Hard-drinking, pill-popping, bong-ripping Lou (Natasha Lyonne) and her best friend Sadie (Chloë Sevigny) spend their days adrift in a druggy haze. But one wild night out becomes a bad trip that never ends when Lou wakes up with symptoms of an unexplained, highly abnormal pregnancy. Who—or what—is growing inside her? As her due date approaches with alarming swiftness, the fear, paranoia, and conspiracy theories begin to pile up. Spiked with blasts of hallucinatory color, surreal shocks, and subversive comedy, the audacious feature debut from Danny Perez is a no-holds-barred descent into delirium.
Afterbirth looks like crazy, surreal fun with irreverent humor and bloody body horror. The film promises interesting practical effects and a killer performance by Natasha Lyonne.
Antibirth will be available in select theaters, on VOD, and via digital platforms on September 2nd (Labor Day weekend) from IFC Midnight.
