In this next creepy chapter of the planned trilogy of “28 Days Later,” the horrifying tale of the insanity wrought in Britain due to the Rage Virus continues. We first saw this in Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later” back in 2002; now the story that follows “28 Years Later” gets more disturbing and scary as original screenwriter Alex Garland keeps the terrible story going. Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell return as adversaries in this second part of the trilogy.

But like every good horror tale, this house holds a deadly secret – and it all centers around Ben, the lovable chimpanzee who’s part of the family. This is one “Primate” who’s not quite as domesticated as Tarzan’s Cheetah was, so try not to scream as Ben begins to be a very bad monkey in this scary film starring Oscar winner Troy Kotsur and Jessica Alexander.

Ever worry about the end of the world right when the New Year begins? Then this futuristic thriller is certain to either make you positive that the end is near, or else decide that it just takes one human being to stand up and fight back when the zombie vampires start multiplying. Set in Tasmania, that remote and beautiful Australian island, and starring Daisy Ridley of “Star Wars” fame, this movie begins as an office squabble and then escalates quickly into an edge-of-your-seat nightmarish adventure as the two crash survivors realize that they have touched down on an island that holds a frightening secret.
