10 Horror Franchises Where Every Movie Is Good
5. 28 Days Later
With the recent release of 28 Years Later and imminent bow of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, we can well and truly call 28 Days Later a bonafide horror franchise, and an impressively solid one.
Danny Boyle's original 2003 film is one of the most distinctive and memorable horrors of the entire 21st century to date, fusing a unique take on a "zombie" apocalypse with disturbing psychological horror and a masterfully grotty DV aesthetic.
And while 28 Weeks Later doesn't get close to the same heights, it's still a visceral follow-up with one of the most unsettling opening sequences of any horror film, well, ever.
And most recently we have 28 Years Later, which while polarising for several reasons is certainly a bold and unique entry into a genre that can't not feel oversaturated in 2025.
Boyle and writer Alex Garland clearly have little interest in just doing the same thing over again, and for all its divisive elements, 28 Years Later at least charts an intriguing course forward for the next two sequels.
