Bad Movie Review: I Eat Your Skin

[@UncleDeadly1031]

I love the editing style of your reviews. It’s like “reverse MST3K” where the movie is commenting or adding to your lines rather than vice versa.

[@yohei72]

In the Overlook Encyclopedia of Horror Movies, the brief blurb on this film ends with, "No skin is eaten."

[@annvictor9627]

I'm afraid that my first reaction to the title was to wonder if the skin was eaten raw or fried to a crisp first.

[@milliehayes]

I almost lost it at the Venetian blinds comment... 🤣🤣🤣 Another great review, thanks

[@tenhirankei]

Wait, this film was in Black & White with little to no gore in it? I remember being grossed out by the title imagining someone having their flesh torn from their body as it was eaten. And there was none of that? I don't know if I'm angry or relieved!

[@julietfischer5056]

You'd be surprised how many titles don't match the movies. This is usually an attempt to draw in new audiences. (Many decades ago, I read a MAD magazine strip that detailed the retitling and repackaging of a fictional movie from the romance -Whispering Branches_ to something like _The Hell-Raisers_ complete with the promise of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. Pretty accurate.)

[@byronp2311]

How I missed this is a question. Have to admit that it sounded gruesome. Still it was bad enough to be fun. This was exactly what I was looking for as a kid. And then along came something called, "The Exorcist" and I learned the difference between horrified (what I knew) and shocked (something very new; well, if you don't count The Tingler, which was literally shocking ;-)

[@jaguarheart]

This is one of my favorite films EVER

[@Charlesputnam-bn9zy]

One of the zombie movies that will never make this review is ''Zombies Of The Mora-Tau" because it's so good !

[@GrandOldMovies]

My suggestion for a future zombie review is an odd little item from 1936 called Revolt of the Zombies (somewhere in that title there's a joke...). It's an extraordinarily bad film, with only 2 features of interest: one, it takes place in Cambodia (or, as one blogger put it, it takes place not so much in as "in front of" enlarged photos of Cambodia), with a mad scientist trying to create a zombie army; and the other, it's made by the Halperin brothers, who made the 1932 film White Zombie, considered to be the first zombie movie ever made. Unfortunately for les freres Halperin, the second time proved very much not a charm.

[@brucefritzges8759]

White Zombie was actually pretty good. Bela Lugosi played the the zombie master "Murder Le Grande"

[@fritzfassbender8093]

My Gosh, you guys take some real silver bullets for our entertainment. Thank You For All That You Do. Next Zombie Film? To me John Carradine is the human personification of Dark Corners Reviews; so I recommend "Revenge Of The Zombies" (1943). I struggle to think of a film more boring with a more interesting title than "I Eat Your Skin".

[@hamhockbeans]

Wow that decapitation scene looks so real. I would say it cost 30 million for that effect.😋

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Another great review of a very bad movie. This film probably has the worst zombie make-up I have ever seen. Basically, plug up their eyes and cover them in sand. Wonderful thing, mad science. I'm sure that I have mentioned this film before, but one zombie flick that I would love to see Dark Corners tackle is "Shock Waves (1977)".

[@hamhockbeans]

The effects in this movie was 20 billion dollars.😂

[@wrath231]

[@OrangeElixir]

A great zombie movie to review next would be, "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things", the first horror movie directed by Bob Clark. It looks like a Scooby Doo episode gone off the rails.

[@DarkCornersReviews]

Your wish is our command. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYvJYYeqp6x_m6M But if you like movies that look like Scooby Doo episodes you will love Shriek of the Mutilated. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWWQYWhvgsujiNk

[@OrangeElixir]

[@julietfischer5056]

Elvira zinged this film, including a very funny character commentary to the music of the 'Gilligan's Island' theme.

[@toymanreturns546]

If I wanted to be bombarded by zombies in a remote island, I'd stick to Zombie Island Massacre in living color.

[@maletales979]

Greetings again from the great state of Wisconsin! Awesome review for a crap movie! For a somewhat good zombie flick, how about Shockwaves (1975)? It's got John Carradine and Peter Cushing in a great cameos, Brooke Adams from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", and Nazi zombies on a tropical island. You can't wrong with this one. Anyway, keep up the great reviews!

[@chadcastagana9181]

Male Tales. Oh yes, that schlocky film was a weird nazi zombie paranormal thriller - - a crapola cult film. I wonder when Hollyweird will remake it?

[@VonWenk]

I think I heard or read somewhere that the writer/director had gotten some sort of genius grant. In addition to directing Return of the Living Dead Part 2, he directed one of my favorite 21 Jump Street episodes, "Nemesis."

[@ALLNEWSUX1]

Yeah SHOCK WAVES is one of the greatest zombie movies ever...very original and that underwater photography is mind blowing!

