After the death of their daughter, the Hughes family decide to move to their isolated cottage to try and rebuild their life together. They soon find their patience quickly tested by the overly friendly advances of their neighbours - a family that bear a striking resemblance to themselves. Starring Selma Blair, In Their Skin will shred your nerves, haunt your mind and definitely make you think twice about inviting people to dinner ever again. (Koch Media)

No, this isn't a film I'd enjoy. Funny Games is much better and more intense in this respect. Here, I didn't even have that feeling; I didn't have the desire to look elsewhere because the family was suffering immensely. I didn't really care what happened to them. Perhaps the death of a child or something would liven it up, but this just isn't a film about cruelty, it's just a film that thinks it's about cruelty.

Zero originality, but very solidly executed. A solid thriller that doesn’t deliver any surprises, but has a good atmosphere, cold visuals and villains who are downright nasty, especially in the first half, before their evilness shows up. They played that hidden insanity with panache. :-)
