Guessing the kid acting like a carrier at the end of the second movie allowed the virus to continue, and it is probably being intentionally spread by some sort of cult in this one.
After this much time we once again reach the point where the remaining humans become the scarier threat instead of the actual zombies.
Edit: If the cult is even human? Weren’t there signs that the zombies had some form of intelligence? What if they sort of create their own primitive tribal death cult-ure…
If I’m remembering right they’re not zombies in the traditional sense. They retain levels of intelligence. We see instances of the infected ambushing people, using their senses to actually track and route prey.
I wouldn’t be surprised if in the following trilogy we see that the rage virus has evolved further. It could be that there are death cults built around the concept of the virus being diving punishment or cleansing the earth.
Traditional sense is funny because traditionally the zombie myth stems from drugged up voodoo “zombies”. There’s no real concept of how dumb or intelligent, or how slow or fast, or how undead or infected they can or should be because ultimately it’s all just written fiction and every writer can put his own spin to it. But yes, I vaguely remember that they showed some form of intelligence. So when I saw the bone structures in the trailer I immediately went more towards some weird tribalistic stone age type savages instead of a death cult. Could very well be both with some interplay between them of course. I think the first movies generally left a lot of questions unanswered and I’m curious if we even get answers here, given the very long time jump. Looking forward to finding out though because that trailer was dope and I’m a huge fan of post apocalyptic societies (in fiction at least, not so much IRL).
Yeah, I guess I meant in the movie traditionalist sense. But you’re right. At the end of the day it’s fantasy so writers are gonna write.
I hope things remain kind of vague tbh. It would be fun to question if these cultists are infected or not or if they like… microdose the blood of the infected as a desth ritual or something. Toeing the line between being infected and sentient.
The bone structures really interest me. It also appears the rest of the world may or may not have recovered from the infection after the end of 28 Weeks. Military structure still seems in place as does tech advancement based on what the soldiers are wearing. Seems the UK is right fucked though.
So much for the zombies dying of starvation 🤷🏻♂️
Too filled with rage to starve to death.
“My anger sustains me.”
Relatable.

I really can’t wait to see this series.
