Skinner is a 1993 independent splatter / slasher film directed by Ivan Nagy and starring Ted Raimi, Traci Lords, Ricki Lake and Richard Schiff.

Synopsis

[edit]

Dennis Skinner is a likeable, decent-looking lad who, driven by a disturbing childhood, moonlights as a skid row slasher-style serial killer preying on sex workers, in-between those co-workers of his who despise him as he does in return. He "punishes" those he finds offensive, by flaying his victims alive. On his trail is Heidi (Traci Lords), a junkie prostitute who survived one of his brutal attacks and now desires revenge.
