action
The two unsuccessful film producers Ben and Daniel put their last belongings into the shooting of an erotic film that should finally lead to a big breakthrough. Her hopes rest on her leading actress, a well-known US porn star - Sasha Blue.
The filmmakers even make a deal with the brutal and unpredictable underworld king, Lederkalle, just to get their project done. What nobody suspects: Evil has existed in Sasha's hotel room since an exorcism that went wrong! In a painting there is a diabolical incubus waiting for the right victim to free himself from the picture. Even the first moments of the shooting turn unexpectedly into a bloody situation that completely upsets the filmmakers. Back at Sasha's hotel the struggle for survival begins. Her superstar behaves so crazy and insane that the two brothers knock her out and tie her to the bed. At the latest when Sasha begins to float, the boys realize that they need "professional" help. Only an exorcism can now solve the problem. In the last resort, the boys call the preacher for help, who has already dealt with an exorcism in the hotel in the past. In order to drive the ghost out of the porn actress, the preacher begins a special and unusual ritual of driving out devils.
Sasha Blue turns into a demon. A short time later, this demon manages to free himself from the priest's bonds and attack the exorcist when Lederkalle suddenly enters the hotel room. Lederkalle has its own agenda and completely misunderstands the situation at hand. During a fight with the preacher, Ledererkalle stumbles into a magical protective circle that the preacher had created for the exorcism. Lederkalle's head explodes due to the magical power of this circle, and he goes straight to hell. There, Ledererkalle frees Sasha's soul body from the clutches of the demon. So Sasha is finally saved and comes to in the hotel room.

Reviews
The film received mostly mixed reviews.
“Skin Creepers is one of those films that is a lot better than it should be. With little money, Ezra Tsegaye develops wonderful nonsense, which with high gag density and a few really good ideas becomes an insider tip for the next (beer-loving) film evening. "
“Realized independent production halfway between comedy and horror for little money. The special effects, which are quite solid for the budget, hardly make up for the shortcomings in terms of performance and production. "
"All due respect, the visual effects are really impressive when things like hell break out towards the end ... A deliberate trash film that turned out to be too talkative and ultimately offers nothing new for horror cinema."
