This Movie Guy Headline Animator  Tuesday, April 5, 2011    The
Incredible Meltin Man is a 1977 sci-fi horror film directed by
William Sachs. The film opens on a NASA mission around Saturn.
The crew of a small pod have to pass through the rings of Saturn
before they can make their journey home, but something goes awry
as they pass through the rings, sending radiation throughout
their spacecraft. Fast-forward... I don't know how much time,
and we find Steve West (Alex Rebar), the crew's only survivor,
strapped to a hospital bed. As he awakes, he breaks free from
his bonds and tears the bandages off his face to reveal that his
skin is melting off his bones (seriously, you can't make this
stuff up). Steve breaks out of the hospital, much to the chagrin
of his doctor and longtime friend Ted Nelson (Burr DeBenning)
who, with the help of General Michael Perry (Myron Healey), goes
to search for Steve before he can kill too many people.  I was
recommended this film after writing my review for Killer Klowns
from Outer
