Netflix viewers warn others about movie called 'Skins'
Just when you thought things couldn't get any weirder in 2020, some people, unfortunately, discovered this movie on Netflix.
I watched Skins on Netflix today. I do like how it ended and had a few laughs but I cannot recommend that tragedy of a movie to anyone tbh

Films serve as a fantasy world where you can escape from the real world for an hour or two.

Some movies are obviously more extreme in their creative direction but never have we heard of a movie that has pushed the boundaries as much as this Spanish film.
'Skins' ('Pieles' in Spanish) has caused some viewers to really regret their choices after watching it.

Originally released in 2017, 'Skins' has only now captured the attention of many unfortunate viewers.
The plot of the movie sounds interesting enough: "Deformed, disfigured characters must find a way to deal with society shunning their differences."

It even sounds super inspirational and would seem like a film that could be powerful and moving to watch.
Many of the characters have seemingly "plain" deformities like Laura, who has no eyes, or Ana, who has a tumour on her face.

But the character that REALLY got the attention of the viewers was Samantha.
Samantha has an inverted digestive system. This means that her mouth and bumhole have switched places.
It is just as crazy as it sounds.
I finally caved and watched Skins on Netflix and it was definitely something 😅

While we love the message behind the movie being one of acceptance and self-love, the graphic imaging does leave its mark.
Carol even decided to bite the bullet and watch the trailer so you don't have to!
You can watch her reaction below:
Once again, you can't say we didn't warn you. But we also can't stop you from watching it, if that's a risk you are willing to take.
