‘Burial’ Trailer: Charlotte Vega & Tom Felton Star As Soldiers Taking Hitler’s Remains Back To Russia

In the last days of WWII, a band of Allied soldiers trafficking Hitler’s remains out of Germany are ambushed by Nazi Wehrwolf fighters. That’s the simple, but effective premise for a new IFC Midnight thriller called, “Burial.” Written and directed by British filmmaker Ben Parker, known for “The Chamber” (2016), “Burial” stars Charlotte Vega (“Wrong Turn”), Tom Felton (the “Harry Potter” franchise), and Harriet Walter (“Killing Eve,” “Succession”).

Here’s the official synopsis

Set during the waning days of World War II, Burial tells the fictional story of a small band of Russian soldiers tasked with delivering the crated remains of Hitler back to Stalin in Russia.

En route, the unit is attacked by German “Werewolf” partisans and picked off one by one. An intrepid female intelligence officer leads her surviving comrades in a last stand to ensure their cargo doesn’t fall into the hands of those who would hide the truth forever.

Since Parker’s directorial debut, “The Chamber, the filmmaker’s been a writer and exec producer on Travis Stevens’s horror, “Girl on the Third Floor,” directed a short doc for the anniversary release of “The Dam Busters,” and is currently in development on several TV and feature projects, including a horror feature “The Haunted Ones” with the producers of “His House.” It sounds like if you don’t know Ben Parker as a filmmaker now, “Burial” feels like a good opportunity to get in early on the ground floor.

“Burial” opens in select theaters and On Demand on September 2. Watch the first trailer below.
