It’s Friday, and if our increasingly pre-apocalyptic-seeming historical moment has you in the mood for some post-apocalyptic entertainment—or if you’ve just got zombies on the braaaaaiiiiiiiiin—you’re in luck; Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, the original zombsters behind 28 Days Later, have returned with 28 Years Later, in which England is still beset by the living dead and Ralph Fiennes is buff and mad and red. Per GQ UK’s Jack King, it’s less of a horror movie and more of “a coming-of-age film about one kid's loss of adolescent innocence, albeit in a world inhabited by rage-infected psychos.” If you’ve already seen the film and found yourself puzzled by one particular aspect of the ending, we’ve got an (spoileriffic, obviously) explainer right here. And speaking of zombies, Laura Wynne weighs in today with a rundown of the 20 best zombie movies of all time, from the 1940s to present day.

Almost like there’s no device between you and your content.”
