Have you noticed how some films don’t just scare you… they stay with you?

Today, I’m joined by director Zak Hilditch, to talk about his new film We Bury The Dead, starring Daisy Ridley.

It’s a zombie film with a twist, one that actually began before Covid, but took on a very different meaning once the world shut down.

We talk about how early Daisy became involved, why certain sounds and moments can be more unsettling than gore, and what he really hopes audiences take away from the film.

This is a fascinating conversation about horror, humanity, and the stories that linger long after the credits roll.
