Skin Deep

About This Movie

Skin Deep (2018) is a curious blend of comedy and horror that weaves an absurdist narrative around the pressures of beauty. The film follows a pastry shop owner who grapples with self-destruction in her quest for attention from a customer. There's a surreal quality to the pacing that makes you both chuckle and squirm; the line between humor and horror is artfully blurred. Practical effects play a significant role here, amplifying the grotesque elements without veering into the overly digital. It’s this unique aesthetic that sets Skin Deep apart, with performances that walk a fine line between tragic and comical, inviting you to ponder the very nature of desire and societal expectations. A distinct piece that definitely stands out in its genre.
