We Bury the Dead follows a desperate woman whose husband is missing in the aftermath of a catastrophic military experiment. Hoping to find him alive, she joins a “body retrieval unit”, but her search takes a chilling turn when the corpses that she’s burying start showing signs of life, which is exactly where this project spiked our attention.
Hilditch is no stranger to intense character pieces set against fascinating and terrifying backdrops, previously directing the critically acclaimed end-of-times film These Final Hours, starring Nathan Phillips, Jessica De Gouw, and Sarah Snook, and the Stephen King adaptation 1922 starring Thomas Jane and Molly Parker. Most recently, Hilditch made the US shot Rattlesnake for Netflix. We Bury the Dead sees him return to his native Western Australia.
Production began in Albany last month and will continue into late March. The film is being produced by Grant Sputore and Kelvin Munro (I Am Mother), alongside Campfire Studios’s Ross Dinerstein and Gramercy Park’s Joshua Harris and Mark Fasano.
