Description

Director Laura Moss Attending 4/19.

 

Rose is not a fan of people, but loves working on their dead bodies as a pathologist. Celie is a maternity nurse with a precocious six-year-old. In director Laura Moss’ debut, a stunning riff on Frankenstein, their two worlds collide with terrifying effect.

Rose keeps to herself working in the morgue with an obsession about reanimating the dead. But her theories are just that, until she meets Celie, a maternity nurse whose six-year-old daughter, Lila, is the center of her life. But a tragedy brings these two together, with twisted results. The directorial debut by Laura Moss is thought-provoking and chilling in equal measure. “[A] uniquely thrilling vision of horror...” –Kristy Puchko, Mashable
