SKINNED DEEP
dir. Gabriel Bartalos, 2004
97 mins. United States.
In English.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 6 – Midnight

SATURDAY, JANUARY 28 – 10 PM
A family’s flat tire on a barren stretch of road, with only a diner dotting the landscape, leads them to Granny, the seemingly nice old woman who runs the establishment.
Released in 2004, SKINNED DEEP plays like a surreal riff on THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE from an alternate dimension. It follows a family on a cross country road trip who stumbes into a hellish diner run by ‘the Surgeon General’ and his nightmare family, including ‘Brian’ (who has a massive cranium) and ‘Plates’ – a maniac who throws….plates – played by Warwick Davis.
Clearly crafted with a lot of love and care, SKINNED DEEP is mandatory midnight viewing for slasher fans.
