Between The Last Of Us<\/a>, 28 Years Later<\/a>, and the upcoming Daisy Ridley<\/a> horror film We Bury The Dead, Hollywood is experiencing a veritable zombie apocalypse of its own. But while the characters in the Daisy Ridley film actually have time to put bodies six feet underground (a luxury rarely afforded to their compatriots in TLOU and the 28 Days Later franchise), they don\u2019t stay down for long.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a catastrophic American military experiment, resulting in mass casualties across Tasmania, Ava (Ridley) joins a body retrieval unit to help identify the dead and search for her husband on the southern part of the island,\u201d the Zak Hilditch-directed film\u2019s official synopsis reads. \u201cAs Ava makes her way south, across the ravaged landscape, she soon learns that some of the victims of the disaster are coming back to life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The trailer doesn\u2019t give much more away in terms of the film\u2019s plot, but it does conjure an intensely creepy vibe. \u201cThe odd ones that do come back online are docile,\u201d a military commander says in a voice-over as a pink-haired corpse bares its teeth. \u201cI can assure you, you have nothing to fear.\u201d Ava doesn\u2019t seem all that reassured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Ava has a long journey ahead of her (one that involves trudging down an abandoned road with an axe in classic zombie movie-fashion), she\u2019s constantly motivated by the desire to reunite with her husband. \u201cZak has created a unique, terrifying tale about the undead and how far the living will go to reunite with their loved ones,\u201d the Star Wars actor said in a statement, per Gizmodo<\/a>. \u201cI was thrilled to be part of bringing this nightmare to life and I can\u2019t wait to share the movie with the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
