"Skin is definitely a slow burn film. The pay off may not come quickly, but writer Ben Collins and director Ben Wheatley manage to keep a sense of dread and suspense going that keeps things entertaining." - Robert Avery, San Jose Mercury
"Katherine Langford and Evan Peters both excel in their leading roles here in this small scale Invasion of the Body Snatchers-esque isolated horror film. The story definitely moves slower than it really needed to and it leaves some questions unanswered in the end, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't entertained." - Chrissy Lane, Manhattan Mercury
"While some thrillers waste their time getting to the point, Ben Collins' SKIN get there to a brushful pace. Wheatley's directional tone tries to make up for any short comings, but the film is too quick to the twist and instead left me with a different response to these type of films. "Like "what wasn't this just a short for Alter?" kind of response. Loved the cast but the script kills itself before they actually have anything to do." - Aubrey-Jade Mitchell, The Sun
