Sadly, no skin is eaten in "I Eat Your Skin," but that's still a much better title for this low budget stinkeroo than its alternate, "Zombies."
Filmed for what looks to be about five dollars, "Skin" tells the tale of a playboy writer who's whisked away by his agent to a jungle island where stories of strange going on abound, in the hopes that the writer will be inspired to compose his next bestseller. Once there, they find...you guessed it....freaked out zombies made so by some sort of scientific experiments being conducted by the wealthy man who lives on the island and serves as host to the writer and his posse.
The handsome but completely unknown (to me at least) actor William Joyce plays the writer and delivers some beefcake eye candy to the ladies in a couple of shirtless scenes. But there's not much of a compelling reason for the rest of us to watch, unless it's to make fun of a bad movie.
And oy vay does this movie do nothing for 1960s civil rights. All of the black people in the movie are either oogie-boogie savages, zombies, or zombie accomplices. Martin Luther King, please look the other way.
Grade: D
