Fresh off the horror movie So Vam, which played at last year’s virtual Salem Horror Fest, we’re excited to let you know that Alice Maio Mackay is back with a brand new horror movie.
The 17-year-old transgender filmmaker has wrapped production on a new queer horror slasher film following the world premiere of her jury winning feature debut, So Vam.
Titled Bad Girl Boogey, the movie “takes the slasher out of the hands of the Reaganite 80s mentality of punishment and violence and turns it into a powerful and resonant allegory for the struggles of the LGBTQ+ community, and all of those who are hated and outcast,” Mackay states on the film’s IndieGoGo campaign.
In the film, “One Halloween, blood was shed by the wearer of a parasitic mask cursed with black magic and bigotry. Sixteen years later, when Angel’s best friend is slaughtered by a killer with the same mask, they must overcome their personal struggles, fight their fear, and find the masked killer before he, or it, slaughters everyone they hold dear.”
Alice Maio Mackay directs a screenplay co-written by Ben Pahl Robinson and lensed by cinematographer and editor Aaron Shuppan. As the recipient of a George A. Romero Fellowship, Mackay is being mentored by director Jenn Wexler (The Ranger) and has received support from Salem Horror Fest director Kay Lynch as executive producer.
“Alice’s talent would be remarkable for a filmmaker of any age, but considering all that she has accomplished this early in her career, it makes us deeply proud and extremely excited to watch her continue to grow and inspire others,” Lynch said in a statement to BD.
Bad Girl Boogey features a voice-over performance by Bill Moseley.
