Critics Consensus

Breathing New Life to the genre, this excellently acted brooding horror thriller marks a propitious debut for John Rosman.

Phil Hoad

Guardian

Amid the dumper-truck of post-Covid lockdown-inspired films, very few take disease and pandemics themselves as their central focus. So John Rosman’s stripped-back but effective debut is a sobering flashback to those incubative early days.

Rated: 3/5

Lovers of hard-core horror with elements of science fiction and allusions to body horror, rejoice. [Full review in Spanish]

Bloody Disgusting

It’s not just the complexities of its characters that are compelling, but Rosman’s ability to drop narrative bombs that cataclysmically alter the genre and narrative direction.

Rated: 3.5/5

While the first 15 minutes seem a little too deliberate, once the ball gets rolling and the facts literally spill, Rosman promises a finish you won’t forget any time soon.

Rated: 3.5/5

Rich Cline

Shadows on the Wall

With slick, visual style, writer-director John Rosman skilfully keeps everything grounded, which makes the bonkers craziness and excellent makeup work that much more effective.

It was exciting, intriguing and quite realistic with multiple layers. It felt low budget but it was worth the watch. I'll soon forget it but still..

Stunning. One of those examples of a movie that seems so straightforward and simple but days later you find yourself untangling deeper layers to it. Never seen a film tackle illness as an idea and theme like New Life.

Decently acted but poorly written and directed. A lot of the decisions of the main character and the people following her just didn’t make sense. Seemed much longer than its 85 min runtime. Would not recommend.

If you like zombie movies I guess. It presents as something more serious, or deep, but you'll quickly discover it's not. It is scary enough, so, one star. Some good PSA about ALS, not sure how it ties in with the overall plot though. Everybody says "the less you know the better" well if knowing it's a zombie movie will ruin it for you you're probably better off skipping it, like I wish I had.
