10 Best Horror Movie Performances Of 2023

6. Marin Ireland & Judy Reyes As Dr. Rose Casper & Celie Morales - Birth/Rebirth

Since the story of Laura Moss' Birth/Rebirth revolves so heavily around the dual lead characters of Rose and Celie, it only felt fair to include both of their actors in this list.

Rose (Marin Ireland) is a doctor obsessed with reanimating corpses, while Celie (Judy Reyes) is a maternity nurse who works tirelessly to give women the best birth possible. When Celie's daughter dies, Rose brings her back to life, but at a terrible cost that her mother must pay.

Word of warning to everyone out there - don't try this at home.

Birth/Rebirth is a new spin on the Frankenstein narrative with a fantastic feminine twist, carried effortlessly by Ireland and Reyes. Ireland keeps the character of the death-obsessed doctor rooted in reality, while Reyes plays up that oh-so-familiar character of a mother desperate to do anything for her child. Together, they make the perfect team.
