28 Years Later: The Bone Temple director teases the sequel's most "horrifying" scene involving Jack O'Connell's bizarre cult leader: "It really is inhumane"

Jack O'Connell and the Jimmies in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.

Get ready horror fans, as upcoming sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple may be even more terrifying than its predecessor, and it's all thanks to Jack O'Connell's bizarre cult leader Jimmy Crystal and his gang of Jimmys.

"I mean, they are satanists essentially," said director Nia DaCosta of the Jimmys, in an interview with Bloody Disgusting. "They believe in charity, which is what they call it, and cruelty, and it really is inhumane." The filmmaker, who has taken over from 28 Years Later director Danny Boyle, says the cult is in stark contrast to Ralph Fiennes's "humanist character" Dr. Kelson. "For me, the balance of those two things is super important."
