Skinned

About This Movie

Skinned (2024) dives into a grim world where the mundane meets the macabre. Set in the desolate landscapes of Patagonia, it follows Nazario, a butcher with a chilling ritual. The way he dispatches the lamb is unsettling, and you can almost feel the weight of that moment linger. The film's pacing is deliberate, almost suffocating, enhancing the sense of dread. The themes of revenge and the supernatural intertwine, leading to a card game that shifts from mere stakes to life and death. It’s not just about the scares; the practical effects stand out, lending a raw, visceral feel. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and while we don’t know much about the director, this unique blend of folklore and horror makes it feel fresh yet hauntingly familiar.
