28 Years Later ‘teaser’ sees Biohazard warning appear at Penshaw Monument

The North East landmark in Wearside turned red…

Just before dawn, a giant biohazard symbol lit up the hillside beneath the silhouetted Penshaw Monument in Sunderland – an unsettling sight that froze early risers and dog walkers in place.

No warning. No explanation. Just the mark.

To fans of the 28 Days Later universe, it’s unmistakable – a chilling emblem of the Rage virus, symbolising outbreak, collapse, and uncontrolled infection.

Whispers are quickly spreading of Rage contaminations across the UK – from the windswept cliffs of Tynemouth to the shadowed depths of Kielder Forest and the ruins of Arbeia Roman Fort. Warnings to “remain vigilant” are surfacing, and the presence of the symbol has ignited fears of a fictional contagion making a very real return.

The stunt ties in with the return to the big screen of 28 Years Later – the film sequel starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes, ahead of its world premiere this coming week.
