Still/Born
Still/Born follows Mary, a new mother who lost one of her twins in childbirth. As she struggles with the loss of one of her children, she starts to suspect something sinister is after her surviving child – a supernatural entity that has chosen her child and will stop at nothing to take it from her.
Why it matters

- Anchored by a fierce, vulnerable performance from Christie Burke that captures the terror of new motherhood without melodrama.
- Practical effects and subtle sound design ratchet up the creeping unease, favoring atmosphere over cheap scares.
