THE SERPENT'S SKIN
This supernatural romance follows Anna (Alexandra McVicker, CASTRATION MOVIE ANTHOLOGY II) after she escapes from her small, transphobic town and develops a romantic relationship with another young woman, a goth tattoo artist named Gen (Avalon Fast, CASTRATION MOVIE ANTHOLOGY I). After unwittingly unleashing a demon that begins feeding on their friends, the pair need to face their insecurities in order to defeat evil. In her sixth feature film — at just 21 years old — Australian filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay delivers a stylish, visually resplendent ode to love and community that is unabashedly influenced by ‘90s genre classics like BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and THE CRAFT. Edited by Vera Drew (THE PEOPLE’S JOKER) and featuring a lo-fi aesthetic, THE SERPENT’S SKIN marks Mackay as an established genre filmmaker. (Note adapted from Dark Star Pictures).
