In many ways, Skinless follows horror film conventions. After oncologist Peter Peel (Salkil) discovers a possible cure for skin cancer, he decides to test the cure on himself to convince an investor to start manufacturing the serum. Predictably enough, his experiment goes horribly awry and he turns into a “skinless” monster of sorts. While the plot doesn’t exactly have a lot of twists and turns, the characters are more developed than the stock ones you get in most b-movies. And the fact that director Dustin Mills pulled it off on a budget of only a few thousand dollars is all the more incredible. The film shows tonight at midnight at the Capitol Theatre. Tickets are $5.
