The body-horror, or more accurately face-horror, film is heading for release in Australia and beyond.
GRAFTED, which had its European premiere at Sitges, its Down Under debut at Monster Fest and its North American premiere this week at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, will open in Australian theaters November 21 from (YET) Another Monster Company in collaboration with Monster Pictures Distribution. U.S. distribution has yet to be announced, though Shudder was one of the backers so it’s likely they’ll be handling it in the States. The feature directorial debut of BAFTA-nominated Sasha Rainbow, the film was written by Mia Maramara, Hweiling Ow, Lee Murray and Rainbow. Joyena Sun, Jess Hong, Eden Hart, Jared Turner, Mark Mitchinson, Sepi To’a and Ginette McDonald star; the synopsis: “GRAFTED tells the story of a shy though brilliant student, Wei [Sun], who while continuing her deceased father’s scientific work, finds a way to achieve the popularity she desperately craves, one bloody body at a time.”
The poster for the Aussie release seen below was refused classification in New Zealand. We’ll keep you posted on when GRAFTED will appear in America.
