Reviews

Classic body-horror film with a queer perspective

"Body-horror goes to ‘gross out’ depths (pardon the pun). Graphic nudity and great sex scenes. Relationship dynamics which rival “Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?” Who could ask for anything more? It’s a great watch as long as you know what you’re getting into. The booklet included has a great essay, lots of great pics of historic-style promo materials, and mostly X-rated photos. The interviews in the extras are engaging, and the short film included fascinates."

Donald M. (5/5)

Beautiful Packaging, Great Video Quality

"Really impressed with packaging and booklet. Was a blind buy but I really enjoyed this film."

Edward H. (5/5)

Interesting but could have gone further

"Not enough going on to justify the run time but the movie is good"

Adam R. (4/5)

Queer Thriller

"Great cast, excellent story, tension throughout. Highly recommended."

Jeffrey L. (5/5)

Skin

"Gross, intense and hot at the same time. The plot is fun and I didn’t expect it to go where it did. The star of the film definitely shows why he don’t mind bearing it all on screen"

Michael P. (5/5)

Carter Goated

"Carter is elite! Amazing art super cool extras/introduction. Amazing original film"

Chad I. (5/5)

Another one I had high

"Another one I had high hopes for. . . overall I enjoyed this one, but was hoping for a little more. Can I give it 3 1/2 stars??? It was great to see Mark Patton in a movie again! Definitely worth picking up during a sale!"

Adam T. (3/5)

Swallowed

"Holy crap! This went places NOBODY wants to go! Go in as blind as you can and you’ll maximize the ride. Lots of potential in both writing and directing. Performances were mostly good (Malone) was perhaps the least impressive. Taking the obvious presentation about sexuality out of the equation, there is some truly horrific stuff that should intrigue any horror fan."

Shawn J. (4/5)
