We Bury the Dead Ratings & Reviews
- Timeless Cinema−17 hWe Bury the Dead goes in and out of greatness. It has a decent character driven story that touches on some great points about life. It just needs to get there sooner and execute things better.
- Spyder202014 februari 2026My teeth hurt
- cyberbillp−21 hSad, sorta depressing, not so much a zombie movie. It kept me engrossed until the final frame.
- Rig−5 dAtmospheric 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.
- eyeofthetornado8 februari 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.
- cmartino19673 februari 2026An interesting take on the zombie genre. Worth a watch.
- Dan Hernandez30 mars 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.
- DavChar29 mars 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.
- Eric Widder28 mars 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 mars 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 mars 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 mars 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.
- a.kirk16 mars 2026Good, low stakes zombie flick. Nice soundtrack.
- GrimeFiVideo14 januari 2026A slow-burn zombie flick that explores loss, grief, and regret. The movie looks beautiful and builds an atmosphere that feels uncomfortably believable.
- Scott Smith13 mars 2026More of a melancholy zombie drama about loss, regrets, and closure. Not an action zombie horror movie, although there are a couple creepy and violent moments. It takes place on Tasmania island off of Australia. It was an OK watch with good acting. But if you want a scary or action-packed zombie flick, this is not it. I liked this, but would never need to watch it again.
