Skin Collector (2012)
It's taken nine years for this serial killer film to get a release on these shores and i'm pleased it's finally arrived.
Whilst it's not in the same league as the best of the genre it's still a worthwhile addition. Starring John Jarratt as a killer who targets Danielle Harris whilst Casper Van Dien and Rae Dawn Chong are the detectives trying to track him down.
Although it's not exactly thrilling it always engages and throws up a surprise or two. Unfortunately the script at times is a let down with some clunky exposition as the detectives basically explain everything to one another or should i say to the viewer such as what a garrotte is. However there's some fun gore on offer and the finale is a gripper.
A final verdict would be that Skin Collector is occasionally flawed but entertaining all the same.
