Movie Review: ‘Swallow’ Is Brilliant Film That Makes A Bold Statement

Writer-director Carlo Mirabella-Davis’ Swallow is set to be released on March 6th. I had the opportunity to check it out a little early and I’d like to share my thoughts.

She continued, “Don Mancini, who created Chucky 30 years ago, is the writer on this series, so it’s the original Chucky.
