Review of Pelts

Masters of Horror: Pelts (2006)
Season 2, Episode 6
7/10
Best of a cheesy series.

I love these MOH episodes, except for one thing - why why why why why are they so terribly acted? These are some of our most prolific and talented horror auteurs at the helm here, and I have yet to watch one episode that doesn't feel like an old "Freddy's Nightmare's" or worse.

Argento's "Pelts" is at least horrifically gory. I mean really really gory. Like, over-the-top brilliantly gory.

Are these horror director idiot-savants? Are they just exceptionally talented when it comes to inventing new ways to kill someone, but completely incapable of directing an actor to be natural? Argento should stick with these hour-long creepies and stay away from the feature circuit for a while. His last few movies were deplorable, but his MOH shorts are some of the series' highlights.
