'28 Years Later' introduces a character named Sir Jimmy Crystal, a cult leader resembling the infamous abuser Jimmy Savile. Chi Lewis-Parry, who plays an infected Alpha, acknowledges the boldness of incorporating Crystal, noting the challenge of creating original horror. The film invites viewers to confront real-life horrors within a fantastical framework, suggesting deeper psychological engagement compared to typical horror tropes. Director Danny Boyle continues to provoke audiences as he did in previous works. The sequel, titled 'The Bone Temple,' is anticipated to delve further into these themes.
Chi Lewis-Parry noted, "Introducing that character is a different type of horror. It's taking real horror and sticking it in a fantasy horror scenario. I think that's masterful because you're not just relying on the jump scares and the stereotypical gore."
Boyle has always challenged audiences with his films. In the world of '28 Years Later,' the Rage Virus would have broken out before Savile's crimes could be unearthed.
