Pre-Order Your Copy Of ‘Rebirth’ Now

Concept Media, the people who brought you the Don’t F in the Woods franchise, Failing Grace, and Trespassing is proud to announce that they will be exclusively distributing the physical release of the Night of the Living Dead tribute, Rebirth. written and directed by Roger Conners. “What begins as an annual visit to their family gravesite quickly becomes a night of sheer terror as two brothers are unexpectedly forced to fight back against a sudden onslaught of violent assailants. Soon, eight strangers find themselves barricaded inside a rural farmhouse in an attempt to survive against the ever-growing army of murderous creatures outside. But they soon realize the real threat is not what’s trying to get inside… it’s each other.” It’s not so much a remake as it is a modern-day retelling of the ground-breaking masterpiece.
