Skinned Deep

2004 · 97 min

A scrappy, gleefully weird backwoods horror-comedy that lurches from goofy to gruesome, best enjoyed as late-night cult trash.

Tagline: Meet the surgeon general!
Overview: An ordinary family goes on a trip by car, but their car breaks down. The dutiful father of the family immediately sets off to get help and seems to find it with a nice elderly lady. The woman invites the whole family to dinner, but the hospitality soon turns out to be an ambush.
How it feels: Absurd, campy, dark and eerie. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, family, violence, madness
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
