10 Of The Best Upcoming 4K And Blu-Ray Horror Releases

Despite ending its theatrical run as a box office bomb, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple looks set to be one of the most critically acclaimed movies of 2026, setting the bar for the year high following its January release.

Nia DaCosta (Candyman) takes the reigns for the follow-up to Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later, with Ralph Fiennes, Alfie Williams and Jack O'Connell returning to star as survivors of the Rage Virus that ravaged Britain almost three decades prior.
