This supposedly preplanned trilogy became a tangled, bloated, inconsistent blob of inconsequential characters, dead ends, and ludicrously lame lore.

In hindsight, maybe the more muted “28 Years Later” had to walk so the more meaningful “The Bone Temple” could run.

“Primate” has so much self-aware confidence in its go-for-the-throat style that the film wears its B-movie badges proudly.

Compelling performances keep “Hallow Road” swimming as strongly as possible against the strong current of a drowsy pace.
