Antibirth — Trailer

added: Thu, Aug 4th '16

"Orange Is the New Black" star Natasha Lyonne has a very strange pregnancy in the trailer for the twisted horror flick "Antibirth."

Also starring Chloe Sevigny, and Mark Webber, with a surprise co-starring appearance from Meg Tilly, the film tells the psychedelic story of a hopeless trainwreck (Lyonne), who wakes up from a night of partying, only to later realize she has been impregnated. Weeks go by, and she begins to experience some of the weirdest pregnancy symptoms in history as her unborn baby starts to infect her brain with nightmarish visions.

Written and directed by music video director and experimental artist Danny Perez, "Antibirth" made an impression when it premiered at Sundance's Midnight section earlier this year. The film is now getting a theatrical and VOD release on September 2.

synopsis:
Hard-drinking, pill-popping, bong-ripping Lou (Natasha Lyonne) and her best friend Sadie (Chloe 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.
