T-Blockers

Alice Maio Mackay, the filmmaker behind So Vam and Bad Girl Boogey, is back with new movie T-Blockers, and a brand new red band trailer highlights the horror movie’s punk rock spirit with blood, violence, and parasites.

Dark Star Pictures releases T-Blockers on March 5, 2024.

Watch Bloody Disgusting’s exclusive red band trailer reveal below.

In the film, “In small-town Australia, a nightmare is brewing. Sophie is a young filmmaker obsessed with finding a thought-to-be long-lost film. Meanwhile, an earthquake unleashes ancient parasites in the area that thrive on hatred, causing outbursts of violence. Now Sophie and her friends, struggling with dating and their undesirable jobs, must also face off against an ancient evil that spreads like wildfire.”

Lauren Last, Lewi Dawson, Joe Romeo, Chris Asimos, Joni Ayton-Kent, Stanley Browning, and Lisa Fanto star.

“I am really excited to once again be partnering with Dark Star Pictures – this time for the North American release of T-Blockers, my third feature,” said Mackay previously.

“As both a 17-year-old (when the movie was made) and a trans woman, I wanted to create an empowering story that is ultimately about taking back, owning, and celebrating the right to be oneself!”

Because it’s worth reiterating, Mackay, who co-wrote the script with Benjamin Pahl Robinson, made her third feature film at the age of 17. The young filmmaker is quickly becoming prolific in the realm of horror.

Dark Star president Michael Repsch added “We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with Alice and unleashing her films on audiences. T-Blockers shows her evolution as an important creative voice, as she provides us with unflinching look at the trans experience while never relenting on the campy gore on screen. It plays like a film baby from Greg Araki and John Waters, raised by Larry Cohen.”

Alice Maio Mackay and Erin Paterson produced.
