Daisy Ridley lifts We Bury The Dead on Hulu with 88% score
we bury the dead is now on Hulu, and Daisy Ridley is being described as giving her best performance to date. The horror film’s arrival puts a new streaming audience in front of a title that critics rated 88% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Ridley carries the film after first breaking through as Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and this release gives Hulu a genre title with a clear performance hook. For viewers, the practical shift is simple: the movie is now available in one place, without waiting on a theatrical window.
Ridley beyond Star Wars
Ridley’s screen run after Star Wars has moved through Murder on the Orient Express, The Young Woman and the Sea, The Marsh King's Daughter, and Chaos Walking. That range matters here because We Bury The Dead is being positioned as a stronger showcase than some of those earlier roles, with the performance singled out rather than the premise alone.
The film is described as a new take on the zombie genre, but it was not advertised as a straight zombie movie. That tonal gray area can help a title stand out in streaming, where viewers often decide in seconds whether a horror film looks familiar enough to click or distinctive enough to try.
88% on Rotten Tomatoes
The 88% Rotten Tomatoes score gives the film a second push beyond Ridley’s name recognition. Streaming audiences do not need a festival circuit or box-office history to gauge interest here; the score, combined with the Hulu debut, is the cleanest signal that this is the film’s moment to reach a wider audience.
We Bury The Dead is also described as atmospheric, which fits a release strategy built around mood and performance instead of spectacle. That is the kind of horror title that can travel well on streaming if the lead work lands, and the current framing says Ridley does land.
Ebenezer and Good Samaritan
Ridley already has more on deck, including a new Star Wars sequel, Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, and The Good Samaritan. For viewers deciding whether to press play now, the case is straightforward: Hulu has added a genre film with an 88% score and a lead performance being treated as her strongest yet.
