Editorial Reviews

Review

"Gimme Skelter features a dangerous, bloodthirsty 'family' traveling in a van who decide to outdo a previous notorious 'family' by slaughtering every person in a remote small town. The frenzied, gore-spattered battle between the family and the surprisingly rambunctious citizens over a long night make up the core of this entertaining thriller. Sly & energetic. 4 stars." - --John Oak Dalton, Micro-Cinema Scene

"A fine example of how imaginative a genre film can be... Gimme Skelter has thrills, chills, and slaughterhouse kills." - --Axel Howerton, EyeCraveDVD.com

"A refreshing psychic implosion of depravity!" - --Chainsaw Mafia

Product Description

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining horror/slasher kind of film, April 8, 2009

I'm no horror expert, but I thought this was a pretty good horror film. Yup, it's a lot of blood and boobs. If that's your thing, you'll like it. Entertaining, interesting premise, and kickass music/soundtrack.

3.0 out of 5 stars Indie blood and boobs, March 6, 2009

This review is from: GIMME SKELTER (DVD)

Probably a 2 star movie overall, but I am generally willing to give low budget indie films the benefit of an extra star. The flick starts a bit slowly, but when the action picks up, its a decent little slasher cult film (meaning cult of slashers, not cult classic). It's also got Gunnar Hansen. The world needs more Gunnar Hansen.

If you don't like your flicks on video, stay away. If you don't like low-budget production values, stay away. If you don't like blood and boobs, definitely stay away.

5.0 out of 5 stars I didn't expect it to be so good, July 8, 2008

Yes, I have seen this film and no, I am not affiliated with the production in any way. I bought a copy online at their web site a while ago because one of my "myspace friends," Elske McCain, has a small part in the film.

I didn't expect much, but I must admit that I really enjoyed watching it.

Apart from having a clever premise, the thing that really makes this film as entertaining as any big studio production is the cast. The characters are really well written with lots of personality and humor, and the actors do a fantastic job of fleshing out those characters. You really feel like you know these people and it's engrossing to watch them interact and do what they have to do. (Even when it's gross.)

Although it's low budget, it's not just "slash and gore." It's good, solid, enjoyable filmmaking.
