Frankenstein meets Cronenberg in Laura Moss' horror debut, which premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
begins with a harrowing birth scene and then introduces us to the characters who will propel the story: dour pathologist Rose and upbeat nurse Celie . They work at the same hospital but their paths don’t cross until an unimaginable tragedy—the sudden death of Celie’s adorable young daughter, Lila .
Delight turns out to be the reaction Celie settles with, and before long she’s helping Rose keep Lila in the land of the living—drawing on her nursing skills, pilfering medical supplies, and doing whatever it takes to ensure a steady supply of the specific biological tissue necessary for Rose’s miracle serum. Except, don’t call it a “miracle” in front of Rose, who insists her success is due to “good science and hard work over time,” not because of anything supernatural.
