Reborn (2018)

I was told to expect the worst from this low budget horror film but in truth i quite enjoyed it.

Set in and around L.A. it stars Barbara Crampton as a struggling actress going from bit part to bit part all bit ignored by her agent, Rae Dawn Chong, who is more interested in a younger more vibrant (but actually far shitter) actress, whose life becomes more complicated when a girl ( Kayleigh Gilbert) shows up on her doorstep who might have been the stillborn daughter she lost sixteen years earlier. Meanwhile local cop Michael Pare is investigating strange murders involving electricity.

Reborn is acted well enough and i always like Crampton in whatever she does. Certainly the SFX are a bit limited and it isn't remotely scary but it is what it is and that's basically a bargain basement riff on Carrie and Firestarter.

Look out for a cameo by a legendary movie director in the final surprising scene.
