Daisy Ridley's 'We Bury the Dead' Offers Fresh Twists on Zombie Horror

We Bury the Dead is a contemplative zombie film featuring Daisy Ridley as a woman mourning her husband's death after a catastrophic accident, with the undead treated more as a curiosity than a threat. The film explores themes of grief and loss, set against a backdrop of a post-apocalyptic Tasmania, and is noted for its visual storytelling rather than traditional horror or gore. While it offers some effective moments and emotional depth, it ultimately feels familiar and somewhat underwhelming in its final act.

"Unwatchable Whimsy: The Cast and Performances of 'Lisa Frankenstein' Reviewed"

"Lisa Frankenstein" is a forgettable and regrettable teen comedy starring Kathryn Newton as a high school misfit who befriends a reanimated corpse. The film, set in 1989, is filled with nods to the time period and features a soundtrack of synth-pop one-hit wonders. However, the screenplay, written by Diablo Cody, is criticized for its unfunny humor and dated approach to feminism. Despite some stylized sequences, the movie is deemed gratingly self-amused and lazy, lacking the cult potential of Cody's previous work "Jennifer's Body."

"Lisa Frankenstein: A Fearless Corpse Comedy That Will Make You Miss Tim Burton"

"Lisa Frankenstein" is a flat-lining comedy about an Eighties Goth misfit meeting the zombie of her dreams, attempting to be a pitch-black satire with a taste for the ghoulish and an era-appropriate Goth soundtrack. Despite the well-intentioned mix of horror and comedy, the film fails to deliver on its potential, with disjointed storytelling, lack of direction, and performances that struggle to elevate the messy onscreen happenings. Ultimately, it falls short of capturing the unique sensibility of filmmakers like Tim Burton, leaving audiences longing for the magic of cult classics like "Heathers" and "Edward Scissorhands."
