Lots of unintended inter-film echoes in this one. Killers with gas masks. Deep South swamp monsters produced by genetic meddling. Characters named Tom and Sara. Nigh-unwatchable parodies. Point-missing adaptations. Movies that got the way they are because somebody figured they were too cheap not to be cheesy. Jerks played by Josh Gad. Intervals of 28 years…

Deathstalker II (1987), in which Jim Wynorski first becomes JIM WYNORSKI…

Don’t Go in the House (1979), in which I suppose we can’t really call him a slasher when his weapon of choice is an army-surplus flamethrower…

Doom (2005), in which you might just barely recognize an element or two from the source games if you squint hard and hit yourself on the head with a hammer…

Kids Go to the Woods… Kids Get Dead (2009), which I fully admit I brought on myself…

Little Monsters (2019), which must surely be the only romcom in which zombies eat children…

Mark of the Beast (2012), in which you might recognize the source story, but you won’t understand why they treated it this way…

My Bloody Valentine (2009), which manages to be one of the better horror remakes of the aughts mainly because that’s one of the easiest leagues around…

Razortooth (2009), which tries to get away with mutating Asian swamp eels into giant viperfish…

Terror in the Swamp (1984), which tries to get away with mutating a nutria into a killer Bigfoot…

and…

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026), in which teenaged maniacs cosplaying as Jimmy Saville make life difficult for an elderly man who just wants to listen to old Duran Duran records and shoot morphine with his giant, naked rage-zombie pal.
