Flayer

About This Movie

So, 'Flayer' is a curious blend of comedy, crime, and drama; a bit of a wild ride, really. The pacing is all over the place, which might turn some people off, but it adds to that off-kilter charm. The atmosphere feels almost like a late-night cult classic, where the quirky characters really shine through their performances. It has this dark humor woven throughout that contrasts nicely with some heavier themes. The practical effects, while not top-tier, have a certain raw quality that makes it distinctive. It's not polished, but that’s part of its charm. You can tell there’s a real passion behind it, even if the execution is a bit uneven.

'Flayer' is one of those films that has slipped under the radar for many collectors, which makes it kind of intriguing. Originally released on VHS, its availability has dwindled over the years, and copies are getting harder to find. The film has sparked interest in niche collector circles, especially due to its unconventional tone and the oddball charm that comes through despite its flaws. If you're into digging up lesser-known titles, this one could be a fascinating addition.
