Skin Deep

About This Movie

Skin Deep (2023) dives into the weird and unsettling realms of horror with a personal touch. The atmosphere is thick with tension, capturing that end-of-summer melancholy. The young woman's journey is as much about internal struggle as it is about the external threats in this small town. The pacing feels deliberate, almost dreamlike, as it builds up to the reveal of her true self. Practical effects add a gritty layer—no over-reliance on CGI here, which I appreciate. Performances are raw and relatable, particularly how she navigates her insecurities. It’s that blend of emotional depth and horror that feels distinctive, making it a curious watch for genre enthusiasts.
