Shudder has released a new trailer for Sasha Rainbow’s feature debut Grafted, a malicious cosmetic cocktail of body horror with squelching sounds to enhance the horror.
Grafted is set to premiere on Shudder 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 body horror movie stars Joyena Sun, Jess Hong, and Jared Turner. It was written by Mia Maramara, Hweiling Ow, Lee Murray, and Rainbow.
Daniel Kurland called Grafted in his review “a malicious cosmetic cocktail that’s two parts body horror and one part Mean Girls 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 loo
“Sasha Rainbow’s bold and brave work in her short form and documentary work has transitioned seamlessly into her impressive debut feature,“k 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 horror genre a necessary facelift.”
