<I>We Bury the Dead</i> gives off <I>28 Days Later</i> vibes, but our zombies here, due to a military disaster, are not fast-moving nor do they infect others. It has a solid story with developing characters, and provides a tense atmosphere for them as they're tasked with labeling dead bodies across a designated area, but it leaves us viewers hanging for more when the end credits appear.
<B>Final Thoughts</b>
The cinematography is great, but it wouldn't hurt to showcase the (living) dead more so that we can grasp their intent and potential growth in a post-disaster world.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grim descent into nightmare as the landscape itself becomes hostile and the work of burying the dead refuses to stay finished. This is survival horror stripped of hope, where the search for one person drags you deeper into a hell without exit.
