Written and directed by Zak Hilditch, WE BURY THE DEAD takes place in a world where a military accident results in a catastrophic accident. After her husband disappears in the carnage, a terrified Ava (Daisy Ridley) joins a ‘body retrieval unit’ in the hopes of finding him alive. However, after the corpses start showing signs of life, Ava must survive the new horrors that stand in her way as she charges into the chaos. In this 1on1, we speak to star Brenton Twaites about why Clay needs a cuddle and what sets this post-apocalyptic world apart.
WE BURY THE DEAD is available in theatres on January 2nd, 2026.
