Not My Cup of Tea,
By A Customer
This review is from: Skin Flick (DVD)
I'd not realized that this was from the same director as "No Skin Off My Ass" (which a gay friend and I rented some years ago and didn't care for). The director has a strong fixation with neo-Nazi Skin Heads, their violence, psychological make up, and homoerotic tendencies. I mistakenly thought this was a regular drama; instead, though "dramatic" and violent, it's also (bad) soft core porn--or rather hard core with all the naughty bits (mostly) off screen. I recommend this film to any having a strong fixation on British neo-Nazi Skin Heads. I advise other folks to skip this film altogether. The violence is brutal (though I've seen worse) and the sex scenes, of which there are plenty, were all un-sexy (at least to me.) All in all, not my cup of tea.

Rough and Quirky Film, Sure (and Reliably Good!) Signs of Bruce LaBruce, Dudes!,,
By C-P Parker "Jerry Parker" (région de l'Abitibi, QC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Skin Flick (DVD)
`Skin Flick` is another of Canada`s own (and proud of him!) Bruce LaBruce`s low-budget, high interest films, unpredictable and funny-savage at the same time. The movie, apparently a less hardcore, less gritty version of `Skin Gang` (but still quite tough!) is about skinheads (as, indeed, several of LaBruce`s films involve skinheads or punks) and their conflicted love-and-loathing for themselves and for each other as well as for `non-skins`. There are rough tensions, violence, and even murder; the lattermost occurs when two non-skinhead gay mixed race male lovers get the upper hand in the scene of their struggle with the skinheads who have been bashing both (and raping the black one while hurling racist insults at and about him), thus `turning the tables` on their assailants. For all of that, and as part of it all, there is much entertainment and quirkness, too (the latter the more so since at film`s end the black dude of the two lovers who had been bashed, despite his traumatic experience, still dangerously is oggling skinhead boyflesh as he encounters suchlike along the way, in passing, on the sidewalk).The film`s action can be difficult to follow at some points as the camera changes views quickly, especially in the scuffle which results in the murder, where it can be hard to tell who does what to whom. It is recommendable to read the synopsis of the film (with a substantial, but really misconceivedly too-negative) review by Jos Arroyo, as they appear on the B.F.I.`s (British Film Institute`s) WWW site, either before seeing the film (if one does not mind having the action `given away` beforehand) or afterwards (to clear up questions that might occur while having watched it). At film`s end the black dude of the two lovers who had been bashed, despite his traumatic experience, still dangerously is oggling skinhead boyflesh as he encounters that, in passing, on the sidewalk. The guys in the cast are physically attractive each in his own way and they most surely know how to look good buck-naked to copulate with considerable vigour and flair, the rough and cheap film-making not compromising any of that, one may rest assured!

Actually...it's really not all that bad.,
By justanothernancyb0y - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Skin Flick (DVD)
Yes, this movie isn't for everyone. Anyone who knows Bruce LaBruce, knows these are the kind of movies he makes. You don't watch this particular film for its cinematography or stunning dialogue- frankly, you watch it for the porn. And if you have skinhead fetish, this will definitely satisfy it. It IS hardcore and rough, and I really did enjoy it (many times). It sounds like some of the people that reviewed this film were expecting something more "indie" or "low-budget" kind of movie. Well, it is indie and low-budget, but it's a porn movie, NOT a regular movie (though I think it is masked as one from the descriptions).This is LaBruce's first hardcore porn aside from the other "softer" ones. There is one particular violence scene where the group of skinheads break into a salt-and-pepper couple's home and torture them. That did make my jaw drop thinking "can they really show that?" But then you realize what you're watching and not take it too seriously. All in all, it was really campy, bad dialogue, bad acting, but fantastic looking men, and steamy scenes, with an actually decent soundtrack behind it. So, if you're into skinhead sex, this is for you. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Be prepared,
By Seth777 - Published on Amazon.com
I honestly had no idea what I was getting when I got this movie, reccomended to me from someone else, I went on that and bought it, I was absolutely shocked when I started watching it.Very graphic sexually, and the slurs are a little hard to hear constantly but some of the scenes are pretty darn hot and the music in it is actually pretty good.. If your into the more obscure cultish flicks, and like Bruce La Bruce and Steve Masters, then you'll probably think this movie is ok. thats all I can really say about this flick.. Worth owning? No... Worth watching at least once? yes... 10 of 13 people found the following review helpful

hmm,
By ken "ken" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Skin Flick (DVD)
I rented this film, thinking it was a bad-ass kind of gang film.Therefore, I was extremely surprised when all the gay sex started kickin' in. The sex scenes were awfully realistic and long; I would classify this film as a violent porn film. For a straight person like me, it was an eye-opener--really intense stuff. I felt like I took a peep into the world of gay sex. The film was good, as an experience. |
