Listen to this article Your browser does not support the audio element. Only a few months ago, it probably wouldn’t have been difficult to find plenty of fan reticence about the prospects of 28 Years Later. This is, after all, a new installment in a series that hadn’t had a film since 2007’s 28 Weeks Later, itself not as satisfying (aside from an instantly iconic opening sequence) as Danny Boyle’s groundbreaking 2002 original, 28 Days Later.

It’s fitting, in its way, for a film with such vague aspirations as Daddy to bear a title with this much open-ended ability to interpret, and this little ability to easily look up via a search engine. Attempt to find evidence of directors Neal Kelley and Jono Sherman’s indie sci-fi feature dramedy online, and you’ll run into a plethora of random films named some variation upon “Daddy,” which could easily leave the curious viewer uncertain of how to progress.
