Shudder dropped the trailer for their forthcoming Shudder original ‘Grafted’, which follows a young student whose want to become beautiful and popular takes her to a dark place.
Grafted will premiere exclusively on Shudder on January 24th.
Synopsis: 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.
Jess Hong stars as Wei, alongside Joyena Sun, Jared Turner, Mark Mitchinson, Eden Hart, and others. Grafted is directored by Sasha Rainbow with a script by Lee Murray, Sasha Rainbow, and Mia Maramara.
