Dark Star Pictures releases THE SERPENT’S SKIN to select theaters beginning March 27 (see details below). The latest genre feature from 21-year-old director Alice Maio Mackay (T BLOCKERS, CARNAGE FOR CHRISTMAS), who scripted it with Benjamin Pahl Robinson, it stars Alexandra McVicker, Avalon Fast (director of HONEYCOMB and CAMP), Jordan Dulieu, Charlotte Chimes, Scott Major, Alyssa Peters and Lewi Dawson. The synopsis: “Twentysomething Anna [McVicker] leaves her small, transphobic hometown to start a new life in the city with her sister when she quickly finds herself face-to-face with Gen [Fast], a confident young woman she’d first seen in visions. Gen, Anna learns, has supernatural powers—powers that the two of them share. Their bond of magic and romance is threatened when Gen inadvertently unleashes a demon in Danny [Dulieu], Anna’s one-time fling and neighbor, and the mysterious evil begins targeting—and feeding on—everyone close to them.”
