Skinner is a 1993 independent splatter / slasher film directed by Ivan Nagy and starring Ted Raimi, Traci Lords, Ricki Lake and Richard Schiff.

Dennis Skinner is a handsome, likeable young man who is secretly a skid row slasher-style serial killer preying on sex workers.

On his trail is Heidi (Traci Lords), a junkie prostitute who survived one of his brutal attacks and now desires revenge.

[1] Skinner initially premiered at the MIFED Film Festival in Milan from October 24-29, 1993 and was released two years later in United States on home video on July 12, 1995 in both R-rated and unrated versions.

[5][6] Bloody Disgusting did a retrospective on Skinner in 2023, stating that "With a little narrative direction, a few cut scenes (maybe one character completely) and a better ending, the film could have reached the cult status of something like William Lustig’s Maniac.

"[7] Dread Central also reviewed the movie, noting that they found the dialogue and murder scenes disappointing but that "Despite some of these shortcomings, the film is highly entertaining and shockingly well done for a picture shot in around two weeks with little money.
