Grafted, the upcoming beauty-based body horror from director Sasha Rainbow, gets a gory new trailer from Shudder ahead of its January 24, 2025 release date.
Starring Joyena Sun, Jess Hong, Eden Hart, Jared Turner, Sepi To'a and Xiao Hu, Grafted follows:
Chinese scholarship student Wei travels to New Zealand to study medical research at a prestigious university. Shy, introverted, and hiding a genetic facial birthmark, Wei is shunned by her social butterfly cousin Angela and her glamorous friends.
Determined to change her fate, Wei immerses herself in her late father's research, working on a revolutionary skin grafting procedure that could cure her deformity. As her experiments take a dark turn, she becomes more dangerous and unhinged, willing to eliminate anyone who threatens her secret.
Alongside Rainbow, Grafted was written by Mia Maramara, Hweiling Ow and Lee Murray.
In a previous statement, Rainbow expressed her excitement for her directorial debut heading to the horror streaming giant:
Partnering with Shudder is a dream come true—for those of us who like our dreams dark and full of twists, and there’s no better place to unleash Grafted than with the curators of terror themselves. I can’t wait for their fearless audience to sink their teeth into this one and experience Wei’s wild and bloody pursuit of perfection.
Check out the new trailer for Grafted below and don't miss it on Shudder, January 24.
