Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later features a haunting tower of skulls, crafted by Dr. Ian Kelson to memorialize the many lost souls, infected or uninfected. This eerie monument stirs compassion while highlighting pervasive death. Kelson's actions—burning skin and polishing skulls—reflect a struggle to retain humanity in a zombie-ravaged world. The narrative echoes the themes of the original 28 Days Later, which, while featuring horror elements, primarily explores human behavior in catastrophe, making its social commentary deeply resonant following 9/11.
Every skull is a set of thoughts, these sockets saw, and these jaws swallowed. In a world overwhelmed by death, the memorial forces us to reflect on lost humanity.
Those lusting for cool monster action and cheap genre thrills must remember that 28 Days Later wasn’t just a zombie flick; it examined humanity's extremes in devastation.
