The Rage Virus has infected cinemas once again, and now, you can dress for it. Fright Rags has just revealed a new collection of merch for 28 Days Later, Danny Boyle’s post-apocalyptic masterpiece that inspired a whole franchise of films, and it’s deadly good.
Currently, they’re offering three designs, all on black shirts with muted red and white designs by Kyle Crawford. The first, “Rage,” features the eye of someone infected with the rage virus, spiraling out of control, while “The Days Are Numbered” features a motif of skulls, biohazard symbols, and the number 28. The third, “Alone,” puts original star Cillian Murphy front and center alongside the film’s title, in a replica of one of the most famous stills from the film. All three shirts retail for $33 USD, and are also available in Comfort Colors options.
While three designs might not seem like a lot, merchandise for the film franchise is rare, especially considering that the film wasn’t even available on streaming until recently. But, with the release of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple this week, it’s no surprise that new designs are cropping up for folks to wear to the theaters as positive reviews for Nia DaCosta’s sequel.
FANGORIA’s own Amber T described the sequel as a “bedtime story of nightmares,” noting that “the gore is grislier, the kills more vicious and the stakes more sinister than ever before.” The film features the return of Ralph Fiennes and Sinners standout Jack O’Connell, as well as new leads Erin Kellyman and standout star Chi Lewis-Parry as one of the Infected, and there’s already plans to round out the trilogy with a third film bringing Murphy back into the fold.
