Knives and Skin


-------------------------------------------------------------------
In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated 1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going to review every single movie I see.  I’m going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future).  You can always ask me why I gave the ratings for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses under the ‘About Me’ section).

Knives and Skin                                                           OK
This is a different kind of teen movie (kind of).  It’s also a mystery and kind of a musical (kind of; you have to see it to understand).  All the characters appear to be in a daze and there’s definitely a David Lynch vibe (Twin Peaks comparisons are highly likely).  A teenage girl goes missing in the beginning and a decent amount of people in this small town have secrets (as is common in such film environments and even reality).  The film may be well-made and mesmerizing to look at, but it ultimately lacks in substance.  I felt there really was no mystery aspect and the conclusion was rather dry.  3/5/2020
