Catch it if you can.

When Jessie (Hayley Erin) befriends a stray dog that, unbeknownst to her, has escaped from a laboratory, she becomes an asymptomatic carrier of a deadly ebola-like virus and goes on the run from the authorities. ‘Fixer’ Elsa (Sonya Walger) is hired to track down the girl before the contagion can spread, but finds that her increasingly debilitating medical condition, ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), hinders her progress.

I attended one day at Frightfest 2023 in Leicester Square, my ticket for the main screen on the Friday. It says a lot about the overall quality of the films screened that day that this one was far and away the best (not including the closing film, That’s A Wrap, which I had to miss in order to get home). New Life is by no means a brilliantly original film, tackling a subject that has been done many times before, and it is extremely low-key, but it was entertaining from start to finish, with engaging performances and solid writing and direction from first-time film-maker John Rosman.

Rosman takes a different approach to the familiar subject matter, New Life more of a character-driven piece than an out-and-out horror movie (although there are still a few scenes of yuckiness), and while, on the face of it, the film is a fairly depressing tale in which ‘carrier’ Jessie unknowingly infects anyone kind enough to help her and ultimately has no chance of a happy outcome, it actually carries a surprisingly life-affirming message, Elsa ultimately learning from her quarry to appreciate what time she has left.

Eye of the tiger

No pun intended – I will not delve or rather explain my reasoning for choosing this summary line! If you know the song and watch the movie, you might be able to guess where my head is at. Or rather the head of our main actress! No this is not a boxing film – other than that I would advice you not to read anything about the movie. Go in blind – watch it without any preconception of what this will be .. it is quite worth it! This may be a slow burner, but when it finally gets going, it hits you quite hard (again no pun intended).

That all being said, the actors are amazing in this – considering what they have to go through, the parallels, between our two main characters and where they end up … and what that means .. if it even means anything … is this an open ending we get? Or is it conclusive and I just read something into it? Well you’ll be the judge, but really clever writing and superbly edited. You could argue the movie will be bit mean to you as a viewer … but you can take it … hopefully! And if you can, this will really hit a home run (finally not a boxing pun)

New Life is amazing.

New life was a shockingly good time! Caught a screening during panicfest and it was literally one of my favorite films at the fest! The “shocking reveal” halfway through made my jaw DROP. Parallel stories for both female leads was such a good move here. You really FELT the pain in both characters for different reasons. Filled with great performances, surprises, scares and heart- this film should not be missed! I got to experience a wonderful Q&A with the filmmakers and it was just an amazing experience!

Sonya Walger really really shines here.

Bravo John Rosman! What an intense, thrilling, harrowing experience.
