DVD Review: ‘In Their Skin’ Rips Off Michael Haneke, Tacks on Sentimental Finale
Submitted by mattmovieman on March 20, 2013 - 9:35amCHICAGO – I may never know how “In Their Skin” came into being, but I have a pretty good theory. Screenwriter/star Josh Close was so appalled by the unapologetic bleakness of Michael Haneke’s “Funny Games” that he took it upon himself to make the exact same movie, more or less, but with a much happier ending. It’s a noble effort but every bit as pointless as Rod Lurie’s proudly non-misogynistic remake of “Straw Dogs.”
