades after a rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory.<\/p>\n

While the majority of people are still living in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amid the infected.<\/p>\n

A group of survivors on a small island remain connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. However, trouble ensues when a father and his son leave the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland.<\/p>\n

Fans have been waiting for Boyle to return to the series <\/a>for years, with Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directing the first sequel 28 Weeks later in 2007.<\/p>\n

With Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes leading the new venture, now is the perfect time to visit where everything started.<\/p>\n

28 Days later stars Cillian Murphy as a bicycle courier who awakens from a coma to discover that that society has collapsed, with zombies roaming the streets.<\/p>\n

Attempting to survive in a world he doesn\u2019t recognise, Murphy is joined by Naomie Harris, Christopher Eccleston, Megan Burns and Brendan Gleeson in supporting roles.<\/p>\n

Kicking off the 21st century zombie revival, the film <\/a>was applauded for capturing the lengths the world will go to survive in the face of evil.<\/p>\n

Boyle famously closed the streets of London to transform typically busy areas into a shell of their former selves.<\/p>\n

Boasting a score of 87% on Rotten Tomatoes, the film grossed a staggering $84.6 million worldwide on a budget of $8 million.<\/p>\n

Despite being one of the most famous horror movies of all time, 28 Days Later has been missing from streaming for a number of years.<\/p>\n

It is believed that when Disney lost the rights to the series to Sony, they were unable to stream it on Disney+ anymore.<\/p>\n

On top of this, 28 Days Later has become difficult to find on DVD and Blu-ray due to going out of print a number of years ago, with expensive second hand copies being sold online.<\/p>\n

With lots of people looking to catch up on the original outing before heading to the cinema, it’s time to have a quiet night in and prepare to get scared.<\/p>\n

28 Days Later airs on Sunday, June 15, on BBC One and on the BBC iPlayer at 10.30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The film has become one of the hardest to watch legally in recent years 06:29, 15 Jun 2025Updated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":185918,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[77,3063,3943,382,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-185917","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-film","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-tv","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114686464119208990","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
