The latest trailer for the long-awaited sequel 28 Years Later features a hidden code that provides more insight into the movie’s plot for those who are able to solve it. The second full-length trailer for 28 Years Later features a series of grisly and shocking images with the same haunting poem from the first trailer being read off behind any dialogue or action, and while there is slightly more background provided about what the movie’s central plot might focus on, it largely keeps the major story beats and the true roles of its major cast members under wraps.

However, the new trailer is distinct because it actually hides a secret message for those with the wit to see it. In several of the frames building up to the trailer’s climax, there are strange symbols overlaid on the video. There are a total of 11 different symbols that appear in succession, moving across the screen from left to right, as one would read. Internet users were able to decipher the code in short order, as is usually the case, and the secrets that it reveals are fascinating for all those who have eagerly awaited the sequel’s arrival.

How To Crack 28 Years Later’s Secret Trailer Code

The Latest Trailer For The Long-Awaited Sequel Hides A Visual Code

As the trailer unfolds, small white symbols can be found flashing on the screen with accompanying images, all of which are a series of dots and fractured or whole boxes. The small symbols are actually part of what’s called a Pigpen Cipher, or the Freemason’s Cipher, which is a relatively simple geometric subsтιтution cipher. In short, the position and style of the dots and boxes can be subsтιтuted for corresponding letters in the alphabet; if you know which symbol corresponds to each letter, then you can read the message.

The symbols in the 28 Years Later trailer yield a two-word message, which is actually a well-known phrase in Latin that has pervaded art and literature for centuries. The phrase is memento mori, which roughly translates to “remember you will die” in English. It’s a reminder of human mortality, and is often depicted with a skull or an hourglᴀss. Morbid though the language is, the purpose of the phrase is actually meant to be inspirational if interpreted correctly. It’s a reminder to live one’s life with intent and focus on what truly matters, because our time on Earth is limited.

What The 28 Years Later Trailer Code Unlocks & How To Get It

The Code Unlocks A Secret Promotional Website

The phrase that the code reveals is actually the key to unlocking a promotional website for 28 Years Later. If you go to the URL RageLeaks.net, you’ll be confronted with a login screen that already has the username “admin” pre-populated. In the pᴀssword field, typing in the phrase from the trailer, all as one word (“mementomori”) unlocks the rest of the site. Once open, the rudimentary interface shows a countdown timer which, unsurprisingly, is counting down to the movie’s release date. There are also two clickable links under the question “What is really happening behind the blockade?”

The two links are labeled “Surveillance Report: Lindisfarne Commune” which includes images, and “Msg” which contains text. The first link provides what appear to be aerial reconnaissance pH๏τos of the island community that has been shown in both 28 Years Later trailers. The information that accompanies the pH๏τos appears to be an ᴀssessment of the community there. In what appears to be a government-styled report, they are determined to have a low threat level, with a stable social order and, notably, “zero attempts at breaking quarantine.”

Clicking the second link yields a simple yet initially confusing message:

The virus brought us more than the rage.

The sorrow, for our lost home. The guilt, for the ones we left behind. The righteous indignation for the secrets being kept from us.

It’s been almost 28 years since the outbreak. And still, not a single shred of truth about what’s really going on.

They say it’s to protect us. It’s for our own good. After all this time, what are they still hiding?

They classify satellite images. They forbid any communication with survivor communities. They suppress rumors and discredit reports that somehow, the infected have adapted.

They don’t want us to see. But we must bear witness. All of us.

There are two other links below labeled “Life On Patrol” and “Cargo Drones”, but neither link is clickable. It remains to be seen if more content is unlocked in the future, but for now only the first two items reveal anything new.

What 28 Years Later’s Code & Bonus Content Reveals About The Movie

The Content Provides Clues About The Movie’s Plot

The code itself clearly aligns with the theme of a ticking clock that has been present in both trailers, with the implication that time is running out for someone–whether it’s the people still alive in Great Britain or humanity in general. The fact that the images reveal aerial pH๏τos is a callback to the very end of 28 Days Later, in which Jim, Selena, and Hannah are trying to hail a jet plane that circles overhead routinely. It would appear that even 28 years later, the people of the UK are being watched by parties unknown.

The report is significant in that it reveals that the people of Great Britain are in fact under quarantine. The written message further elaborates on a greater conspiracy than simply keeping the infected contained to one small island. Whoever typed the message understands that information is being withheld about the nature of the quarantine, what’s happening to those who have survived this long, and the very nature of Infection itself. There is clearly more mystery to be unraveled, but 28 Years Later‘s secret trailer code is a significant step towards enlightenment.
