With all the very deserved buzz around 28 Years Later<\/a> and its viral, harrowing first trailer – it is only natural there has been a huge surge of people gagging to rewatch Danny Boyle’s genre defining classic from 2002. Or perhaps, god forbid, wanting to experience it for the first time. Trying to imagine the absolute thrill of sitting down in 2024 and witnessing the greatness of that movie for the first time. 28 Days Later is one of the best horror films ever made, bar none – and yet you can’t watch it on any streaming service as of right now and it is no longer being printed on DVD. Physical copies are becoming rare second hand, and sellers are rocketing the price up. Here’s why you can’t catch 28 Days Later on streaming and how you can actually try to watch it in 2024.<\/p>\n

The streaming saga<\/strong><\/h4>\n

28 Days Later hasn’t been seen on streaming services anywhere since 2020. Why? It could all be to do with the licensing and copyright licenses running out. 28 Years Later in the UK is still available to stream on Disney Plus, but 28 Days Later is not. However, there has been an acquisition of the rights to 28 Days Later by Andrew Macdonald – one of the original producers of the film. He bought the rights from Searchlight Pictures (who I believe have all their films on Disney) and it now sits with him and Sony.<\/p>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

If I was to speculate, I reckon 28 Days Later will definitely make a return to streaming before Years hits the cinemas. The people behind the legacy sequel will want maximum sales, and to ensure that they need to make sure everyone’s seen the original film – as many as they can.<\/p>\n

How to watch now<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The only way to legally watch 28 Days Later right now is to get your hands on a physical copy. The only thing is that they are no longer being made – you can’t buy a new 28 Days Later DVD or blu-ray and the secondhand ones are extortionate as owners are noticing their rarity.<\/p>\n

Not that I would ever recommend this, but if one was to search 28 Days Later “full film” somewhere on the internet you might be able to find it – but this is against the law. I did see someone tweeted the full film if you want to search on X, but copyright laws will have that taken down soon.<\/p>\n
