The first trailer for We Bury The Dead has arrived, giving a tense look at Daisy Ridley’s return to genre filmmaking.
The movie follows Ava, played by Ridley, who sets out to find her missing husband after a catastrophic military disaster. The twist: the dead don’t just rise — they hunt.
A Different Kind of Zombie Story
The trailer sets a bleak tone as Ava navigates a ravaged landscape where the fallen have turned into relentless predators. It leans into suspense over spectacle, focusing on Ava’s desperate search and the emotional fallout of a world collapsing in real time.
Brenton Thwaites (Titans) and Mark Coles Smith co-star, with Zak Hilditch directing. Hilditch previously earned attention for grounded, character-driven thrillers, and We Bury The Dead looks to follow that approach.
Ridley is known for playing Rey in the Disney Star Wars movies.
