Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

allencurl-1 In b-movie terms, this one is one of the best ones out there. I immediately was drawn to this movie when the front cover showed unnecessary nudity (a b-movie antic, I guess the producers decide that " let's just add a bunch of nudity to make up for the plot and acting's short-comings.") Anyway, upon looking at the back of the movie, I knew I had landed a great b-movie. The plot is so incredibly poor it makes me cringe, let me sum it up for you: A poor group of travelers go around killing people and using their skins to sell like authentic hides from cows or deer or something. The acting is so incredibly cheesy and the "Special effects" (blood, make-up and props) and terrible too. Now the reason I say this is a good b-movie is because it is so incredibly stupid that it is funny. I was laughing in hysterics upon the second time watching this movie. What you need to do, in watching this movie is watch it by yourself, (which you will more than likely find this movie stupid and repulsive) but then watch it again. You will get to pick up on the numerous plot-holes and parts of the movie that are just so cheesy you can do nothing but laugh. Don't be afraid to stop the movie, rewind it, and make fun of things in specifics also, like when the old man walks into his basement and finds a piece of skin lying on the floor (which is most obviously bologna) and other stuff like that. Have fun with it, it's worth it!

Coventry This is another sick cheapie from J.R. Bookwalter's stable of enthusiast but untalented horror directors, better known as "Tempe Productions". Apart from his own outrageously gore debut film "The Dead Next Door", Bookwalter's production studio has unleashed nothing but embarrassingly bad splatter-stuff upon horror-loving audiences that have the most absurd and grotesque plots but also the most incompetent means to work with. "Skinned Alive" is entirely Jon Killough's pride and handles about a family of traveling weirdos that turn innocent people into fashionable clothing. After killing a guy near a retarded little Ohio town, their van breaks down and the family (weelchaired mother and her incestuous son and and daughter) has to stay at the garage owner's house, where they unconcernedly continue their killing spree. This movie somewhat feels like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" meets "Mother's Day" but it's neither scary nor very funny. I appreciate the goodwill of all cast-members (Scott Spiegel in particular seems to have a lot of fun) and some of the gore-effects are effectively nauseating. Killough's sense of humor is delightfully twisted and low-budget gore king J.R. Bookwalter makes a small appearance as the Jehovah's Witness (they make such easy preys). "Skinned Alive" is overall enjoyable in a brainless sort of way. Too bad about the terrible – at times downright unendurable – acting and the completely redundant divorce sub plot.

cheesyfilmfactory That this movie has any fans at all is a fact that amazes me. That this movie has an IMDb rating of above one amazes me even further. Some movies are so bad, they are actually good, you can laugh at them and be taken along for the ride whilst not taking them seriously at all. This movie is not one of them. I would rather stick pins in my eyes than be forced to watch this awful movie again. For the opening scene, the cheapness of this film smacks you in the face with awful camera work and even worse characters. They didn't make me laugh, they didn't scare me, i was just amazed that a film like this ever got accepted for distribution. I did manage to make it to the end, but it was truly the most painful experience ever. Please don't get sucked in, yes the cover makes it look a little intriguing, and yes some of the other IMDb users seem to like it, though I'm sure they are lying to make others suffer like the people who have already seen it have done. It is a terrible movie with no redeeming qualities AT ALL. The deaths, characters, camera work, script, etc are the most unbelievably bad ever witnessed. Do not waste the time.

TC Smoot I rented 'Skinned Alive' under the impression that the movie was made fairly recently. Well, the joke was on me as 'Skinned Alive' is a cheap crap independent movie made in 1989. Apparently, fans were just begging for this movie to be re-mastered and re-released on a digital format, so the director complied. Well, for everyone's sake, he should have just burned the master instead. The collective cast is perhaps the ugliest, most unappealing troupe ever assembled reciting possibly the stupidest lines committed to paper. I love bad B horror movies as much as the next guy. This crap should have been left buried though. There's DVD extras, but I'm not sure why the hell anyone would want "extras" on a movie that appears to be created with the talent of a bowling team who got bored during the off-season. I'm not going to bother to give a plot synopsis, since it would be a waste of time. You could give a monkey a pencil and paper, sit him down in a room for an hour, and he could come up with a better script than this. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Filmed on location in scenic Ohio.
