Under the skin.

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 1999)

Most scary movies are set in realities not quite our own. We suspend disbelief and immerge ourselves in this other reality in order to be scared.
Some, however, have the power to let the horror seep into our own worlds and under our own skins, and that's when things get really scary. BWP succeeds in this most of the time and I felt my heart racing at several times during the movie, which is a very good sign. On the downside, it was a bit unbalanced: between the set-up in town, the horror elements and the "drama" elements.
Nevertheless, a great film...
