In the Raw

About This Movie

So, 'In the Raw' is a peculiar piece from 1988 that’s been through some rough treatment, you know? The original cut was hacked up—two scenes gone, and they messed with the order, which really changes the vibe. It has this rawness to it, almost like a document of its time. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, carry a certain gritty charm that fits the film's overall tone. Performances vary, but there's something uniquely captivating about the way the actors embrace their roles, even if the editing feels a bit disjointed. It stands out because of its oddities, and that makes it kind of essential in a way—definitely one for the collectors who appreciate the quirks of early '90s cinema.

This film has seen limited releases, mostly in VHS format, which adds to its scarcity. The edits and reordering of scenes have led to a mix of opinions among collectors, with some intrigued by its unique presentation. As far as niche titles go, it garners interest mainly due to its peculiar history and the curio factor of its jumbled narrative.
