Hard-drinking, pill-popping, bong-ripping Lou (Natasha Lyonne) and her best friend, Sadie (Chloë Sevigny), spend their days adrift in a druggy haze. But one wild night out becomes a bad trip that never ends when Lou wakes up with symptoms of an unexplained, highly abnormal pregnancy. Who - or what - is growing inside her? As her due date approaches with alarming swiftness, the fear, paranoia, and conspiracy theories begin to pile up. Spiked with blasts of hallucinatory color, surreal shocks, and subversive comedy, the audacious feature debut from Danny Perez is a no-holds-barred descent into delirium. (Monster Pictures)

The Canadian-American film Antibirth is well made for what it sort of promises. The pregnancy of a woman who doesn't want a child but keeps it, but with the overall course being horrifying, gradually building up and with a final revelation so strange that it’s perhaps almost misdirected. Still, you have to admit that it definitely has its moments and at times the film is very uncomfortable. The actors were well chosen.
