From IFC Films and Shudder comes Birth/Rebirth, the directorial debut of Laura Moss, a new emotional and unnerving spin on Mary Shelley’s iconic tale of Frankenstein.
In the film, “Rose (Marin Ireland) is a pathologist who prefers working with corpses over social interaction. She also has an obsession — the reanimation of the dead. Celie (Judy Reyes) is a maternity nurse who has built her life around her bouncy, chatterbox six-year-old daughter, Lila (A.J. Lister). When Lila suddenly falls ill one tragic night and dies, the two women’s worlds crash into each other. They embark on a dark path of no return, where they will be forced to confront how far they are willing to go to protect what they hold most dear.”
Marin Ireland, Judy Reyes, A.J. Lister, Breeda Wool, Monique Gabriela Curnen, and LaChanze star in the film produced by Mali Elfman, David Grove Churchill Viste. Jordan Barker and Brendan J. O’Brien executive produce.
Birth/Rebirth, which HorrorFuel.com’s Joseph Perry calls a“need-to-see” in his Sundance Spoiler Free Review, will open in theaters on August 18, 2023.
