Shudder’s latest dive into beauty and body horror, Grafted, is set to hit the streaming platform on January 24th. Along with the release date, Shudder unveiled a striking new poster, serving as a chilling reminder that “beauty is only skin deep.”
Directed by Sasha Rainbow, Grafted tells the story of Wei, a shy and introverted Chinese scholarship student who moves to New Zealand to study medical research at a prestigious university. Hiding a genetic facial birthmark, Wei is ostracized by her social butterfly cousin Angela and her glamorous circle of friends.
Desperate to change her fate, Wei delves into her late father’s groundbreaking research on a radical skin grafting procedure. But as her experiments spiral out of control, Wei becomes increasingly unhinged, stopping at nothing to protect her dark secret—even if it means eliminating anyone who stands in her way.
The film features an ensemble cast including Joyena Sun, Jess Hong, Eden Hart, Jared Turner, Sepi To’a, and Xiao Hu. Written by Sasha Rainbow, Mia Maramara, Hweiling Ow, and Lee Murray, Grafted promises to deliver an unsettling exploration of beauty, rejection, and obsession.
Check out the new poster and stay tuned for more updates on Grafted as the release date approaches.