[@steealconwyrick1999]

Maybe you could review _Zombie Nightmare_ - it's a REALLY painful 1987 zombie/voodoo flick that wastes the talents of Adam West and a pre-Wayne's World Tia Carrere on one of MST3k's lesser films (even by their standards). Also, probably because it stars Jon Mikl Thor (of all people), it features the music of numerous heavy metal bands (e.g. Motörhead). It's a unique film, but it certainly doesn't make it any good.

[@chadcastagana9181]

Steven Wyrick I remember seeing that flick on USA Up All Night in the early 90's paired with PUMPKINHEAD. Both films had same plot

[@steealconwyrick1999]

You're absolutely right. The difference is that _Pumpkinhead_ at least has decent effects and tries to build a spooky atmosphere (even though it didn't always work for me). _Zombie Nightmare_ probably made that film look like _The Thing_ by comparison.

[@lewisdoherty7621]

A sure indicator of an old movie with Hollywood projected ideas of tropical reality is having men dressed in coats and ties for evening events with a small number of people in a hot, humid off the beaten path island. It is an attempt to indicate an desire of the characters to maintain civility in a backwater as opposed to the natives. I would be walking around with shorts, a button down short sleeve shirt and a mosquito net which starts at my hat and goes down to and is tied at my boots. As my great-grandmother would say, White people weren't designed to live at these latitudes.

[@ian_b]

Even more horrific title: I Eat Rice Pudding Skin.

[@VonWenk]

Does The Earth Dies Screaming count as a zombie flick? If not, then may I suggest The Invisible Invaders, starring John Agar?

[@salliewagenblatt5188]

How about zombie bloodbath or one of the worst zombie filcks ever made burial ground.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

Made in 1964 apparently. I can't imagine whoever eventually bought the distribution rights paid much for the privilege!

How about TOXIC ZOMBIES, aka Bloodeaters, aka Fear the Forest - - have you reviewed this grade Z film from 1980?

[@ALLNEWSUX1]

I DRINK YOUR BLOOD is pretty brutal, but I found I EAT YOUR SKIN to be pretty boring...although the ping pong ball eyed zombies are decent. As far as other zombie flicks to cover, there is a plethora of shite zombie cinema made in the 21st century Brilliant review as always

[@l.salisbury1253]

No one ever accused this of being a GOOD movie! However, it does foreshadow elements of classic post-Dawn of the Dead" gems such as Zombi2, Doctor Butcher and Hell of the Living Dead!

[@Charlesputnam-bn9zy]

At least a movie to the measure of your Review !

[@brianfuller7691]

[@ritawing1064]

Oh dear, a somewhat eucharistic double bill, then.

Its probably still too soon to make a Jeffrey Dhamer joke so I'll just say that looks like Don Draper on vacation instead.

[@paulforder591]

So, I Eat Your Skin was filmed in 1964, but unreleased until 1970--seems the director had trouble finding a distributor for the print. Anyone know why it took so long to make it into theaters? And who was the director? Zombies with covered eyes?!? Give me a break! Must been difficult for the actors to run during the chase sequence. Another "so bad it's good" low--budgeter.

[@JohnSmith-eo5sp]

Wait a minute, I think this is the name of a B&W movie from 1965, and the title has nothing to do with the plot. A light weight thrilller. 0:50 That is just what Ivana Cadavera said when she hosted this flicks appearance on TV

[@bmorge]

Do The Island with Michael Caine

[@tskmaster3837]

I Eat Your Skin is a meaningless title? I think it'd work for Night of the Living Dead, especially when it was called Night of the Flesh Eaters.

[@ryandtibbetts2962]

Zombie Lake. Worst. Zombie. Movie. Ever.

[@danddoty3981]

No skin is eaten in the whole movie; they might as well call it PURPLE PENGUINS FROM PLUTO. I feel like I've seen this stupid plot in a couple dozen Z grade movies from the 50's. So they blow up the island, nobody could figure out how to get the model to sink. Zombie movie? BURIAL GROUND; where else can you see a thirty-year-old semi-midget lust after his Mother as really, really slow zombies attack screaming Italians.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

I now have a need to see "Purple Penguins from Pluto".

[@spib65]

This is a ' So bad it's good' movie,.. the acting in this film is truly awful, you should introduce an awful-acting-ometer,..but painfully funny as well, even that screechy woman, where did they shovel her up from? she makes Mrs killgore's performance in 'From hell it came' look like a winner, then, maybe not. keep up the good work!

they said that, but also repeatedly referred to them as natives, so i’m not sure if the screenwriter was even sure

Honestly, the other film, I Drink Your Blood, wasn't good at all either. It's just that it showed much more gore than this one.
