“We Bury The Dead” is a zombie-survival thriller written and directed by Zak Hilditch, starring Daisy Ridley as a desperate woman searching for her husband in the aftermath of a catastrophic military experiment. Hoping to find him alive, Ava joins a “body retrieval unit,” but her search takes a chilling turn when the corpses she’s burying start showing signs of life. The film had its world premiere at the 2025 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival and received positive reviews for its premise and Ridley’s performance. Ridley was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her work and experience making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Vertical Entertainment. Thank you, and enjoy!
