A new reimagining of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is finally finishing its festival run and coming to theaters near you. birth/rebirth will take a bow on August 18th. Let us dive in for those unfamiliar with the title.
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.
birth/rebirth was directed by Laura Moss. The script was written by: Laura Moss and Brendan J. O’Brien. The movie stars Marin Ireland, Judy Reyes, A.J. Lister, Breeda Wool, Monique Gabriela Curnen, Rina Mejia, Grant Harrison, and LaChanze.

Dread Central‘s Editor-In-Chief, Mary Beth McAndrews, wrote a glowing review of birth/rebirth. However, she specifically highlighted the acting. McAndrews wrote, “The performances from Ireland and Reyes truly take the script to another level. That’s not to say Moss and O’Brien’s script isn’t gorgeous. It’s well-paced and manages to dodge and weave out of falling into predictability due to audience familiarity with the source material. Yet Ireland and Reyes take that and make this not only a horror movie, but a deeply sad tale about desperately trying to reconnect with the dead.”

I was fortunate enough to see this gem at Sundance this year. It’s by far one of my favorite stabs at Frankenstein in forever. Are you one of the lucky few that have already seen birth/rebirth? Then we should geek out about it at @misssharai immediately.
