REPLACE (full review at The Reel Word)

Replace, from writer-director Norbert Keil and co-writer Richard Stanley (Hardware), is a decent attempt at body horror/sci-fi cross-pollination, with a surprising reveal and a strange, almost ethereal style to it.

After a night out, Kira (Rebecca Forsythe) starts to suffer confusion and memory loss. At the same time she notices a patch of dry, eczema-like skin on her finger. In the hallway of her building she meets her neighbour, Sophia (Lucie Aron), and the two begin a relationship. After suffering a blackout, and with her hand getting worse, Kira visits Dr. Crober (Barbara Crampton) for treatment. Crober prescribes medication, but as Kira soon discovers: her skin can improve if she replaces it with fresh tissue from a living person. In desperation, Kira’s need for transplant flesh pushes her to murder and Replace starts to go a bit Frankenstein, as new parts replace old. Except here, it’s more a case of pre-emptive graverobbing.
