28 Years Later

Running time: 115 mins

Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new "auteur horror" story set in the world created by 28 Days Later. It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well. Contains a sequence of flashing lights which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy

Mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe, he starts to form new bonds with eccentric aliens while discovering who he's truly meant to be.

African Kung Fu Nazis:
Unlike what history books tell us, Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide in his bunker, but he instead fled to West Africa in his submarine. Teaming up with his new right-hand men, the infamous Japanese military leader Hideki Tôjo and the brutal Horse-Man Göring, he plans on conquering the world once again - starting in Ghana. With the might of his loyal although brainwashed Ghan-Aryans and his superhuman karate powers, Hitler destroys the African Kung-Fu school of the shadow snake, killing its leader.

Grieving for his master, Kung-Fu disciple Addae seeks revenge by participating in Hitler's martial arts tournament. Will he find the strength of body and mind to defeat the evil dictator?
