Following in the footsteps of the likes of David Cronenberg, German filmmaker Norbert Keil unleashes his own brand of body-horror on unsuspecting audiences with Replace – a Bathoryesque tale of a beautiful young woman, Kira, who is afflicted with a disease that rapidly ages her skin. After seeking the advice of a dermatologist she discovers she can replace her skin with that of other girls, so of course she abducts and kills a potential donor.

Following in the footsteps of the likes of David Cronenberg, German filmmaker Norbert Keil is set to unleash his own brand of body-horror on unsuspecting audiences with Replace – which Keil co-wrote with the legend that is Richard Stanley (Hardware).
Replace stars Barbara Crampton, Rebecca Forsythe, Lucie Aron and Sean Knopp; and tells the story of a young woman with a strange skin disease, who is forced to make a choice when she discovers she can replace her own decaying skin with another woman’s… Shades of Brian Thomas Jones’ The Rejuvenator perhaps?
Young and beautiful Kira is afflicted with a strange disease where her skin ages rapidly to the point of drying out and crumbling away. When she discovers that she can replace her own skin with somebody else’s, she has to make a choice: watch her own body wither and die or give in to temptation…… whatever the price.
