synopsis

Serpent’s Skin gives us what we all need in our troubled times: a movie about trans witches, vampires and demon tattoos that references Buffy, The Craft and David Lynch in equal measure! Made by a 20-something filmmaker whiz who already directed six indie, no-budget features, Serpent’s Skin is both cathartic horror and the ultimate queer hangout film. In what other movie do witches with psychic powers burn TERF propaganda flyers?

Emotionally honest and algebraically stylish, Maio Mackay is a filmmaker the entire industry should watch in the coming years. But her latest purple-hued feature demands the attention of hot, tattoo-having, “Buffy”-loving, “Charmed”-binging, queer horror fans right now.
