Here’s a quiz for you. Let’s say you’re driving across the country on vacation, and your automobile breaks down. You limp into a ramshackle country keep and are greeted by Granny (Liz Tiny), the creepy old woman who owns the place. She invites you to keep for dinner, and, not wanting to be rude, you accept. As soon as you and your kin are seated and ready to consume, Granny introduces you to the other members of her household.

Initial off, there is Brain (Jay Dugre). He’s an typical-hunting guy except for that massive sack which addresses his enormously oversized cranium. Then there’s Plates (Warwick Davis), a midget who dresses all in white and seems to be (and acts) like a junior-sized psychopath. Oh, and he likes to throw plates at people. And finally, sitting in a darkened corner, is a guy introduced as the Surgeon General (Kurt Carley). You can’t make him out really nicely, but it kind of seems like he’s wearing someone’s face above his indivi

dual. I’ll repeat that previous component. He’s wearing someone’s face above his own.

Now for the quiz. At this point, would you:

(a) Be pondering to oneself how odd these men and women are and how you’d better view out.

(b) Excuse oneself to go to the rest room, then operate like hell.

(c) Chuckle like an idiot at all their charming backwoods antics, then start off asking the guy in the corner (that’s proper, the one particular wearing somebody else’s face) tons of irritating inquiries.

If you answered (a) or (b), then you’d possibly react like ninety nine.nine% of the population. But if you answered (c), nicely, you would be flawlessly suited to be a member of the Rockwell family.

Fortunately, the mother, father, and more youthful brother of the Rockwell clan are dispatched extremely early on (in truth, in the course of that sick-fated dinner pointed out above), leaving only teenage Tina (Karoline Brandt) to contend with

the loved ones of maniacs and fend off the romantic improvements of Brain. Luckily for her, help arrives later on in the form of a gang of homicidal, geriatric bikers named The Historic Ones (led, strangely, by previous-school horror fanboy, Forrest J. Ackerman). And let me inform you a thing – nothing can defeat the sight of an eighty-year-previous biker ripping the head off of a man and becoming drenched in blood.

Skinned Deep is what I’ve occur to assume from el cheapo horror movies. Bad script. Undesirable acting. Undesirable anything. The only issue that even passes for typical are the particular results, and this helps make sensation once you comprehend that the director (Gabriel Bartalos) has extended labored in that subject. Now that he’s received the directing bug out of his method, I hope he’ll go back again to the land of prosthetics and squibs and keep there.

The film attempts to be humorous at instances, but the Bartalos script is totally devoid of

something approaching humor. It doesn’t even have that so-poor-it’s-great good quality. It really is just negative. Your regional community theater could do better. For that matter, you could do far better with a number of thousand bucks.

And I would particularly like to express my disdain at the filmmakers for ripping off shots from The Street Warrior. Possibly they regarded as it an homage. I take into account it desperation and lack of creativity. It’s frustrating when Tarantino does it, and it’s even more frustrating when somebody of this ilk does it.

Skinned Deep had prospective, but the whole undertaking went horribly awry (possibly from the instant that a printer spit out the script). You have been warned. View at your personal peril. And, following looking at this, if you nevertheless feel you might rent this film, why do not you just set 5 dollars in an envelope and deliver it to me? I deserve it far more than the men and women who created this mov

ie.
