Danny Boyle’s “28 Years Later” features one of the most heart-stopping chase sequences of the year. In the film, Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and his son Spike (Alfie Williams) have headed to the mainland and already encountered the infected, including the evolved variant known as The Alpha. Alphas are bigger and stronger. One, named Samson, rips his victims’ heads off.
After their hunt-and-kill mission, the two head back home. But their only way back is via the causeway back to Holy Island. The tide is low enough for them. But as they make their way across, The Alpha appears and a chase ensues with Jamie and Spike running for their lives, while The Alpha remains hot on their tails.
Filming took place around Holy Island, Newcastle and North Yorkshire in England, but finding and filming the causeway for the sequence proved to be anything but easy.
