Secret Movie time and despite thinking it was Primate – Dice landed on We Bury The Dead!
This feature will make for a solid streamer. One of those movies you see raved about on social media with high scores, but honestly, it’s just an okay movie with a unique offering in the zombie genre.
Daisy Ridley plays Ava Newman, a wife on a mission to find her missing husband. After a catastrophic military disaster occurs on the island, Ava joins a military organization of civilian volunteers that bury the dead & maybe uncovers far more than advertised.
Honestly, cut 15 -20 minutes off this movie, and it may have been a fine to good movie. But without getting into spoilers. The ending is rather weak & doesn’t hold well for the writers on this one. Good streamer if you’re looking for something unique in the zombie space, but otherwise a 6/10 Popped score.
It’s neat being able to watch a mystery movie that you’re unaware of what could be until it’s playing on screen. Sometimes that’s a hit. Other times a unique tale was told. But alas we still have Anaconda tomorrow to check out and sometime this weekend – Song Sung Blue / Marty Supreme to wrap up the year of 2025.
Happy Holidays to all fellow moviegoers! I’ll see you in the next batch 😀
Popped!
