Movie Review: Replace (2017)

Kira Mabon (Rebecca Forsythe), has a lot on her mind; such as worrying about growing old, and wondering just where in the unholy fuck she is after waking up from a one night stand in some rando apartment that everyone tells her is her long-time residence. What the actual fuck gives? Adding to her static is a neighbor (Lucie Aron) who professes her love for our heroine while trying to help her make sense of her newfound existence, and a Dr. Crober (genre legend Barbara “Re-Animator” Crampton) who treats her skin condition (think excessive peeling)… not that Kira can remember jack and/or shit about it… but let me tell ya, that Doc may be unnecessary as K-baby discovers that utilizing someone else’s skin (or that of a fresh stiff) can cure her condition right quick; so the body count begins to rise as apparently lookin’ good is more important than a nasty murder or twelve… Co-writer (along with genius creator

Movie Review: Itsy Bitsy (2019)

From director Micah Gallo comes the frightening flick Itsy Bitsy, a tale about a troubled family relocating to a new town following a terrible event only to find they must now face a new threat. You can’t help but feel sympathy for the family, a single mother (Elizabeth Roberts), her son (Armen Darbo), and her daughter (Chloe Perrin) who have moved to a new town so she can work as a home care nurse for an older man (Bruce Davison) who collects illegal artifacts.
