We Bury the Dead - DVD

After a U.S. weapons test off Australia's coast caused an EMP pulse that killed half a million, the horror was compounded by a fraction of the stricken returning to life as passive automatons. American Ava (Daisy Ridley), whose husband (Matt Whelan) was in country, signed on for the volunteer cleanup effort-but her bid to find him and closure will turn terrifying as the InchrebootsInch prove less benign than first believed. Thoughtful genre spin from Down Under co-stars Brenton Thwaites, Mark Coles Smith. 94 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

It was a time of ghouls, ghosts and most ghastly of all, the fine art of grave-robbing. Dominic Monaghan of Lord of the Rings and Flash Forward stars as 19th century corpse snatcher Arthur Blake, who pilfered the cemeteries and coffins of England until his capture by police. But just before Blake is to meet the hangman's noose, he will confess to a peculiar priest (Ron Perlman of Hellboy and Sons of Anarchy) his gruesome tale of vampires, zombies and cadaver-dealing that takes him from the savagery of the criminal underworld to the terrors of the undead. Producer Larry Fessenden (Wendigo, the Last Winter) and Angus Scrimm (Phantasm) co-star in this deliriously grisly and hilarious homage to foggy graveyards, bloody mayhem and the golden age of gothic horror.

Los Angeles, 1954. When a washed up detective takes a case searching for a reporter's missing sister, he discovers solving the mystery of her disappearance is the key uncovering the source of the zombie outbreak - and saving the city!
