Skinner

 

Getting myself mentally prepared to watch a horror flick with Ricki Lake was interesting. She never seemed like the type of celebrity that would even bother with something like Skinner, or any other horror film for that matter. But then again, I did watch and write a post about the movie Curve with Julianne Hough, and it was actually very good. She did a great job with her acting in that one. All I'm saying is that you never really know a person until they reveal their true self to you when the time is right. And that's basically an angle on Skinner. It's another typical serial killer/Texas Chainsaw type horror movie where Dennis Skinner does what he does best without anyone knowing, at night time, behind Ricki Lake's back. He lures hookers (mostly) to his secret warehouse type place where he ties them up, kills them, and skins them. And then he parades around in their skin because he's a sick motherfucker. And so he won't get caught doing so.

 

Ricki Lake in a horror flick? This is going to be great!

 

Pretty shiny knives.

 

I'm feeling Ed Gein right now.

 

The smell of dread is in the air.

 

Porno poker cards. I dig. I dig.

 

Someone's a fucking junkie. I'm glad it's not me.

 

Well, well. That's a hot ass hooker if I ever saw one.

 

"No beer." Hey asshole, I'm drinking some Rolling Rock right now. To bad you're stuck in a movie.

     

Ricki Lake, you're not sexy. You look like a bloated cow.

 

 I'm starting to get a Hannibal Lecter/Leatherface vibe from Dennis Skinner. Cool.

Is Traci Lords Jesus?!

Those are a killer pair of legs.

Yep, total Leatherface.

When Skinner first started, I really didn't think I was going to be into it all that much. But my view of this movie changed pretty quickly after I saw what kind of insanity was going to ensue after Dennis skinned a woman and wore her skin as an outfit. Probably the most disturbing scene is when you actually see him peel the face off some woman he has tied up on a table and then proceeds to wear her skin as clothing. I honestly didn't think the movie was going to go that far. And it did. And I smiled. There needs to be more films like this out there that takes a chance whether the people involved make any money or not. It's still a fun ride. If you're a fan of any of the Texas Chainsaw movies or Hannibal, then track down Skinner. You'll have one hell of a time.
