Trailer for the Dark and Disturbing Horror Thriller BIRTH/REBIRTH
IFC Films has released a trailer for a super dark and shocking horror movie titled Birth/Rebirth. I had a chance to watch this movie and Sundance earlier this year, and it told a seriously sinister story and was jacked-up. The film focuses on bringing a little girl back to life after she died and the consequences that follow.
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 one tragic night, Lila suddenly falls ill 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.”
In Corrin’s review of the film, she said: “As you can probably guess, there is a lot of blood, needles, and medical procedures in this movie. While light on jump scares, there is plenty of Cronenberg-esque body horror to keep you on the edge of your seat (or with your face buried in your hands.)”
The movie comes from director Laura Moss, who “reimagines Mary Shelley’s classic horror myth Frankenstein with such a contemporary understanding that it becomes something exciting, terrifying, and singularly new.”
The movie will be released on August 18th.
