The Serpent's Skin is a fast-paced film that

The Serpent's Skin is a fast-paced film that captures a dreamlike-indie feel that plays out like a YA novel come to life. Alice Maio Mackay has once again tapped into themes of finding strength in being an outsider and the importance of finding and protecting your community. The film has some intriguing imagery and beautiful shots, some of them reminiscent of an Italian horror. The soundtrack featuring H6LLB6ND6R is perfect as well. The pacing of this film, which as mentioned is fast, both helps and hurts the film. While there is very little lag or dullness, there's also moments the film seems to move too far ahead and not flesh out details or character development. While this feels intentional, perhaps to capture the YA novel feel, it can feel as though aspects such as relationships move at an unrealistic pace. Overall this was an interesting watch and a worthy sixth installment for Mackay. Fans of I Saw the TV Glow, teen dramas, RL Stine and Christopher Pike must watch.
