28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

28 Years Later continues with the second part of this story, picking up where the anticlimactic ending left off.

Nia DaCosta is directing the sequel, titled "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple", which features Ralph Fiennes (known for the "Harry Potter" and "James Bond" series), Alfie Wlliams, Jack O'Connell, and others. This film picks up just moments after the gripping ending of the first installment. In "The Bone Temple", viewers learn that the infected, as Dr. Kelson (played by Fiennes) indicates, are no longer the greatest threat to survival.

For whatever reason, this sequel is even more grueling and terrifying than the previous film. It is the must-watch horror movie of the season. Those who enjoyed the first part last year can eagerly anticipate this unforgiving continuation, where "fear is the new faith."

With such terror, carnage, and drama blended into one, this continuation of 28 Years Later is a horror movie at its peak, just like the rest of the 28 Days Later series.

KGM Musso (Q300)

Korea's first pickup truck, the Musso, is now in its third generation. This all-new model promises to be as tough and dependable as its ancestors.

Starting at 29.90 million Korean Won plus additional costs, the all-new Musso is more affordable to own than the Kia Tasman and the Chevrolet Colorado, making it the true bargain off-roader Koreans will gladly spend their Won on. The question is, is the all-new Musso worth it?

2026 KGM Musso

Beginning with the styling, the front of the Musso is like a mashup between the Ford F-150's headlamps and the illuminated grille from the GMC Hummer EV. Despite the questionable front view, the robust and macho styling gives this pickup a physical presence and a tendency to flex its muscles everywhere. The same goes for the more muscular Musso Grand Style variant as well.

The Musso is offered with a choice of two body styles: the Standard Deck, featuring 1,011 litres of bed space, and the Long Deck, which replaces the Khan from the previous model, offering up to 1,262 litres of boot space.

In contrast to its macho exterior, the luxurious interior features a 12.3-inch digital cluster and a touch screen powered by the Athena 3.0 GUI, a dual-type climate control, 32-colour ambient lighting, suede quilting on the dashboard, and two different centre consoles. The petrol variant features an improved centre console space, while the diesel variant features a lever-type gear knob. As a five-seater, the rear legroom is somewhat regular for pickup standards, but it should be good enough for everyday life.

The all-new Musso is powered by two engine choices. The 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to an AISIN 8-speed automatic transmission produces 217PS of power, 38.7kgf-m of torque, and 8.6km/L of fuel economy. The 2.2-litre diesel engine mated to an AISIN 6-speed automatic, meanwhile, produces 202PS of power, 45kgf-m of torque, and 10.1km/L of fuel economy. Both of these engines can give the Musso a three-ton towing capacity. Both of them are packed with the differential locking device and the available 4TRONIC system with various settings that surely come in handy in case of tarmac, gravel, or snow. When Sandping comes knocking on your door, 4TRONIC's coming in handy.

The all-new Musso features two suspension choices. Those who love off-roading should go for the one with the five-link dynamic suspension with up to 500kg load capacity, while those who are running businesses should consider the one with the Power Lift Suspension that grants them up to 700kg of maximum load capacity.

Although taking pride in its ultra-high-strength quadruple-structure frame body, the all-new Musso is packed with the DeepControl suite of ADAS, Electronic Stability Program, and 3D Around & Clear Sight View, among others.

Being the offroader that placed South Korea in the pickup wars for the past 25 years, the all-new Musso continues the legacy with new and promising features worthy of bearing the legendary Musso name. This new-generation Korean-made pickup truck is more than ready to tackle not just its home base, but also the Belt & Road Initiative. KGM is on a roll now.

Available Colours: Ultra Marine, Space Black, Smoke Taupe, Sandstone Beige, Marble Grey, Grand White, and Amazonia Green.
