Skinned Deep, an American Slasher film by Gabriel Bartalos and released in 2004, is highly recommended for lovers of horror films. The Rockwell family becomes lost on the highway and ends into a strange family due to. This family is comprised of a woman and her three sons who are known as Brain, Plates, and Surgeon General (Jason Dugre and Warwick Davis respectively) (Kurt Carley). As the story unfolds it becomes clear that the family is involved in illegal activity and presents an opportunity for the Rockwells. The revelation is no surprise.
Skinned Deep is an unforgettable horror movie because of its extravagant set pieces, its humorous moments, and its quick-cutting. The wit and speed of the film was praised by the reviewer for Variety, Dennis Harvey, who described the film as "funny and perversely repetitive." However, Steve Barton of Dread Central has only given the film 2.5 stars, citing the repetitive use of clichés that are no longer relevant and predictable plot as reasons for his score. Because of its special effects, the aesthetic that evokes the 1980s, as well as its exuberant action, Ryan Larson of Bloody Disgusting described it as "one in the list of most outrageous horror films from the decade."
The slim budget that the film was made on was likely to hinder Bartalos from creating a horror film in the vein of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre or The Hills Have Eyes. Instead, he devised this slasher/science-fiction combo which is completely incomprehensible on top of being completely off the mark. Bartalos's previously worked on the special effects for the well-known horror films like "Frankenhooker" as well as "Brain Damage" before working on "Skinned deep" is evidence of his love of the bizarre.
Skinned Deep is a good alternative for horror fans who are looking for something new to watch despite the film's low budget and outdated effects which may put off some viewers. After the first half hour, which is it's a straight copy of The Texas Chain Saw movie review Massacre It takes an unusual turn that makes this one of the best horror movies of the decade. It helps earn its place among the most original horror films in the genre. The film is a slasher film that will be remembered because of its unique tone and bizarre cast, which is comprised of the plate-throwing madman known as Plates and the Surgeon General.
The most well-known aspects of Skinned Deep are the various creature styles and effects employed throughout the movie. Bartalos who is a specialist in the art of creating visual effects, conjures up an ensemble that is a collection of bizarre and horrifyingly interesting characters, and then brings them to life. The characters, from the deadly plates that hurl food to the armed Surgeon General, are distinct in their appearances and personas, which reflect in their appearances and designs. An incredible amount of effort went into the costumes and make-up which is the main reason for the film's eerie atmosphere.
The movie's use of realistic effects, music that was influenced by the 1980s, and a vivid color palette contribute to the film's distinctive nostalgia-inducing atmosphere. In addition, while giving something new to the genre of horror the film pays homage to several of the most memorable films from the genre's history.
Although the story has been tried before, the film's implementation is where its strengths lie. The audience is kept on their toes by the bartalos-created universe because it's both exciting and a bit bizarre. There's no time to relax between the many attacks of violence and chaos that will be taking place.
Everybody might not like Skinned Deep. It's strange, eerie and sometimes even bizarre at times. It's very strange. However, horror fans who are interested in observing a film that takes creative opportunities within the genre should at least take a look. Skinned Deep is able to make a mark among other horror movies because it was the result of an original idea and that Bartalos put prioritization on creating realistic effects.
