The extraordinary teaser trailer for Danny Boyle’s zombi.. sorry, infected sci-fi ramped up anticipation levels instantly. Accompanied by the insistent rhythms of Rudyard Kipling’s Boer War marching poem Boots, it was full of mood and menace. There was a glimpse of stars Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and one emaciated member of the undead everyone thought was Cillian Murphy’s Jim (it’s going to be bleak, but not that bleak). Boyle and his 28 Days Later writer Alex Garland seem to be leaning into Britain’s folk horror traditions with this action-horror reboot.
