Rather than relying on the overused tropes of the zombie genre, the film looks set to deliver a smarter and more psychologically layered approach.<\/p>\n<p>The story follows Ava, a woman whose husband has gone missing after a disastrous military experiment. In her desperate search, she joins a so-called &#8220;body retrieval unit,&#8221; tasked with collecting the remains of the fallen. But soon the corpses she buries begin to stir, revealing disturbing signs of life \u2014 and the true horror begins.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the camera sits director Zak Hilditch, best known for These Final Hours. With We Bury the Dead, he aims to tell a more emotionally charged story infused with psychological dread, rather than just gore and spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>The film will receive a limited theatrical release in Australia and New Zealand next week, with a wider rollout scheduled for January next year. Judging by the teaser, We Bury the Dead could breathe new life into a genre that many thought had run out of fresh ideas.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"img-1610993-4688973\" data-fullsize=\"\/media\/89\/_4688973b.png\" data-lazy=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamereactor.euhttps:\/\/www.gamereactor.eu\/media\/89\/_4688973_650x.png\" width=\"650\" onclick=\"if (!window.__cfRLUnblockHandlers) return false; gallery_openmodal('1610993','4688973',false,'b1e895366dfa5d6a2b31a21ecfc5efe3');\" height=\"354\" alt=\"We Bury the Dead\" class=\"rwd_col_content lazy\" data-cf-modified-3119b43bfe8ff95f1cc6d5ce-=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The dead walk again in the new, haunting teaser trailer for the upcoming We Bury the Dead, with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55286,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,409,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-55285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55285"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55285\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
