Watch Pelts For Free

That was an excellent one.

Sick Product of a Sick System

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

As a long time fan of Argento with his extremely stylish often ludicrously plotted films he frequently created some weird and brilliant cinematic moments in 'horror' film history. Admittedly, there were many moments where the brilliance didn't shine and even the most ardent fan will begrudgingly admit most of his films haven't aged too well. However, the sheer power of his set pieces and exquisite use of the cinematic medium in them more than compensates.Sadly, Pelts isn't vintage Argento. Not even close. In fact it's dreadful.You could show it to any Argento fan and they wouldn't recognise it as his work. Laboured, perfunctory direction at best and mainly not even that!. Any old hack could do it, and what's worse, probably better.Excellent special effects though and the sole reason for the 3 stars.

A sweat shop furrier becomes part of a bloody chain reaction when he acquires supernatural pelts that have a horrifying effect on all those who come in contact with them... Director Dario Argento lays the gore effects on with a trowel in this stylishly effective ecological allegory starring Meatloaf as the boorish fur-trader who's obsession with turning the raccoon pelts into a beautiful coat for the object of his affections exacts a terrible price. John Saxon guest stars as a greedy old geezer who unwisely traps his coons on sacred ground. The premise is very similar to a Cornell Woolrich short story about an ancient Aztec ceremonial cloak that makes its wearers murderous. Tobe Hooper fashioned it into the 1990 TV movie I'M DANGEROUS TONIGHT with Madchen "Twin Peaks" Amick as a young woman who turns the accursed cloak into a ravishing red cocktail dress. When it's worn, watch out!

I loved this episode. I've become quite obsessed with the Masters of Horror series and the After Dark Horrorfest films. A huge thanks to everyone who strives to bring horror back without the crappy PG-13 attempts of late. I'm dying to know what song was playing in the club scene in this episode. Is it called "Hot Model?" I can't find info on this ANYWHERE! This song has burrowed into my head like a curse and I must know who sings it.IMDb is pissing me off about some bullshit that my message has to have 10 lines or can't be submitted. So here let me ramble nonsense to satiate its stupid quota requirement. You needn't read this part. I might have mentioned that earlier, sorry.

I loved Jenifer, it was an eerie, sexual, bloody affair that was one of the best of the first season. Dario Argento (Suspiria, Opera, Deep Red, Tenebrae) makes another brilliant entry into the series. Packed with vicious gore, lesbians, a bunch of great actors and an incredibly eerie score Pelts is my favourite of the second season.Jake (Meat Loaf) is a sleazy fur trader who is desperate to succeed. He meets a stripper, Shana (Ellen Ewusie), who he desperately wants. He promises her the coat of her dreams, and fame as well. Unfortunately he the pelts he obtains (from farmer John Saxon) are cursed and what follows is a trail of death and revenge.This episode proves that Dario Argento is probably THE Master of Horror. He consistently makes provocative, in-your-face and horrifying movies and MOH episodes. The gore in this comes in bucket-loads and is always graphic and disgusting, the acting is quite good from all (especially Saxon) and the story moves along quite well. While watching this I sensed an underlying message about animals used for fur and if that is what he was going for he definitely achieved it.If there is a third season I hope they ask Argento back to horrify us once again! 5/5
