Horror fans are excited for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, but what songs are included on the soundtrack? Find out below.
The film is a sequel to last year’s 28 Years Later, which itself served as a return to the universe that was set up by Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later in 2002.
The Bone Temple was filmed back-to-back with its predecessor and was directed by Nia DaCosta (Hedda, The Marvels, Candyman), and sees Ralph Fiennes return as Dr. Ian Kelson, a former GP dedicated to memorialising the victims of the rage virus epidemic.
Jack O’Connell reprises his role of Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal from the final scene of 28 Years Later, while Alfie Williams returns as Spike, the teenager who sets out alone in the previous film.
The film was released in UK cinemas on Wednesday (January 14), and you can check out the trailer here:
In a four-star review of the film, NME wrote: “DaCosta and accomplished writer Alex Garland (Warfare, Ex Machina, Civil War) delight in exploring a desolate, gruesome and lawless Britain, ignored and forgotten by the rest of the world. Some jokers might say that it sounds like a documentary but the goings-on here wouldn’t happen in your local high street. Not this week, anyway.”
“With a uniformly impressive cast, spectacular scenes of carnage and the unshakeable feeling that anything could happen, this zombie franchise is as thrilling as it’s ever been. It’s well worth taking a trip to The Bone Temple.”
28 Years Later was also named as NME’s second best film of 2025.
Every song on the 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple soundtrack
The film includes an original score from Hildur Guðnadóttir, the experimental Icelandic composer known for her work on Joker, Tar and DaCosta’s previous films Candyman and Hedda.
The ending of the film also sees it refer back to the first film in the franchise by including ‘In The House, In A Heartbeat’, composed by John Murphy for 28 Days Later.
On top of that, the new film makes dramatic use of some huge needle drops – including Radiohead’s ‘Everything In Its Right Place’. Some tracks from Fiennes’ character’s personal record collection also get an airing, including Duran Duran’s ‘Ordinary World’, ‘Girls On Film’ and ‘Rio’, and Iron Maiden’s ‘The Number Of The Beast’.
