This is How Movies Should Be Made

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This movie is completely out of this world. Raimi's character is the perfect bad guy. It's almost as if he has two totally different personalities. During the day, he's Dennis, the lovable, nerdy guy who lives at the end of the hall and works as a janitor. At night, he's Skinner, the deranged madman who kills people, skins them, and then wears the skin of his victims. This was the first major movie role I had ever seen Ted Raimi in. I was used to seeing him as the bumbling hero wannabe, Joxer, from the "Xena" and "Hercules" television shows and bit parts in other movies. It was interesting to see him pull off a role that was the complete opposite of what I was used to. The scene in the warehouse is very creepy. When you see all of Skinner's "tools" hanging from the racks, there's just something about that scene that is mildly terrifying. Almost as creepy as the scene with him walking down the street wearing the skin suit of one of his victims and imitating said victim's voice. Very disturbing. Fans of low-budget, B-movies will enjoy this film. Fans of special effects and and tons of blood and gore won't, as there isn't really any blood and gore shown until the last part of the movie. All in all, not a bad movie.

The movie Skinner is about a serial killer who has a disturbing hobby of skinning his victims and then wearing their skin like clothing. To me, that sounds like a credible horror film story line, but the execution of this film was very poor. The acting was unbelievable, the film quality looked like the movie was filmed in the 1800s, and the effects were not good at all. I would not recommend this film to anyone at all for any reason. There are no memorable scenes or lines in this movie, so I'm going to give it a 1 out of 10 star rating.

This movie cracked me up! What a fun, trashy little film. Tracy Lords is almost impossible to watch and Ricky Lake is just calling it in. The only reason to watch this flick, in my humble opinion, is for Ted Raimi. Why is this guy not a star? He really gets into his performance in this film. I have always enjoyed him on Xena but Skinner gives him a chance to run with a lead roll. He's a really good actor! And to top it all off he's super cute and his body is sound as a pound! Yowzers!!!!

Anyone who's seen horror movies & loved them as gory as can be... You've got to see this one! I've always loved those movies where you couldn't guess the endings...& Ted Raimi is added pleasure!
