A brand new take on the classic tale of Frankenstein, birth/rebirth had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival this year, and the official MPA rating has been turned in.
IFC Films’ birth/rebirth has been rated “R” for…
“Disturbing material and gore, some sexual content, language and nudity.”
In the film, directed by Laura Moss, “A morgue technician successfully reanimates the body of a little girl, but to keep her breathing, she will need to harvest biological materials from pregnant women. When the girl’s mother, a nurse, discovers her baby alive, they enter into a deal that forces them both down a dark path of no return.”
Marin Ireland, Judy Reyes, A.J. Lister, and Breeda Wool star in birth/rebirth.
Brendan J. O’Brien wrote the script.
Trace Thurman wrote in his Sundance review for Bloody Disgusting, “birth/rebirth offers a motherly twist on the Frankenstein tale, though Laura Moss and [writer] Brendan J. O’Brien are much more interested in the mad scientists themselves than they are the eponymous creature, making birth/rebirth more of a dramatic character study than an outright horror film.”
Trace adds, “Mothers beware: this is a rough watch.”
birth/rebirth will stream on Shudder later this year.
