Ten years later Brian (now played by Corbet) is a strange young man obsessed with UFOs. Meanwhile his former teammate Neil McCormick (Gordon-Levitt) is leading a very different life as a teenage hustler. Still haunted by the missing hours from his early years, Brian contacts Neil hoping he can give him some answers, and what he finds out is enough to ruin anyone's life. "Mysterious Skin" is based on the book by Scott Heim. While this movie has been praised by critics, the subject is extremely disturbing and is not for everyone, myself included. (Tricia Spears)
