Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

As a long time fan of Argento with his extremely stylish often ludicrously plotted films he frequently created some weird and brilliant cinematic moments in 'horror' film history. Admittedly, there were many moments where the brilliance didn't shine and even the most ardent fan will begrudgingly admit most of his films haven't aged too well. However, the sheer power of his set pieces and exquisite use of the cinematic medium in them more than compensates.Sadly, Pelts isn't vintage Argento. Not even close. In fact it's dreadful.You could show it to any Argento fan and they wouldn't recognise it as his work. Laboured, perfunctory direction at best and mainly not even that!. Any old hack could do it, and what's worse, probably better.Excellent special effects though and the sole reason for the 3 stars.

Looking back in my vaults of horror I came across the fabulous Masters Of Horror series. And they are indeed amazing. Back then I never reviewed stuff but I also came across season two and noticed I hadn't seen it. My best friend and horror buff told me to be ashamed of that fact and face it, it's summer so nothing is on the telee or at theatres. What else could a geek do then go back in time.I just picked one DVD out, Let it be this one. Immediately you are into the stories and this follows the same line. Masters Of Horror are known to indeed having the best horror directors on board and having some famous names from the genre in it. This time it's John Saxon as thespian and Dario Argento as director. And Dario doesn't go for a Giallo this time but for a gorefest. Somewhere I was a bit lost when the story slowly turned into a Stephen King look-a-like with the racoons looking through a window just like they had a 'Disney' life. Luckily it picked up strong again to end in a gory final. No boundaries were made, it do has some cruel gore made by the KNB boys and it looks fabulous. We also have a lot of nudity and nothing is cut. So far Imprint from season one was brought out cut in Europe but at this writing it's out there in Germany full uncut on Blu Ray.On part of the gore it has a strange feeling because when they are smashing heads or a head is being cut in pieces by a trap you can easily spot it was some rubber face. And the ending wasn't realistic at all but to be honest, somehow you take it. John Saxon looks great in his role as Jeb 'Pa' Jameson, face it, he was 71 then, I have seen him in flesh around that time and he was walking with sticks so go figure that one out.But for me Meat Loaf as Jake Feldman did an excellent job. What a great performance he gives here. Melissa Gonzalez (Mira) is the one who strips and is walking around naked a lot of times. But while walking in the flesh she not only looks great but performs great too. The end scene with her in the elevator when she got in trouble with her hand did remind me of Tenebre (1982), I don't know if it was a wink by Dario intended for the geeks out there or if I'm too deep into the genre. Nevertheless, this was an outstanding episode not that typical Dario but surely one to pick up. I wont go that far to say that Dario's entries in Masters Of Horror are a statement against animal abuse but there's a small message to catch for those wearing fur...Gore 3,5/5 Nudity 2,5/5 Effects 4/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

I loved this episode. I've become quite obsessed with the Masters of Horror series and the After Dark Horrorfest films. A huge thanks to everyone who strives to bring horror back without the crappy PG-13 attempts of late. I'm dying to know what song was playing in the club scene in this episode. Is it called "Hot Model?" I can't find info on this ANYWHERE! This song has burrowed into my head like a curse and I must know who sings it.IMDb is pissing me off about some bullshit that my message has to have 10 lines or can't be submitted. So here let me ramble nonsense to satiate its stupid quota requirement. You needn't read this part. I might have mentioned that earlier, sorry.

Like his previous "Masters Of Horror" effort, JENIFER (2005), this feels nothing like the typical Argento film; reportedly, however, his latest project – the much-anticipated (and long-awaited) THE THIRD MOTHER (2007) is a return to form of sorts for the Italian maestro. Anyway, PELTS again features a surprising emphasis on sex – with lead actor Meat Loaf shown being obsessed with a black stripper! While his role is too small, it was still nice to see an aged John Saxon re-united with the director (24 years after TENEBRE [1982]).The engaging plot provides the excuse for a simple enough message – "Be Careful What You Wish For" – but the level of gore (even if the make-up in some scenes leaves a lot to be desired) displayed throughout the episode is so extreme, to say nothing of outrageous, as to be amusing rather than repellent or disturbing! Sado-masochism is perhaps a logical step from fetishism, but there's no real explanation as to why the raccoon fur should have that effect on people who come into contact with it – unless a suggestion of black magic is intended with the presence of the old woman who owns the land on which the animal was hunted...
