Skin Crawl

the movie was suspenseful,gory enough to make you want to hide your face in the couch pillow,and interesting enough to make you sorry it was over.the characters were great, the story line kept you going.the lighting and background effects were ominous. they promoted an eerie feeling. the special effects were overwhelmingly real.the ending was awesome.left you with a true "thud".the actors were well chosen, and suited for their parts.i can't wait for it to get out on video.i'm hoping for more movies from justin wingenfeld.he seems to have a real feeling for the macabre.shock-a- rama movies are always a good viewing pick. take a peek and see.

I would just like to know what (if any) basis for comparison that people say that films of this yore are 'worst movie ever made' or 'director should be flogged'...you get the drift.

I am just interested as to what is considered a 10 in the same production budget range.

It's no good just making bland comments that we've all used before. I thought Spidey 3 was a major disappointment (on that budget) but I thought Cabin Fever was great (for that budget)...but both made a shed load of money.

But I do know something, that if the budget was low enough for this movie and yet it got distribution...then a profit was made somewhere along the line...and in the film BUSINESS...that's all that matters.

Good luck to anyone who makes a movie and gets a distribution deal.

Obviously some who were involved with the production of this movie are reviewing it, otherwise it would have a uniformly low score.

Let's not bother with the plot here, it's already been mentioned by other reviewers and is neither original nor noteworthy.

The production values are generally acceptable, with decent camera work, and acting that is at least as bad as you know it's going to be. Maybe worse. I'm OK with average to low production if some element of the film makes up for that. That's not the case with this movie.

What they're trying to sell this movie on is sex and horror: the movie contains very little of either. Forget the review where they mention all the different kinds of sex in this movie - you don't see any of it. You'll see even less horror, unless your idea of horror is being terrified at the idea these people would be allowed to make a movie.

There aren't enough special effects to mention, the dialog is about the same as you would expect from an elementary school stage play, and the nudity is confined to some lightweight T&A, less than you'd see on late night cable. You would be better off paying a couple neighborhood skanks to dance around your living room. Squirt a little ketchup on them and you'd have about the same amount of horror this movie contains.

Oh my, I would really recommend giving this film a miss if you're craving for a canonic cinematic experience with good acting, effects and production values. Don't watch it if so because you simply won't like it, it has none of it. Now, If you're aware that you're about watching a cheaply produced movie, with acting that could range from annoying to hard-tried and a simple story, you'll find Skin Crawl is quite enjoyable, its simple story is actually driven through a fun and twisty storytelling, towards the bloody satisfying ending the cover promises. This movie simply delivers what it promises, so if you'll give it a go, do it with the right expectations and you'll have a nice time.

I'm sorry, I like to think of myself as one who will give any movie a fighting chance but, I started skipping chapters in the DVD before the first chapter was even close complete. I kept hoping that the overall effect would improve, it didn't. The acting was horrible. The dialog was corny at best (to the point it wasn't even laughable). The wardrobe was able to be passed off as era appropriate. The makeup could have been done better if a fifteen year old had done it! All in all I kept being reminded of a horribly made 1970's x-rated movie, all that was missing is cameo by Ron Jeremy. The overall badness didn't have me mustering the time or energy to give this one half of a fighting chance.
