Summary
Set nearly three decades after the Rage Virus outbreak devastated the UK, 28 Years Later follows a family living on an isolated island quarantine. When their 12‑year‑old son Spike joins his father Jamie to venture onto the infected mainland to find a doctor for his ailing mother Isla, they uncover evolved threats—from mutated infected packs to sinister human cults. The film blends visceral horror with emotional resilience and philosophical undertones, culminating in an ambiguous, world-expanding conclusion.

I watched it yesterday. I thought Isla killing the fat guy made sense. Those guys seem pretty pathetic and she does have random bouts of lucidity throughout the film.
My assumption on the alpha was that it was trying to track it’s baby all along so it kinda makes sense that at would do something it wouldn’t normally do.
