After being in production for many years, writer/director Roger Conners’ (Curse of Lilith Ratchet) Rebirth, which is being called "Night of the Living Dead with a twist," has finally been set to begin its theatrical rollout.
Thus far, only two screenings have been announced at the Cedar Lee Theatre in Cleveland Heights, OH. Rebirth will first screen Sunday, October 25th, with a follow-up screening scheduled for Halloween Eve (Friday, October 30th). More screenings are expected to be announced once the coronavirus lessens.
Presented as a modern take on George A. Romero’s 1968 zombie classic, Rebirth utilizes much of the same plot but will tackle the human and political topics the original film is so recognized for, like racism and government control, while interjecting the ideas of homophobia and religious influence on modern society.
"What begins as an annual visit to their family grave-site quickly becomes a night of sheer terror as two brothers are unexpectedly forced to fight back against a sudden onslaught of violent assailants."
"Soon, eight complete strangers find themselves barricaded inside a rural farmhouse in an attempt to survive against the ever-growing army of murderous creatures outside."
Conners stars alongside Lilith Ratchet co-star KateLynn E. Newbury, Aswan Harris (Marauders), Alvin Hudson (Alone), Bradley Michael Arner (Chill: The Killing Games), Taylor Nelms ("Lee Martin’s The Midnight Show"), Benny Benzino (Mother Krampus 2: Sleigh Ride) and Hailey Moltz.
Rebirth also features work by cinematographer Noelle Bye and composer Brett Montez, who both lent their talents to Mother Krampus 2: Sleigh Ride.
