We first reported Antibirth back in 2014, so it’s pretty exciting that the film is finally going to be reaching audiences in limited theaters and VOD on September 2nd.
For those of you wanting a taste of the film, which was written and directed by Danny Perez and stars Natasha Lyonne, Chloë Sevigny, Meg Tilly and Mark Webber, a trailer has been released that is pure party-induced chaos. After all, who expects some paramilitary badasses to be interested in Lyonne and her forthcoming offspring? Not to mention all the drinking, smoking, and drugs that Lyonne imbibes whilst gestating whatever is inside her uterus.*
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.
The film was produced by Cole Payne, Roger M. Mayer, David Anselmo, Justin Kelly and Lyonne.
