Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Michael O'Keefe All for the love of a girl. This horror flick also known as SKINNED ALIVE finds a socially backward New Yorker named Jeffrey(Jack Dillon)so desperate for love he keeps steady time with high dollar hookers; only to pour out his lonely heart to them. He falls in love with one in particular, the voluptuous Pandora(Melissa Baclear), who actually returns his affections. Pandora is keeping a very dark secret...she loves to mangle and consume her 'Johns'. After her relationship with Jeffrey gets real serious: she reveals her penchant for bloody human flesh. Just how long can he live and love like this? Writer Joshua Nelson plays a roll in this bloody mess along with Jeanette Bonner, Greg Depetro and Sharon Hawk.

capkronos Depressed, lonely insurance agent Jeffrey (Jack Dillon) lives alone in a huge house he inherited from his late mother. Striking out with every single woman he tries to ask out, Jeffrey becomes desperate enough to start arranging "dates" with women from an escort agency. None of them want anything to do with him once services are rendered, but things change once the mysterious Pandora (Melissa Bacelar) shows up at his doorstep. The two have an immediate emotional connection, but Pandora is harboring a deep, dark secret that will test their blossoming love... she's actually a cannibal who enjoys eating people alive! Will Jeffrey still stand by his new girl once the truth is revealed? Or will their union be cut short by thug brother of one of her victims (Joshua Nelson, also the writer), who's looking for revenge.I went into this with no knowledge about the plot or any of the people who made it and was surprised to see some genuine promise here. It's entertaining and a much more ambitious film than most micro-budget horror films I've seen. There's plenty of blood and nudity, the acting from the leads is OK, some of the dialogue is well-written and, compared to other films in its budget range, the sound and photography aren't too bad. The main thing I had a problem with was the fluctuation in tone. The film starts out being a dark and serious character study with an almost somber mood, but once Pandora reveals her secret to Jeffrey it becomes a little too camp for my tastes. Some of the humor works, but other times it falls flat or seems out of place.The filmmakers also toy around with keeping things ambiguous. We're never sure what exactly Pandora is. Is she a non-supernatural cannibal who just happens to crave human flesh, or some kind of monster? A vampire? A zombie? A demon? I liked this aspect of the film because slapping some kind of label on the character isn't even necessary. The film also introduces the idea that Pandora doesn't even exist and Jeffrey is just going mad, but that possibility is pretty much a waste of time since we've already spent part of the film watching "The Stalker" tracking down Pandora. The concept also isn't supported by the ending.Jeremy Selenfriend's gore fx are pretty good (especially a decapitation at the end) and there's a great Nine Inch Nails-style song over the opening credits, plus small roles for Jeanette Bonner as Jeffrey's concerned sister, Alan Rowe Kelly (I'LL BURY YOU TOMORROW) as a madam, Erika Smith (BITE ME!) as a prostitute and Peter Stickles ("The Lair") as a victim. It's set in New York City and has some decent aerial photography of the city.Worth a look.

homecoming8 Skinned Alive proves that anyone can make a film, you don't even need money, just a bunch of people from the street.One of the call-girls isn't a regular one: she likes to bite, eat and kill you. That is already shown in the first 3 minutes, after that it already goes downhill fast. There are some boobs, there is some blood in the form of cheap glued-on prosthetics, it kind of stretches the word "special effects". The acting is rather bad, the music is totally misplaced. The story is very dull, with no tension, thrills or whatever. I really didn't make it until the end. I'm a horror fan, so part of that job it to sit through some really bad movies that makes no sense at all. This was one of them, and I already forgot about it completely. Do not waste your time on this one, even if you like the genre..

movieman_kev Jeffrey is a sad sack leading a miserable life just wanting the love of a woman to validate his existence, forced to renting endless hookers in the vain hope of finding something special. Enter Pandora, she seems great in Jeffrey's eyes, (she seems to genuinely dig him and the sex is great) however Pandora has an unfortunate hunger for human flesh, (most of her victim's being pigs or swine and Jeffrey being Jewish, that's not exactly kosher) as well as another vicious hit-man gunning for her.Although this movie has the zombie/cannibalistic angle, this is more of a surreal off-kilter love story than a horror film, so if you're expecting a horror film look elsewhere. That being said the film isn't half bad for what it is and I enjoyed it for what it was despite it's fair share of flaws (awful gore effects and some sub-standard acting being chief among those) Eye Candy: Alisha Frank, Erika Smith, Sharon Hawk, Natalie Laspina, and an unknown actress all get topless My Grade: C+ DVD Extras:A 9 minute behind the scenes featurette; a promo trailer for '6 films to keep you awake'; and trailers for "Midnight Meat train", "Bram Stroker's Dracula's Guest", "Restraint", "Kitchen Priveleges", "Trapped Ashes"
