Director: Zak Hilditch
Bodies that refuse to stay buried drive the tension in "We Bury the," a 2026 horror-thriller set in the aftermath of a military catastrophe.
What is We Bury the about?
Following a disastrous military operation, the dead do not simply lie still — they rise, and officials rush to calm public fear by insisting the reanimated are slow and harmless. That reassurance offers a sliver of hope to families desperate for any sign their loved ones might still be reachable. Ava is one of them, pushing past checkpoints into a sealed quarantine zone to search for her missing husband. What she finds inside contradicts every official statement: the risen grow faster, angrier, and far more dangerous with each hour that passes, turning her search into a race against a threat the authorities refuse to name honestly. Director Zak Hilditch frames the outbreak less as a monster movie and more as a story about institutional denial colliding with one person's refusal to stop looking, with the quarantine zone itself becoming the film's central pressure point.
Cast & crew
Daisy Ridley leads as Ava, carrying the film's emotional core through a landscape that keeps offering false comfort, with Brenton Thwaites, Mark Coles Smith, and Matt Whelan filling out a cast caught between military reassurance and the escalating truth on the ground.
Context & significance
A co-production between Australia and the United States, the film arrives in 2026 as part of a wave of outbreak thrillers that use official misinformation as the real threat, with the quarantine setting doubling as a comment on how crises get managed and mismanaged in public.
