Writer-Director Carlo Mirabella-Davis Takes An Unflinching Look Into ‘Swallow’ And Mental Illness

Carlo Mirabella-Davis‘ thriller Swallow (review) is heading towards its March release. I had a chance to review it ahead of time. I found it bold and beautiful, so when I got the chance to interview its writer-director, so I jumped at the chance. On the surface, Hunter (Haley Bennett) appears to have it all. A newly pregnant housewife, she seems content to spend her time tending to an immaculate home and doting on her Ken-doll husband, Richie (Austin Stowell). However, as the pressure to meet her controlling in-laws and husband’s rigid expectations mounts, cracks begin to appear in her carefully created facade. Hunter develops a dangerous habit, and a dark secret from her past seeps out in the form of a disorder called pica – a condition that has her compulsively swallowing inedible, and oftentimes life-threatening, objects.

Blu-ray Review: Mind Games (1989)

The Lund family are exactly one pussy hair from heading straight into a divorce, so what do they do? Cram themselves into an RV and go on a jaunt through every campsite straight through California way. At one such wooded wonder the youngest Lund, Kevin (Matt Norero), encounters a man, Eric (Maxwell Caulfield) messin’ with his flute… surprisingly a real wood wind and not the “skin” variety you may assume.

Small problem, Eric is a complete psycho that loves breaking into people’s homes while they are away and thrashing the place six ways to Sunday… and he uses a combination of threats and charm to get Kevin to join his passion project.
