''Winterskin'' is a {{Thriller}} [[HorrorFilms Horror Movie]] by Charlie Steeds.

Billy Cavanagh (David Lenik) is a man who's out one winter hunting with his dad Russell (Peter Cosgrove) when he comes across a derelict cabin in the woods. Not heeding his dad's advice to stay close, Billy approaches the house, and is promptly shot in the leg and loses consciousness.

When he comes to, he finds his leg is bandaged, and he's in the company of an old woman named Agnes (Rowena Bentley), who lives in the house with her [[CanineCompanion dog]], King. She informs him that he needs to stay in the cabin and recover before he's in any condition to leave. He also comes to learn that, apparently, there's some mysterious but violent creatures out there who resemble [[FlayedAlive men with no skin]], and that if he tries to leave, he'll be killed by them. So, Billy has no choice but to stay.

The film was released on November 10th, 2018.
