New Life is about this female name Jessica Murdock that has a a virus called embodia but it's actually called the
Cytomegalovirus (CMV). This can be serious contagious because when one person had it then it can get worse to the next person that'll become the infection themselves. The lead performances by Sonya Walger and Hayley Erin are commendable, bringing depth and nuance to their characters emotional journeys. This is actually John Rosman's directorial debut (first film ever directed) is ambitious, showcasing his ability to twist common tropes into something fresh and engaging. The film adeptly handles themes of adversity, hope, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of life's chaotic elements that doesn't know about the virus until it becomes one. There was only a couple downsize to the rating. Despite its efforts to innovate, the film occasionally falls back on predictable thriller conventions, which may detract from the overall experience for some viewers like dog's death and the ending which we've known that early on why is Jessica carrying the virus and spreading to people that doesn't know they had it. This is a very short movie only 84 minutes and there are moments where the pacing stumbles, particularly in the transition between the thriller and horror elements, which could have been smoother. But if I can think of anything else, "New Life" is a commendable effort that stands out for its strong performances and the director's fresh take on overused tropes. While it may not reinvent the genre, it offers enough intrigue and emotional depth to warrant a watch. The film's exploration of life's unpredictability and the pursuit of redemption is both thought-provoking and entertaining, making it a solid addition to the thriller-horror landscape.
