Surgeon/Skinner

Rating:
Summary: not sufficient
Review: 'Skinner' is kept up by Ricki Lake, whose acting is quite convincing. Unfortunately she's the only one doing so, and that is insufficient to save this movie as a whole. Male lead Ted Raimi acts woodenly, and Traci Lords' cripple, drugged character is far from what she performs best: a active, sharp-witted lady.

One longs to see this movie's end before it is finished.

Summary: Silence of the Lambs Too
Review: A low rent, horribly written, acted, and directed exploitation film, Skinner tries to be "Silence of the Lambs Too", with "Xena's" Joxer (Ted Raimi) as Dennis Skinner, the Buffalo Bob character who likes to skin his victims and play dress up, and Traci Lords as the female protagonist determined to track him down. Apparently, (this is never explained in the story) Lords' character was one of Skinner's victims who managed to escape before he finished the dirty deed. She has nasty scars on her arm and leg, and has to inject herself with something, presumably to ease the pain. Throughout the movie, she either stands in water or limps around muttering threats of revenge, mostly unintelligible as the audio in this movie sucked. Worse still, the DVD has visible frame roll. Don't bother.

Summary: The "North" of the horror genre
Review: I only bought this dvd because ted raimi was in it, don't get me wrong seeing him semi naked was fanastic but the quality of this disc is terrible as after three plays it is jumps and pausing when it feels like it. Very disappointed about the quality, but I am still happy as the overall movie is interesting.

Summary: Terrible!
Review: 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.

Review: If you're into classic "show me the gore" horror flicks, check these two out. They may not be too popular, but many of the greats aren't. You can't beat Amazon's price for two DVD's either! Enjoy.
