The Birth
About The Birth
Alone in a filth-ridden apartment, a solitary man consumes a steady diet of toxic internet culture and processed waste. When a breakup text triggers a visceral reaction, the line between the consumer and his filth begins to blur.
Müslüm Emre Alagöz and Saeid Ghasemi directed The Birth, a 2026 fantasy horror film. Its themes are body horror, isolation, short film, and monster.
Abed Elnaggar plays The Young Man. Released in January 2026, it runs 4 minutes.
The screenplay is by Saeid Ghasemi.
Backrooms, The Shining, and The Thing make useful companions to The Birth, all filed under surrealism.
