Burying the Ex

• Horror

A darkly comedic horror film, *Burying the Ex* navigates the excruciating awkwardness of a breakup amplified by the utterly inconvenient resurrection of an ex-girlfriend as a zombie. More than a simple undead romp, the story centers on Max’s desperate attempts to balance a burgeoning new relationship with Evelyn’s stubbornly persistent, and increasingly gruesome, efforts to win him back. The film derives its humor not from jump scares, but from the painfully relatable anxieties of modern dating—the fear of commitment, the struggle to communicate, and the sheer terror of an overly attached partner – all twisted through the lens of a flesh-eating, eco-conscious zombie with a penchant for ice cream. It’s a surprisingly sweet, albeit macabre, exploration of moving on and accepting the messy realities of love and loss, even after death.
