Skintight

About This Movie

Skintight is an interesting dive into the psyche of its lead, a doctor at a sex clinic, who becomes fixated on a newly hired sex therapist. The film’s tone is a strange blend of drama and eroticism, creating a unique atmosphere that feels both clinical and intimate. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but that just adds to its charm, giving the viewer time to sit with the characters' conflicting desires. What stands out are the practical effects used in some of the more risqué scenes—definitely a product of its time. Performances range from subtly intriguing to a bit awkward, making it a curious watch for those into the exploration of sexual themes in cinema.

Skintight has had a somewhat elusive history in terms of home media releases, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. It's been mostly circulated in VHS format, with limited availability in more modern formats, which adds to its intrigue. The film garners interest not just for its content but for its place in the early '80s erotic drama landscape, appealing to niche collectors who appreciate the underrepresented facets of that era.
