Birth/Rebirth is a 2023 American horror-thriller from director Laura Moss, built around two women pulled into the same impossible experiment.
What is Birth/Rebirth about?
A morgue technician's private research into reanimation succeeds on the body of a young girl, and keeping the child breathing means sourcing biological material from pregnant women in secret. When the girl's mother, a maternity nurse, finds her supposedly dead daughter alive, she is forced into an uneasy partnership with the technician rather than turning her in. What follows is less a chase than a study of two women bound together by grief, guilt, and a procedure neither can fully control. The film leans on body horror to ask a quieter question about how far a parent will go, and what a scientist owes to the person she has brought back.
About the cast
Marin Ireland and Judy Reyes carry the film as the technician and the mother, with support from A.J. Lister, Breeda Wool, Monique Gabriela Curnen, LaChanze, Bryant Carroll, and Rachel Zeiger-Haag rounding out the cast.
Context & significance
Laura Moss directs a horror film that trades jump scares for clinical dread, setting its reanimation premise inside the mundane routines of a hospital and a morgue. The 98-minute runtime keeps the story tight, following its two leads without much detour into subplot. It arrived in 2023 as part of a wave of genre films using body horror to examine motherhood and medical ethics rather than pure shock, and its reception among horror audiences and critics has been generally favorable for a modestly budgeted festival title.
