Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Smoreni Zmaj A film, which tries to cover complete lack of at least decent plot with plenty of gore, so extremely disgusting that it will turn your stomach inside out. But apart from explicit butchery and leading actress, who is almost completely naked almost all the time, this movie has nothing to offer. Stupid, even within the genre which by default does not rely on a quality of a story. Lack of good story could be easily forgiven to a horror flick, but this one also lack any tension, suspension, fright or good acting. It has nothing but tons of blood.5/10

gridoon2018 I have not seen any other "Masters of Horror" episodes so far, so I can not compare "Pelts" to them. But I have seen some Dario Argento films, and this is the worst thing he has directed that I have seen. There is no trace of Argento the stylist; any hired hack could have made this. The story, the production values, the dialogue ("It's too big"....nuff said), the casting (John Saxon is offed after 5 minutes of screen time)....everything screams grade-Z, direct-to-DVD exploitation. It's also one of the goriest horror shows ever (it goes beyond "Hellraiser" levels of gore). The KNB-supervised special effects are indeed well-done, but "Pelts" has nothing to offer besides its three or four disgusting set pieces (better see this one on an empty stomach....or preferably not at all). * out of 4.

melvelvit-1 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!

Witchfinder General 666 If there is one man on this planet who deserves the title "Master Of Horror" it is doubtlessly the great Dario Argento. The genius behind masterpieces such as "Profondo Rosso", "Suspiria", "The Bird With The Crystal Plumage", "Phenomena", "Tenebre" and others is doubtlessly one of the greatest Horror directors who ever lived (to me personally, he's one of the greatest directors ever, regardless of genre), and it is therefore no wonder that his entries to the "Masters Of Horror" series were those I was most looking forward to (which is probably the case with most Horror fans). His contribution to the first season, "Jennifer" was an incredibly creepy and deliciously demented little film that ranked among the best episodes in the first season, but I personally liked "Pelts" even more. After Takashi Miike's "Imprint" (Season 1, Episode 13), "Pelts" is arguably my second-to-favorite entry to the "Masters Of Horror" series. While the premise of the MoH series, and the 1 hour Runtime does not allow Argento to build up his brilliant mysteries (be it with supernatural elements, such as in "Suspiria" and "Phenomena" or without, such as in his Giallo-masterpieces), Argento still delivers genuinely creepy and purely ingenious Horror. In "Pelts" it is a curse that has been placed upon the pelts of a rare raccoon species that brings Horror into the life of the sleazy fur-trader Jake Feldman(Meat Loaf Aday)... I do not want to give away too much, but I can assure that this episode delivers about everything one could desire in a "Masters of Horror" episode - Genuine creepiness, extreme gore and brutality, a very morbid sense of Humor, lots of female nudity, a sublime atmosphere and a great cast. Rockstar Meat Loaf Aday has given proof of his acting skills on several occasions by now, and he fits perfectly in his role here. Horror lovers, however, will be even more delighted to see cult-actor John Saxon in a supporting role. The female cast members are entirely hot, especially the lesbian stripper that Feldman is obsessed with. Overall, this bizarre and genuinely nasty episode is yet another proof that Argento is an absolute master of atmosphere and creepiness, and one of the most highly recommendable entries to the "Masters Of Horror" series.
