Marin Ireland and Judy Reyes lead the cast of filmmaker Laura Moss’ new film birth/ rebirth which is set for a debut on screens very soon with IFC Films and Shudder releasing the film stateside on 18th August.
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.
This standout directorial debut from Laura Moss reimagines Mary Shelley’s classic horror myth Frankenstein and has some excellent word of mouth from festival screenings. I hope this reaches UK shores soon.
Here’s the new trailer.
