Phantom Pain Films is pleased to announce the midnight theatrical debut of Indie Horror Film Skinless, the newest micro-budget film from indie horror auteur Dustin Mills (The Puppet Monster Massacre, Bath Salt Zombies, Easter Casket) in Cleveland, March 8th 2014 at the Cedar Lee Theatre (2163 Lee Rd., Cleveland Heights, Ohio) and March 15th at the Capitol Theatre (1390 W. 65th St., Cleveland, OH).
Produced for only $2,000, Skinless follows brilliant oncologist Peter Peel as he discovers a possible cure for skin cancer in the belly of an exotic parasite. When he tests the cure on himself his world is shattered and a monster is born. Skinless is a sad tale of madness, murder, monsters, and love.
Writer/director Dustin Mills and cast members Brandon Salkil, Erin R. Ryan (Babysitter Massacre), Allison Fitzgerald, and Dave Parker (Adjust Your Tracking) will be in attendance at the Cedar Lee Theatre screening for an audience Q&A. Mills will be in attendance at the Capitol Theatre screening for a Q&A.
“Skinless is a horror film that delivers exactly what genre fans want” says Dave Huffman programmer for Cleveland Cinemas’ Melt Bar and Grilled Late Shift. “I was impressed by what Dustin accomplished on a very modest budget.”
“Seeing my movie released in theaters has always been a dream. Its kind of crazy to me that its finally happening,” says writer/director Dustin Mills.
Skinless is the first theatrical release by Phantom Pain Films, a new distribution company focusing on releasing Indie Horror Film, sci-fi and exploitation films. “Our mission is to release unique works often overlooked by the mainstream markets and media,” says Phantom Pain Films owner Matthew Dilts-Williams, “We are dedicated to preserving the theatrical experience by bringing truly independent cinema to the big screen.”
Skinless will be expanding to other venues throughout the country following its Cleveland premiere.
