Why it’s HorroRated

We Bury the Dead is folk horror built around communal ritual and the specific horror of doing things differently than the tradition demands. The film treats its community with the seriousness the best folk horror brings to its subject and the consequences of deviation are handled with real conviction. An original and unsettling film.
