Richard Stanley tackles body horror with Replace

Writer/director Richard Stanley might not be a household name, but genre buffs know him well. He exploded onto the scene in the 90s with gems like Hardware and Dust Devil, and has recently earned mad praise with the H.P. Lovecraft adaptation Color Out of Space. Turns out Stanley also wrote a body-horror movie called Replace with Norbert Keil, who directs. And it stars genre icon Barbara Crampton. The plot is something David Cronenberg might had tackled in his heyday, with a woman having to murder people and steal their skin in order to fight a dermatological disease. Take a look: You know what, I like what I see! This looks well made and acted, and appropriately gruesome given the subject matter. And I've always dug Stanley's ideas and sensibilities. Replace also stars Rebecca Forsythe and Lucie Aron, and it hits DVD and VOD Oct. 1. Source: Uncork'd Entertainment
