Review of Pelts

Masters of Horror: Pelts (2006)
Season 2, Episode 6
4/10
Was there any point?
8 December 2006
Starts out decently but after about 20 minutes, we get the point and yet the movie goes on and on trying to tell us the same thing. It's just empty repetition - so I didn't see a big point to this movie - I am actually surprised that the movie got greenlit (studio approval).

A few specifics:

Story = Interesting setup, but it goes nowhere. However, one of the very few good aspects of this movie is that it introduces the viewer to the somewhat interesting (albeit unsettling) process of trapping and skinning animals for their fur.

Gore / Special Effects = There is gore - some very good scenes and some embarrassingly bad ones. A couple of scenes are so obviously fake, it would have been more effective to have turned the camera away and left it to viewer's imagination. Many of the scenes seem physiologically impossible - very hard to accept.

Actor / Acting = "Meat Loaf" is great in the lead character role of a sadistic business owner. He is effective and his talents are wasted here.

Overall Recommendation: Pass on this one.
