- Rigpřed 4 dnyAtmospheric zombie film. No real jump scares or cheap thrills. The processing of grief somehow imparts a mundane feeling to a zombie film, not in a bad way, but it's a common trope fully explored through zombies atp. Didn't really have anything new to say in that regard but decently executed.
- Dan Hernandez30. března 2026This film was more about grief and guilt more than zombies—I guess I liked it though. The zombie just standing in the dark garage freaked me out so much. Very unsettling.
- eyeofthetornado8. února 2026We Bury the Dead understands something most zombie movies are too busy running from: the undead aren’t the point. What’s dead is. This is a zombie film built on the quiet grief of relationships we refuse to properly mourn. The monsters arrive not as a shock, but as a consequence what happens when loss is ignored, postponed, or politely looked away from. These zombies feel less like invaders and more like reminders, walking proof that what you don’t bury follows you. At its core, the film is a dramatic romance about healing after emotional death. Love here isn’t heroic or loud; it’s fragile, hesitant, and bruised by avoidance. The characters don’t fight the apocalypse so much as they negotiate with their own denial. Closing your eyes doesn’t stop the decay it just gives it time to rot. There’s a tenderness in how the film treats survival. Healing isn’t presented as victory, but as an act of courage: choosing to look directly at what’s already gone and finally saying goodbye. The romance grows not from hope, but from honesty two people learning that connection requires acknowledging the endings that shaped them. We Bury the Dead is less about killing zombies and more about laying the past to rest. It’s a reminder that ungrieved love lingers, and that sometimes the only way forward is to dig, face what you’ve lost, and bury it with care.
- DavChar29. března 2026This movie was so slow. It just took forever to get going, and then would slow down again. I don't really like zombie movies, but this wasn't even remotely scary, and the zombies were few and far between.
- cmartino19673. února 2026An interesting take on the zombie genre. Worth a watch.
- GrimeFiVideo14. ledna 2026A slow-burn zombie flick that explores loss, grief, and regret. The movie looks beautiful and builds an atmosphere that feels uncomfortably believable.
- Eric Widder28. března 2026I guess the people that shit all over this movie were expecting your run of the mill zombie movie and then got bummed that it wasn't. What sticks out most is the incredible soundtrack. The choice in music gives the plot an ethereal and thought provoking mood from beginning to end. The meat of the story involves the journey of the main character (played by Daisy Ridley) attempting to reach her husband, and by the end of that journey she evolves as a person and finds redemption from an unexpected, random happening that serves at a proper ending to the film. The entirety of the zombies as a whole takes a backseat to everything else in the film and instead focuses on themes of empathy, hope, denial, courage, redemption, and resolution, and for me, that made it kind of cool. This probably isn't a movie I'd watch a 3rd time, but I enjoyed it. It was different, and in a world where films range from mediocre to mundane to downright predictable and lazy... different is a welcome relief.
- Brian Factunt20. března 2026pretty good why is she walking so much though if everybody died instantly every car she walked by is fine? stop walking? 2.5 stars
- Shaydeknight20. března 2026We Bury the Dead is built around mood and reflection rather than momentum, which immediately invites comparison to films like 28 Days Later. The focus is less on threat and survival, and more on grief, loss, and the unresolved ties between the living and the dead. It's a valid direction, but it places a heavier burden on tone and performance. Daisy Ridley effortlessly carries most of that weight. She has range beyond Star Wars, thank goodness, but the film leans on her emotional availability a little too heavily. There's a sense that it expects feeling to come from performance alone, rather than from the structure of the story. Repetition sets in, and what should feel cumulative instead starts to feel insistent. The pacing doesn't help. This is not a case of deliberate, measured rhythm, it simply moves too slowly without enough variation or escalation to justify it. Scenes drag on a bit too much, the camera stays on close-ups a little too long. The cumulative result is a film that feels stretched rather than controlled. There are moments that work. Certain interactions hint at a more grounded, less sentimental approach to the material. But too often the film slips into something more melodramatic, even saccharine. It gestures toward genuine emotional depth, but the feeling seem manufactured. Further, the protagonist's resolution is ultimately predictable, so no big surprises, either. In the end, the problem isn't ambition but execution. The film knows the space it wants to occupy but it never quite gets there. It's a decent little art-house take on zombies, though.
- social_assassin19. března 2026It has some interesting concepts. But unfortunately, the execution is not great. Ridley delivers her usual strong performance, yet she can only elevate the material to a certain extent, before it becomes clear the script lacks any real substance.
- mattatlucidcat5. února 2026Mediocre,
- HollowOut7. března 2026Snooze-fest. This movie could have been such a neat twist on a normal zombie movie. Instead, it tries to take you for a ride on the feels-train, but falls short. Also, Daisy Ridley's American accent is atrocious. Might be worth it to watch it just for that. Save yourself a watch and let me carry that burden for you.
- a.kirk16. března 2026Good, low stakes zombie flick. Nice soundtrack.
- Richad26. února 2026I think it was categorised incorrectly. It should be in Romance/Drama. The Zombies occupied 10 minutes of screen time. The rest was comprised of flashbacks and relationship drama. If I want to watch that sort of rubbish I get movies in that category. Waste of 1 hours and 30 minutes. Can I have my time back?
