Haunting Psychological Horror “birth/rebirth” Streams on Shudder Nov. 10

Directed by Laura Moss Starring Marin Ireland and Judy Reyes Streaming on Shudder Starting Friday, November 10th Watch the Trailer Director Laura Moss is available for select interviews “Motherhood is both mad and monstrous in birth/rebirth, Laura Moss’s ultrasmart, ferociously feminist take on the Frankenstein myth.” – Jeannette Castoulis, The New York Times “A clever, provocative new take on a horror classic is born/reborn. Superbly performed and enjoyably queasy.” – Jessica Kiang, Variety ____ “A showcase for bravura acting [and] a shocking, disturbing and ultimately fascinating debut. Moss presents a provocative existential quandary, and reminds us that horror stories have been women’s stories all along. – Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service Synopsis 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 with such a contemporary understanding that it becomes something exciting, terrifying, and singularly new.
