Taking the slasher out of the hands of the Reaganite 80s mentality of punishment and violence and turning it into a powerful and resonant allegory for the struggles of the LGBTQ+ community, and all of those who are hated and outcast; visionary teenage director Alice Maio Mackay returns to Soho Horror Fest with her sophomore feature. 

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.
