This should be interesting. I like Almodovar and several of his films are disturbing, but this really is pretty much his first "horror film."

And...Banderas can be a bad ass apparently.

I like Banderas...but, I am watching a movie right now called The Big Bang, and it almost seems as if his accent is getting worse as he gets older. Doing foreign films may be the way to go.

“The Skin I Live In” features almost no comic relief, takes its time telling its story, and conjures up imagery (suggestively, without being explicit) that might make even “Human Centipede” fans flinch, so it’s no surprise that it’s already dividing audiences, critics, and even Almodóvar fans.

For me, it was a disturbing experiment in terror that calls to mind some of the all-time horror classics -- particularly Georges Franju’s “Eyes Without a Face” -- while boldly striking out on its own.

Opening at various Laemmles on 11/4, including Claremont, which means I just might get to see it on the big screen.
