The horror genre's current renaissance is showing no signs of slowing down, to the joy of fans like me. Some of the best horror movies have returned to theaters with new sequels, such as the two recent 28 Years Later films. The latest of which was Nia DaCosta's The Bone Temple, which hasn't been performing at the box office. And this isn't the first time that moviegoers have failed the filmmaker, despite the quality of the projects themselves.
CinemaBlend's 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple review was glowing, and indeed that was the sentiment from most critics. And while audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is also positive, unfortunately it hasn't been making money in theaters. This follows The Marvels bombing at the box office, and I have to wonder: why do folks keep sleeping on DaCosta's movies?
