This one comes both Riffed and Un-Riffed, if you'd prefer.
On Prime, you get the Rifftrax Version, but on Tubi you have the regular Version of...
What is it?
Why is it doing this?
Well, in some sort of vague time (the Film might be set in the 1920s...maybe), an older woman shows up at a B&B.
Why is it doing this?
Yes, the Demon decided to disguise itself as a Karen.
She begins to target everyone in the House. Her goal- get them to give up their soul (by way of a vague deal to 'give anything'). It's worse than Wishmaster rules!
The first victim just wants to 'prove that Demons are real,' so he calmly lets her take off her skin suit (off-camera, since Full Moon) and she then stitches all of his skin off (in a truly awful CG effect that they linger on).
I guess he has no bones then?
The next victims require my work, since this Film has really bad pacing.
I guess he has no bones then?
One is secretly a lesbian (classy, guys!), while another gives up their soul to live...which is just bad foresight, really.
It's all very *yawn* exciting.
Throughout it all, everyone kind of acts dumb or just buys the worst excuses.
At best, you can give them credit for setting up one turn later...but they also make it a bit obvious, thus giving away the eventual twist.
C+ for the attempt.
It all comes down to a big showdown to the Religious Guy and Innocent Maid (who was part of the aforementioned setup earlier).
It's Full Moon (produced, at least) so there come...evil paper dolls. No, really.
To see how it all plays out, stream the Film (I recommend the Riffed Version).
It's honestly not a bad idea on paper. It just suffers from many odd choices made, a confusing Setting and a lack of Budget to make it all work.
The Film feels like a 30-40 minute Twilight Zone/Night Gallery Segment made into a full Film. To get that long, we get some loooong Scenes that drag and lots of set-up. They go to some dark places, so don't think that this Film called Stitches that features a killer Demon is, you know, family-friendly. Of course, the same Film that features attempted rape (with some deception involved on both sides of it), also tries to feature a woman coming to accept her lesbian attraction as temptation, so...not handling things well.
As a Horror Film, it tries and fails to deliver the goods. As a quite-literal Morality Play, it kind of works. It's Full Moon produced, so don't expect anything big, deep or...even what is featured on this alternate Poster. They can't afford that demon effect!
A Film that could easily be a TV Horror Segment (on something like Creepshow). They just made it too long and too cheaply as a Feature.
