Promises made at a loved one’s deathbed are meant to be honoured—but in 'Bury Me When I’m Dead', breaking that promise comes at a terrifying cost. Devon Terrell, known for his breakout role in 'Barry' and more recently 'It’s What’s Inside', takes centre stage in this chilling psychological thriller that blends grief, guilt, and ghostly vengeance. The movie is set to hit on-demand platforms on 18th July, with Vertical handling the release.
Directed and written by Seabold Krebs, 'Bury Me When I’m Dead' has already earned praise on the festival circuit for its distinctive narrative style and cinematic nods to genre-defining thrillers. Collider has debuted the exclusive first trailer, giving audiences a glimpse into the film’s unsettling tone, alongside a neon-lit poster spotlighting the central characters trapped in the story’s dark emotional spiral.
What's inside the Trailer?
The trailer kicks off with a seemingly innocent conversation between two friends, Henry (Terrell) and Rebecca (Makenzie Leigh), as they dream up the perfect road trip. The lighthearted tone is shattered in an instant when Rebecca is hit by an ambulance, delivering an unexpected jolt reminiscent of 'Final Destination' and 'The Boys'. From that shocking moment, it’s clear 'Bury Me When I’m Dead' won’t play by the rules—and that Henry’s life is about to unravel.

As the story unfolds, viewers learn that Henry is reeling from the death of his wife, Catherine (Charlotte Hope), who had brain cancer. Her final wish was to be buried in a remote forest near her childhood home. But honouring that request proves far more complicated than expected. Catherine’s father demands her body be returned to the city, and Henry’s secret affair with Rebecca—now pregnant—emerges, compounding his guilt and the tension.
Haunted by grief and the belief that Catherine’s spirit is seeking revenge from beyond the grave, Henry spirals into a psychological breakdown that blurs the line between reality and the supernatural.
