Drama, Horror, Fantasy, Thriller
Haiti, 1962. A man is brought back from the dead only to be sent to the living hell of the sugarcane fields. In Paris, 55 years later, at a prestigious all-girls boarding school, Melissa, a Haitian teenager, confesses an old family secret to a group of new friends – never imagining that this strange tale will convince a heartbroken classmate to do the unthinkable.
A world premiere at the Directors' Fortnight section in Cannes, Bertrand Bonello's ZOMBI CHILD presents an “audacious and cunning” (Little White Lies) new take on classic horror tropes that “poses timely and provocative questions” while “taking us on a journey that’s as intellectually demanding as it is compelling” (Screen Daily).
“A scintillating act of discretion – or, if you are disinclined to trust Bonello, of evasion... fueled by insinuation and fascination.” –The New York Times (Critic's Pick)
DIRECTED BY BERTRAND BONELLO
