Customer Reviews of Skinner
a crappy transfer for dvd only worth the money for ted raimi i only ordered skinner only because it is a hard to find title and after seeing a interview in a issue of fangoria on ted raimi it looked like it could of been a graet horror flick. After viewing simitar's transfer to disc all i can say is that it is a terrible transfer the sound echos and even a bad jump in the picture that is obvisiously from the master tape used in the transfer. the only thing keeping this this low budget shocker afloat is ted raimi fine performance that makes me still gives this film 3 stars. there is one thing that was not explained in the film "what is skinners obsessession with running water?" Overall it was an interesting low budget flick that also gets my thumbs up to KNB for the fx.
An interesting failure
Worth watching once to see the movie it might have been. An amazing performance from Raimi, who slides deftly among the layers of the psychopathic title character without once overplaying his hand in a truly chilling performance. Ricki Lake is also subtle and effective as the unhappy landlady with a slowly growing attraction for her strange boarder. Unfortuately, the high-caliber performances are wasted on a meandering script and unfocused direction -- and a fatally slow pace which destroys any interest we might have in what's going on. As for the gore, it isn't that it's too much, it's that it's not enough. Too little and too late, it's almost half-an-hour before we know anything more about the movie than what we read on the box, and by then we're no longer interested. A shame, and most of the people involved deserved better.
One star is one star too many
This movie is really a dog. If any of you Ted Raimi fans out there ever watch this one and then later meet Ted, don't let him know you watched it. He'll make fun of you! Now that's the sign of a really bad movie! No redeeming factors here that I can see at all. Now, if you'll all excuse me, I think I'll go watch some paint dry.
