Horror guru Brian Yuzna (“Re-Animator,” “Society”) will be hosting a special screening of the Barbara Crampton-starring supernatural horror flick “Reborn” on Saturday, September 14th at 11:45 pm at Hollywood’s Arena Cinelounge.
Directed by Julian Richards (“The Last Horror Movie”), “Reborn” was filmed on location in Hollywood and also stars Michael Pare, Chaz Bono, Rae Dawn Chong, Monte Markham and Kayleigh Gilbert in a contemporary Frankenstein story about a stillborn baby girl brought back to life by an electrical storm before being abducted from hospital by a morgue attendant. On her sixteenth birthday, empowered with the gift to manipulate electricity, she escapes her captor and sets out to find her birth mother leaving a trail of destruction behind her.
A nostalgic celebration of classic paranormal horror, “Reborn” has been selected to screen at over 40 festivals worldwide and has won several awards including Best Sci-Fi Feature at Another Hole In The Head, Best Horror Feature at Mad Monster Party and Best Director at Fantasporto. Critics are united in their praise for “Reborn” which Surgeons Of Horror describe as “a stunning modern twist on ’70s and ’80s horror classics like ‘Carrie,’ ‘Firestarter,’ and ‘The Fury’” and Morbidly Beautiful describe as “A compelling, emotional roller-coaster about loss and vengeance.”
This special movie night event is a theatrical pre-view to Vertical Entertainment’s DVD, Digital and On-Demand release on September 17th.
So, LA genre fans, mark your calendar for September 14th, come see “Reborn” and meet the legendary Brian Yuzna at Arena Cinelounge (6464 Sunset Boulevard; 323-924-1644).
