The movie begins with Jamie, an ambitious and successful businesswoman, struggling to cope with the sudden death of her infant daughter, Aubrey. Jamie's husband, Mark, is a ive, but neglectful partner who works long hours at the hospital. Struggling with grief and insomnia, Jamie sets out to find a way to connect with her deceased child, eventually turning to a mysterious doctor, Dr. Evelyn, who specializes in lucid dreaming.

With Dr. Evelyn's help, Jamie learns to enter into vivid dreamscapes that allow her to reconnect with her daughter, even if only in her imagination. But as Jamie delves deeper into her psyche, she begins to encounter dark and threatening forces that seem intent on keeping her trapped in a nightmare world.

As Jamie's dreams race towards a reckoning point, she becomes increasingly erratic and disconnected from reality, causing her husband and friends to worry for her safety. Meanwhile, Dr. Evelyn's true intentions come to light, and Jamie must confront deep-seated traumas in order to reclaim her grip on reality.

To describe New Born as a traditional psychological thriller would be misleading. The movie is far more interested in exploring the human psyche, particularly in its most vulnerable and fractured states. Director Chris Stokes uses stunning dreamscapes and unnerving imagery to create a sense of unease in the viewer, making New Born a deeply unsettling and emotionally draining experience.

Anna Francis delivers a powerful and nuanced performance as Jamie, imbuing the character with a heart-wrenching sense of loss and desperation. Lorynn York and Omar Gooding provide strong as Jamie's best friend and her husband, respectively, but the real standout is James Hong as Dr. Evelyn. Hong expertly walks the line between charismatic and sinister, making the character both alluring and deeply disturbing.

The film's production design and special effects are also noteworthy. The dreamscapes that Jamie enters are lavishly detailed, with each set piece feeling like a unique and fully realized world. The use of practical effects, particularly in the film's climactic sequence, is also impressive and adds to the movie's sense of tactile dread.

Despite its many strengths, New Born is not a film for everyone. Its heavy subject matter and unrelenting sense of unease may prove too much for some viewers, and the dream logic that drives much of the narrative can be frustratingly opaque at times. However, for those who are willing to engage with its challenging themes and imagery, New Born is a fascinating and deeply affecting film.
