“I don’t know what it wants with you, but it can’t be good…” That haunting line from the newly released trailer of the indie horror film Birthrite instantly sends a shiver down your spine. If you’ve ever felt the weight of the intense desire and fear around pregnancy and becoming a parent, this trailer will strike a deep emotional chord. As someone who's passionate about family building journeys — with all their joy and uncertainties — I found this portrayal both chilling and oddly relatable. Curious? Let me explain why.
What’s Birthrite About?
Brainstorm Media just unveiled the official trailer for Birthrite, a film directed by Ross Partridge, scheduled for release this August (check it out here). The story revolves around a terrifying supernatural force obsessed with a baby — more than just wanting it, it needs it. The premise toys with ancient ideas of karmic debt and the dark, sometimes taboo, fears lurking behind the desire to bring new life into this world.
Sounds intense — and it is. But beyond the blood and scares, it reflects something many individuals and couples face quietly: the anxiety, uncertainty, and emotional rollercoaster that come with trying to conceive.
Why This Horror Story Resonates More Than You’d Think
For many of us, the path to parenthood isn't straightforward. Infertility, medical complications, or even simply the yearning for a child can weigh heavily on the heart and mind. That unseen pressure, the sometimes overwhelming feeling that something is trying to take control of your body or your fate — it’s all there in Birthrite’s storyline.
Watching that trailer, I was reminded of the countless conversations with friends and community members who’ve shared their struggles with fertility. The fear of loss, the haunting waiting periods, and the desperate hope to hold a baby one day — it can feel like a psychic battle, a karmic debt we’re trying to repay.
