Critics Consensus

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

Read Critics Reviews

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]

Meagan Navarro

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

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.

Rated: 4/5

Terry Sherwood

Film Threat

New Life entertains with fast-moving shooting action, creepy screaming creatures, ample guts, and moments of profound humanity.

Rated: 7/10

While New Life holds few pleasures as it twists and convulses into new genres, it excels at glimpses of terror and jaded job execution.

Very good, reminded me a bit of Romero's The Crazies, but a very good take on it.

This movie is so boring. All the actors are terrible. If somebody was really that infected, they would send a whole team to get her. They sending one sick lady.

What a flick! I was locked in from beginning to end. I don’t know how this didn’t make it to theaters. Might be the best movie I’ve seen since pre 2020

Brief, featuring some great cinematography and continuously outflanking the audience. New life defies predictably with a twisting plot that never fails to suprise right up to its final few minutes.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
