28 Years Later currently dominates Bring Her Back 71–29
Boyle's zombie franchise edges out the standalone thriller.
The Verdict Class of 2025
28 Days Later invented modern fast-zombie cinema, and Boyle returning to that franchise carries a recognition weight that standalone 2025 films haven't had time to build. Bring Her Back is competing purely on what it delivers in the moment. From the current vote count, the lineage has the narrow edge, but the standalone is close enough to suggest the franchise advantage isn't automatic.
