Compared to Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance and the wild works of Takashi Miike by Daniel Kurland in his recent review for Bloody Disgusting, Sasha Rainbow’s feature debut Grafted has received an official trailer from its Australian distributor this week. Over in Australia, the film will release in cinemas on November 21, and you can find that official trailer below.
Here in the States, the body horror movie has been acquired by Shudder for North America, UK, and Irish release, and Shudder has dated Grafted for premiere on January 24, 2025.
In the film, “Chinese scholarship student Wei travels to New Zealand to study medical research at a prestigious university. Shy, introverted, and hiding a genetic facial birthmark, Wei is shunned by her social butterfly cousin Angela and her glamorous friends.
“Determined to change her fate, Wei immerses herself in her late father’s research, working on a revolutionary skin grafting procedure that could cure her deformity.
“As her experiments take a dark turn, she becomes more dangerous and unhinged, willing to eliminate anyone who threatens her secret.”
The upcoming horror movie stars Joyena Sun, Jess Hong, and Jared Turner. Grafted was written by Mia Maramara, Hweiling Ow, Lee Murray, and Sasha Rainbow.
Daniel Kurland raves in his aforementioned review, “Grafted is a malicious cosmetic cocktail that deserves to be seen and celebrated. Sasha Rainbow creates a moving, universal experience through the desperate characters and vicious premise. Rainbow is definitely someone to look out for and a filmmaker who will hopefully continue to disrupt the status quo through grisly stories that push the audience’s buttons and give the genre a necessary facelift.”
