Under The Terminator's Skin

The unnerving score of Under the Skin combined with The Terminator. I thought that both the scene and score selection was spot on and fit well together, that the narrative was clear, and that the chase scenes actually had more tension to them than they did in the original. Only critique, fairly minor: I would've spent a little less time on the final chase to allow for more plot before then.

As a huge fan of Mica Levi's score, and both films, I was excited to watch this. It lived up to what I expected. An introspective, stark, but definitely coherent short narrative (with an incredible score) about a Terminator hunting it's prey. Great work! Thanks for sharing!

Terminator 1 is the first movie I ever watched, still remember the old VHS I used to rewatch a million times as a kid (with the sex scene expertly taped over with Horlicks commercials by my dad). This edit does a great job of summarizing the film into 15 mins by using ingenious cutting techniques and great scene selection. I love the foley/original audio tracks being so clear, not sure if they were recreated or if it was a clear center channel, but it sounds pitch perfect. The new music is good, certainly appropriate for the atmosphere and is a worthy alternative to Fidel's iconic score.

All in all, a great edit to revisit for a fan, an a very interesting alternate look at T1. Nice work!!

I absolutely loved this. Great re-telling of the Terminator with a brand new eerie soundtrack which gives it a completely different tone which is more akin to horror than sci-fi action. Strangely, I was reminded of "Drive". But perhaps that was synesthesia at work.

Audio/Video Quality: 6
Not terribly good, a bit blocky and compressed but in a way that added to the grungy feel.

Visual Editing: 10
Genius. Seemlessly taking footage from all across the film and splicing it all together into one chase sequence. If this was my first watch I'd never guess that hadn't always been like this. I loved the "nasty" looking saturated Grindhouse feel to it all.

Audio Editing: 8
The new music was a superb and refreshing change lending this an avant-garde style. I'd have liked much more added SoundFX though because when it was used, it was awesome. e.g. the running-down-the-alley sequence; It sounded like both a Grindhouse soundtrack and the dream-like artificial soundtracks of Sergio Leone.

Narrative: 9
There isn't much character but that didn't matter as I like Sarah and Kyle already from countless views of the source... but the simple chase-narrative worked a treat.

Enjoyment: 8
With HD visual to show off the new colour-timing and filmFX and more of the same great added soundwork this would be a 10/10. It's still a hell of a ride though!
