We Bury the Dead (2026)

In the wake of a catastrophic military experiment gone wrong, the silence of the morgue is replaced by a terrifying new reality: the dead have begun to stir. The official government narrative remains calm and calculated, assuring a traumatized public that these “Reanimates” are merely biological anomalies—slow, docile, and devoid of intent—offering a fragile hope to those desperate to recover their loved ones. Families are even encouraged to enter controlled processing centers to identify and “lay to rest” their returned kin under the watchful eye of the armed forces.

However, when Ava defies military protocols and slips into a high-security quarantine zone to find her missing husband, she discovers a nightmare far removed from the propaganda. The entities she encounters are not the sluggish shells the military described; they are evolving. Fueled by an inexplicable, primal drive, the undead are becoming faster, more organized, and infinitely more violent. As the sun sets and the containment walls begin to buckle, Ava realizes the military isn’t just managing a disaster—they are hiding the fact that they have lost control of a predatory force that learns, hunts, and grows more lethal with every passing hour. Now, her mission is no longer just about finding her husband; it is a desperate race to escape a zone where the dead are no longer being buried, but are rising to claim the living.
