We Bury the Dead
After a catastrophic military disaster, the dead don't just rise - they hunt. Ava searches for her missing husband, but what she finds is far more terrifying.
Why it matters
A somber and intimate post-apocalyptic horror that uses undead horrors as a lens on grief and survival.
- Daisy Ridley anchors the film with a stoic, deeply felt performance that carries its emotional weight.
- The undead start slow and eerie, evolving into a genuinely unsettling threat—practical effects meet nuanced worldbuilding.
- A rare Tasmanian setting adds fresh atmosphere to the military-disaster zombie subgenre.
- Loses narrative steam in the back half but rewards viewers craving character-driven horror over jump scares.
