Skinner

(1995)

Hey guys and babes, ever want to see what Ted Raimi (brother of "Evil Dead"'s Sam Raimi) did before his brother got him a job on "Xena" as Joxtrap, or whatever the hell his name is,? Well, now it can be told! He made THIS movie. With the scandalous Traci Lords (in a lousy role as a DISFIGURED hooker) and the very talented... Ricki Lake?! Good God of Death, I wish that were a typo, but it's true. Let's get our minds off this unfortunate turn of events, shall we? So, Dennis Skinner (Raimi) is some weirdo, who peeled his dead mother's face off as a child, who lives with Carrie (Lake... Uggh) and her hubby, Geoff (who cares?) as a tenant, while Heidi (Lords) hunts Denise and keeps pumpin' her arms full of drugs. Denise is a nice boy, who picks up whores, and kills them, later skinning them. I kinda wish this were called "Fucker" instead of "Skinner", then maybe he wouldn't waste perfectly good hookers like that! Dennis also has a habit of stitching the whore pelts together to make bizarre "outfits". He's like Leatherface, but on a higher scale and REALLY dorky! Raimi makes a really convincing psycho case though, and was well cast. However, Traci shouldn't be made to look like the daughter of Sinead O'Connor and Freddy Krueger! That's just wrong! Soon, the four main "characters" come into one final confrontation at a warehouse, where a Rent-a-Cop unloads on Dennis and Heidi, and they have one final heart-to-heart as Heidi uses his "tender area" to relieve her stress with a well placed punch! Now, a moment of silence for the poor genitals... Okay, that's enough. The one thing that really pissed me off about this movie was the shitty audio! The audio team should've been fired, then SET on fire!

Sequels: Nope
