We Bury the Dead Review: Ending Explained, The Zombie Baby Twist & What It Means

Today we’re reviewing We Bury the Dead (2026) (written/directed by Zak Hilditch), starring Daisy Ridley as Ava—a woman who volunteers with a body retrieval unit while searching for her missing husband in a devastated Tasmania.

FULL SPOILERS AHEAD: We discuss the movie’s zombie design, the “cognitive undead” idea we wish the film explored more, what worked (shots, tension spikes, performances), what didn’t (pacing + cliché ramp), and the ending that left us arguing all the way home.

If you watched it too: Were you into the metaphor-heavy approach, or did you want more straight-up zombie survival? Drop your take in the comments.
