We Bury the Dead is an upcoming post-apocalyptic horror drama directed by Zak Hilditch. The film is set in the aftermath of a catastrophic event that wipes out much of humanity. The story follows a woman named Ava, who is trying to adjust to a world where the dead refuse to stay buried. As she searches for meaning, connection, and survival, the line between grief, memory, and horror begins to blur.
Unlike traditional zombie films, We Bury the Dead focuses on loss, trauma, and what it means to keep going when the world has already ended.
