Synopsis
Mary is a woman who is pregnant of twins. But what seemed to be the beginning of a beautiful family ends up turning into a real nightmare. During childbirth, Mary loses one of the babies, having to face a postpartum depression entering a spiral of neurosis. After the tragic event, Mary discovers several stories about a demonic being that feeds on pregnant mothers and newborns, tormenting the fact that this evil entity could be behind her and that it was the real cause of death of her childbirth. The Director Brandon Christensen directs this horror film starring Christie Burke, Jesse Moss, Rebecca Olson, Jenn Griffin and Sheila McCarthy, Sean Rogerson, Dylan Playfair, Praneet Akilla and Pat Chau.

- Screen DailyKim Newman
The narrative strings out ambiguity about whether the monster is real or imagined for most of the film
Read - Los Angeles TimesNoel Murray
Strong actors and lean, unfussy storytelling ought to be more than enough to please genre buffs.
Read - The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck
'Still/Born' works most effectively in its subtler, more enigmatic moments than when it indulges in familiar horror film conventions
