28 Days Later soundtrack: All the songs in the original film

28 Years Later’s ongoing box office success has sparked renewed curiosity about the original 28 Days Later. This resurgence can be attributed, in part, to its availability on BBC iPlayer.

Twenty-plus years since its initial release in 2002, this movie continues to gain traction among younger audiences, particularly drawn by the hauntingly memorable soundtrack of John Murphy, specifically the renowned piece “In the House – In a Heartbeat,” which has now become an iconic tune.

A significant factor contributing to the recent surge in the film’s popularity is its expanded availability. For quite a while, the movie had been difficult to find, but in late 2024, it was rereleased on prominent digital streaming services.

By making the digital version available at the same time as the 28 Years Later release, Sony enabled long-time fans and newcomers alike to reacquaint themselves with the franchise.

Simultaneously, as the soundtrack for Brad Pitt’s freshly launched sports drama F1 gains popularity, it’s interesting to note that original movie soundtracks are experiencing an unexpected revival. This comeback is being driven by the rise of digital streaming platforms and the re-release of vinyl records.

28 Years Later’s music score not only echoes but intensifies the memory of an unforgettable score for both long-time fans and newcomers. The soundtrack of the apocalypse resonates powerfully, remaining as vivid as ever.

28 Days Later is a chilling post-apocalyptic horror movie based in London. In this story, a contagion known as the ‘Fury virus’ sweeps through rapidly, turning ordinary people into ferocious undead beings.

28 Years After picks up the storyline years following the first epidemic. The movie delves into a world that continues to grapple with the aftermath of the virus, introducing new protagonists who must navigate fresh perils in a transformed yet treacherous environment.
