‘We Bury the Dead’ Review: Ridley Stars in Zombie Drama with Fading Pulse

Daisy Ridley stars as Ava Newman, who joins the Body Retrieval Unit in Woodridge, southern Tasmania to search for her husband Mitch, and the film We Bury the Dead is playing in theaters.
A U.S. military experiment called `the pulse` went wrong, killing many and causing some deceased to hunt, leading authorities to establish quarantine zones and task soldiers with putting down the rising dead.

Set in remote Tasmania, the BRU procedural reframes zombie threats through personal loss, while Ava Newman defies military restrictions by searching for Mitch, heightening mistrust between survivors and the undead.
