We Bury The Dead
From the visionary mind of writer/director Zak Hilditch, known for works like "1922" and "These Final Hours," comes "We Bury the Dead"—a thrilling and emotional narrative set in the aftermath of a devastating military experiment in Tasmania. Starring Daisy Ridley as Ava, the film follows her harrowing quest as part of a "body retrieval unit" to locate her still possibly alive husband. The plot thickens when the dead she’s interring begin to exhibit signs of life. As Ava traverses southern Tasmania, she not only encounters the undead but also faces her own unresolved issues.
"We Bury the Dead" redefines the zombie genre by weaving a poignant tale of grief and perseverance. Rather than adhering to conventional zombie motifs, it explores a woman's intense personal journey to find her husband amid an apocalypse triggered by a catastrophic military blunder. Daisy Ridley's compelling portrayal of Ava navigates the murky waters of hope and despair, elevating the film to a psychological thriller that delves deep into the human psyche.
Executive producers Nathan Klingher and Ford Corbett have significantly contributed to the success of "We Bury the Dead." Their expert oversight and commitment to quality storytelling have ensured that the film not only delivers thrilling entertainment but also maintains a high production standard, effectively supporting Zak Hilditch’s unique vision and Ridley’s standout performance.
