Tense Horror ‘New Life’ Get June Digital Release
Vertigo Releasing has announced the UK digital premiere of the fantastic horror thriller New Life, scheduled for June 3rd. The film, directed by newcomer John Rosman, features a compelling cast including Sonya Walger (For All Mankind, Lost), Hayley Erin (Pretty Little Liars: Perfectionists, General Hospital), and Tony Amendola (Rebel Moon Pt I, Annabelle).
New Life follows the intense and thrilling chase of Jess, a mysterious woman desperate to escape her shadowy past by fleeing to Canada. On her trail is Elsa, a resourceful agent grappling with a life-altering medical diagnosis, making her pursuit all the more desperate. Their confrontation draws near in the remote wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, where the chase escalates into a life-or-death struggle for redemption.
The film has already received high praise during its festival circuit run, with screenings at prestigious events like FrightFest and Fantasia. Critics have lauded the film’s direction and performances, with us (Love Horror) giving it a whopping 5 star rating. In addition, it currently holds a 97% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
In the words of our own Darren Gaskell:
Quietly devastating, written with a fierce intelligence and with two scintillating acting talents at its core, New Life is a subtly shattering addition to the genre, perfectly paced and forcing the viewer to constantly re-evaluate their view of this world with each new clue.
Produced by Brainstorm Media, the same team behind acclaimed titles such as Something in the Dirt and The Mortuary Collection, New Life promises to be a genre-bending experience. The film teases apocalyptic stakes as the narratives of Jess and Elsa intertwine, leading to a climactic and harrowing finale.
John Rosman, in his directorial debut, has crafted a narrative that seamlessly melds character-driven drama with the tense pacing of a thriller, enriched with elements of stark horror. New Life not only explores thrilling escapades but also delves deep into the personal crises and redemptions of its protagonists.
