The zombie genre is back with a vengeance, and Hulu is feeding our insatiable appetite for the undead! But this time, it's not just any zombie flick; it's the highly anticipated sequel to one of the most influential zombie movies of our time.
Hulu has recently added '28 Weeks Later' to its streaming library, the follow-up to the iconic '28 Days Later'. With the recent success of '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' at the box office, fans are eager to revisit this thrilling franchise. And what better way to do that than with a streaming service?
Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, '28 Weeks Later' takes place six months after the events of the first film. The US Army attempts to restore order in a quarantined London, but the Rage Virus erupts once more within the safe zone. Critics praised the film as a relentless and smart addition to the genre, scoring 73% on Rotten Tomatoes. While it may not have reached the heights of its predecessor, it still delivered an intense and action-packed experience.
Here's where it gets interesting: despite being the lowest-rated in the franchise, '28 Weeks Later' was a box office hit, grossing over $72 million worldwide. This success sparked a third film and the recent '28 Years Later' series, proving the enduring popularity of these zombie tales. And with another untitled movie in the works, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down.
But wait, there's more! Hulu has also added a plethora of new titles this January, including 'Hotel Transylvania', 'Heat', 'Hacksaw Ridge', and 'Predator'. It seems like Hulu is on a mission to cater to diverse tastes, offering something for every type of viewer.
