Creator John Rosman has fashioned a movie which, by the time the credits roll, is unforgettable. Literally. The image of a unaware plague carrier being chased by a human bloodhound who, herself, is also hobbled by disease, is one you will carry for years. Nor is that the only image from this amazing film you will be taking home with you. Petting the lost dog, unaware of the consequences. The opening of the door at the 1:00 mark. The fate of the kind couple that simply offered help to a helpless girl. All worth noting. NEW LIFE even allows Rosman to add a new trope to the suspense film-maker's bag of tricks -- for the first Act of the story, the viewer is deliberately kept in the dark as to what is happening, and has to proactively put the pieces together. It was a gamble which could have backfired. But it didn't. Great film. Recommended. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
