Leave your thoughts about In Their Skin.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfDies a horrible death in the second half, which is a crying shame when the opening is so strong and uniquely disturbing. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergOffers a slightly more socially relevant motive than simply "crazy guy wants to kill family," and it works. |
| Film.comEric D. SniderMore polish could have made this alarming psycho-drama resonate better, but even as it stands it's a nerve-racking good time. |
| Paste MagazineScott WoldThe most frustrating thing about Jeremy Power Regimbal’s directorial debut is there’s part of a very effective thriller here. It’s just not the good part. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDirector Regimbal does an effective job of slowly ratcheting up the tension and handling the sometimes brutal violence in a relatively restrained manner. Josh Close’s screenplay is equally nuanced, concentrating as much on the characters’ psychological complexities as the gothic thriller storyline. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerWinds up turning itself into just a rote thriller about psychos learning that, appearance notwithstanding, every family has dysfunctional problems. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyAn unnerving home-invasion thriller, In Their Skin has narrative bones we've certainly seen before, bearing perhaps the closest resemblance to Michael Haneke's two versions of "Funny Games." Nonetheless, the same simple premise achieves full creepy impact here without succumbing to cheap genre thrills or cool arthouse abstraction. |
| HollywoodChicago.comBrian TallericoSadly, Jeremy Power Regimbal's intense drama doesn't offer anything significant to a horror genre filled with superior choices. |
| User ReviewHayley PSuch a haunting film with very engaging performances, especially from the amazing Selma Blair |
| User ReviewMichael NEveryone is terrific, but it's really Rachel Miner who's turned up to eleven and killing it. |
