We are dropped into this out-of-control world with more characters and more story lines to follow. The architect of the bone yard, Dr Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), returns and has actually become friends with an infected alpha male by the name of Sampson (Chi Lewis-Parry). His medical curiosity is engaged by his connection with this monster of a man through getting him addicted to opioids.

Elsewhere, Spike (Alfie Williams) returns and he has become a member of a marauding gang led by the Satanist Sir Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell). Nicknaming all his fellow thugs Jimmy, the gang gets up to some very horrible things. This repulses Spike, but he stays in the gang out of a sense of self-preservation. He is befriended by Jimmy Ink / Kelly (Erin Kellyman), who helps him hold on to the last parts of his humanity.

When the Jimmys and Dr Kelson finally come together, it leads to one of the greatest utilizations of a rock song in film history. While Iron Maiden’s track The Number of the Beast blasts away, through impressive theatrics, the Doc convinces the Jimmys that he is actually Satan. This scene alone is worth the price of admission. Elsewhere, the story is given extra gravitas by the underlying hint of redemption in a world that is in the throes of absolute chaos. This all happens amid the rampant escalation of the infected and the barbarism that lies at the heart of survival.

Set in 1916 during World War 1, a local choral society is losing members to the war effort. When the choirmaster quits to joins the military, a replacement must be found. The man chosen is Dr Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes), an unlikely choice. His homosexuality, Germanophilia and atheism divide the members of the small town. He is, however, excellent at his job and eventually whips the ragtag group into shape.

This lengthy transition forms the backbone of the film, and as we get to know the townspeople, we see them as inherently kind and thoughtful. The hurdles they overcome are played for humour effect with an undercurrent of social relevance. It’s presented in a way that’s far from preachy. This makes for a rather inviting time.

Quintessential British, with that charm and understatement intact, The Choral touches on a subject that seems to be fading from the public’s consciousness: the life-affirming nature of group led music and its creation. That there is a solidarity that forms when people from different walks of life unite for a common musical purpose is a subject that should never fade from public view.

1916. As war rages on the Western Front, the Choral Society in Ramsden, Yorkshire has lost most of its men to the army.

The Choral’s ambitious committee, determined to press ahead, decides to recruit local young males to swell their ranks. They must also engage a new chorus master, and despite their suspicions that he has something to hide, their best bet seems to be Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) – driven, uncompromising, and recently returned from a career in Germany.

As conscription papers start to arrive, the whole community discovers that the best response to the chaos that is laying waste to their lives is to make music together.

Directed by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award winner Nicholas Hytner (The Crucible) and written by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award winner Alan Bennett, The Choral marks their fourth writer-director collaboration following the acclaimed films The Madness of King George, The History Boys, and The Lady in The Van.

We start this time on a small Scottish island that has largely endured the Rage virus due to its isolation from the mainland. Times have become much simpler with that remoteness. There is however a waterway that links to the mainland during low tide and it becomes a rite of passage to cross it and kill a zombie with a bow and arrow. That of course makes no sense.

This foolishness leads Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) to take his young son Jimmy (Rocco Haynes) on just such a quest. But the boy is too sensitive and only has concern for his ill mother played by Jodie Comer. During this folly, the two are lucky to escape with their lives and the celebration afterwards has a marked effect on Jimmy. When he hears rumours of a rogue doctor on the mainland he hatches a plan to take his mother to seek treatment.

The doctor played by Ralph Fiennes is a revelation for Jimmy and changes his outlook on life and his future forever. The expertise shown in the storytelling gives the film such emotional resonance and since it is a Danny Boyle work you are also guaranteed some fantastic crazy at some point and in this instance it happens at the film’s end. This is a work where the end result becomes more than the sum of its parts.

Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new story set in the world created by 28 Days Later.

It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected.

One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

28 Years Later will be released in Aussie cinemas June 19!
