Movie Reviews of Masters of Horror - Pelts

Movie Review: good - bloody good, but ...
Summary: 4 Stars

A typical Dario Argento movie, bloody good concerning the tricks, the camera, light and the editing and of corse the actors ... but the upcoming changes and growing madness in the characters who had contact with the pelts are not very much credible - I expected more suspense. Anyway - loving Dario Argento you'll love this movie!

Summary of Masters of Horror - Pelts

Meat Loaf Aday stars as Jake Feldman a short-tempered furrier struggling to build a small-time business while being tormented by his obsession for a sexy stripper. But when a sadistic backwoods trapper (John Saxon of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and Argento s TENEBRE) kills a strange group of pet raccoons Jake knows their luxurious hides could make a coat that will change his fortunes forever. Only these are no ordinary pelts: Everyone who comes in contact with the cursed furs is soon driven to unspeakable acts of self-mutilation and extreme violence. Even if Jake can now possess the flesh he desperately covets what horrific final price will he pay for the skin he s in?System Requirements:Run Time: 59 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: NR UPC: 013138990181 Manufacturer No: N9901

From the second season of Showtime's Masters of Horror series comes the next Dario Argento offering, Pelts, which is far creepier than his last attempted made-for-TV thrillers (Do You Like Hitchcock and Jenifer). Meatloaf stars as Jake, a sleazy furrier whose obsession for a lesbian stripper named Shannon results in his attempting to make the finest fur ever for her to wear at an upcoming fur trade show. John Saxon (Tenebre) plays a trapper who comes through for Jake by setting traps in sacred raccoon territory to capture the most beautiful animals imaginable. However, as these raccoons are magical guardians of a lost raccoon city, they curse all associated with the deaths of their brethren with the desire to commit gory suicides using techniques employed in the manufacturing of fur coats. Quite disgusting are scenes of a seamstress sewing her eyes and nose shut with thread, or of a man cutting his belly open with shears to gut himself. One can only infer what Jake's fate might be. The film's disturbing ambience is amplified when suicides occur in the skinning and tanning rooms of Jake's fur factory. Close-ups of the raccoons' faces and shots of their ancient city, which boasts raccoon-carved sculptures, remind one of the absurdity of magical raccoons as crime instigators. But simultaneously the message of Pelts is made clear. Pelts would make any PETA member proud, if not nauseous. --Trinie Dalton
