🧟♂️ A unique zombie movie, in this economy??? From director Zak Hilditch (THESE FINAL HOURS) comes a harrowing new take on the end of the world. Starring Daisy Ridley, WE BURY THE DEAD is a cathartic pre-apocalyptic journey through grime and grief as beautiful as it is haunting.

If you see people having fun discussing horror movies, don't do this. It's not witty. It's not helpful, and it's certainly not original. At best, it's INCREDIBLY annoying, and at worst, it sounds like you're shaming someone for daring to not think about politics 24/7. Either way, you're an asshole.
