New Life is a thrilling manhunt of a film with horror sequences that are seemingly inspired by the highpoints of the Resident Evil and The Last of Us franchises. The inclusion of ALS is mostly successful. The film ends up leaving you feeling like you know what director John Rosman was going for, but it doesn’t seem to totally click by the end of the film. With its intensity, and the outstandingly devastating performances of Hayley Erin and Sonya Walger, New Life can be an anxiety inducing ride at times; a horror thriller that is just shy of cinematic excellence.

Amidst the chaos of our intro, we've the shadow of doom presenting itself for us now. Not going to lie, the genuine decency of people when it counts is freaking inspiring, especially in these unsure days we live in. Finally getting flashbacks, I do want to know what got us here, but I'm feeling sad for the main character and her mental well-being. Our pursuing character is very personable, and they allow her to have emotions and her own problems that she must deal with. The virulence of our problem in this film is terrifying, and this is something unheard of in the problem description up to now. You won't believe the incriminating facor in this film, that concern each and every one of us right NOW TODAY.
