We Bury the Dead Unboxing

We Bury the Dead sees Daisy Ridley stepping boldly into darker, more grounded territory, continuing to signal a clear and confident move away from her blockbuster roots in Star Wars. A dark, understated little chiller that offers a fresh take on the zombie subgenre, the film is fronted by a fantastic performance by Ridley – the sombre film is far more interested in character and setting than mindless zombie mayhem, giving it a heart and soul often missing from the genre. A quietly compelling journey through the apocalypse and another jewel in Ridley’s post-Rey crown.

Synopsis

In the aftermath of a catastrophic military experiment, Ava (Daisy Ridley) joins a “body retrieval unit” in the hopes of finding her missing husband alive. Her search takes a chilling turn when the corpses she’s burying start showing signs of life. We Bury the Dead is written and directed by Zak Hilditch (These Final Hours).

WE BURY THE DEAD is available on Digital, DVD and Blu-ray from Signature Entertainment
