'Birth/Rebirth' is an entirely new take on the living dead genre. It is so well scripted that it is almost believable.
Dr Rose Casper (Marin Ireland) is a pathologist, and one can't help but notice there is something very cold about this character - almost as if she has no emotion (which effectively ties in with the film's premise). However, she is a brilliant doctor who has been working on the concept of reanimation since she was just six years old.
Celie Morales (Judy Reyes) is a maternity nurse, and single mother. One morning her 5-year old daughter is not feeling well, and she dies later that day. When Celie enquires about the whereabouts of her daughter's body, she notices something very odd about Rose's behaviour.
With all the twists and surprises it is difficult reviewing this film without doing spoilers. From the film's synopsis you'll already know the daughter is being reanimated, but this detailed film has a lot more in store than just another living dead movie. Let's just say Rose and Celie's paths cross due to unusual circumstances surrounding Celie's daughter. 'Birth/Rebirth' is a slow burn descent into the depths of hell. How far would you go to save a loved one?
'Birth/Rebirth' is brilliantly acted. Both leading ladies (Marin and Judy) were so convincing in their respective roles that I won't be surprised if they were to receive Oscar nominations. This is a unique film, but be warned; there are a few very graphic images that might be difficult to stomach.
