Beautifully Shot Garbage

Kira is terrified of getting older and, one day, she notices a strange growth on her finger that starts to spread to other parts of her body, rendering her skin flaky and rough. After seeing a doctor and a specialist who don't seem to know what's wrong with her, she suddenly realizes that replacing her skin with other human tissue can heal her, but it doesn't last forever and she needs more and more victims to heal herself.On paper, the concept of Replace sounds excellent, but the script is complete mess with characters doing things that require huge leaps of logic. The first 45 minutes are mostly a series of odd decisions made by our heroine which are never explained even when a big mid point twist arrives, trying to make sense of everything we've seen up to that point.Kira does things like pick up a slice of her friend's foot that's just been injured on a broken wine glass and stick in on her own skin. Why was she lead to do this? I suppose because the script said so. Even weirder is when she leaves her doctor's appointment and decides to take a trip down to the morgue to flay the skin off of a corpse and try it on for size. It's never explained why she jumps to these extremes and it makes for an infuriating watch.On the plus side, Replace is one of the most beautifully shot indie horror films I've seen in years, but it almost has to be to keep the audience interested in its moronic script and characters. Even horror icon Barbara Crampton can't save this mess of a movie.

Re-peal and replace

Sorry for the inappropriate political pun I used there, but I just couldn't resist. While that is timely and I'm not sure the joke will be understood in 10 years (or even when the next president is on), the movie itself is timeles (pun very much intended). Immortality is something humans have been seeking out forever and something that is both appealing and appaling, if you really take your time and think about it.The movie starts off a bit weird, with a scenario that might leave you wondering what is going on. Like me, because I didn't read what this was about. Most twists can be seen way ahead of the time they arrive on screen, but it's still very enjoyable to watch. The actors are having fun with this ... let's call it body horror movie. And while it has quite a few flaws (pun intended), it is more than decent enough
