SUMMARY:New Buffy-inspired Trans Erotic Horror THE SERPENT'S SKIN (2025) -- Friday Night WTF!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Night WTF screenings are cheap\, weird\, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces\, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests\, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night. \n\n\n\nJudging by THE SERPENT’S SKIN\, you would never guess director Alice Maio Mackay is only 20. The wunderkind filmmaker from Australia returns with her sixth feature—maybe you caught T Blockers at Hysteria Fest 2024?—and this one may be her best yet! Inspired by the WB-led golden age of fantasy TV\, Mackay’s atmospheric and erotic new movie pays vivid homage to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed by way of a witchy girl-on-girl love story. Alexandra McVicker stars as Anna\, a young trans woman with supernatural powers. Soon after leaving home to live with her sister\, Anna meets a seductive tattoo artist (Avalon Fast) who shares her cursed gift. Together they plot\, fuck\, and unleash their inner demons to the world. Think The Craft with more queer kissing and a visual style that finds the exact midpoint between Buffy and Mandy — thanks\, in part\, to The People’s Joker auteur Vera Drew\, who served as editor on the film. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Groundbreaking” \n\n\n\n\nAlice Maio Mackay’s film is a groundbreaking trans romantic horror film with a unique vision\, cementing her status as one of cinema’s brightest stars.10/10 \n\n\n\n\n\nScreen Rant \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Spellbinding” \n\n\n\n\nThe vibe is so\, so right. Anyone looking for an empowering\, forward-thinking\, and trippy watch will feel right at home slipping into this movie’s\, well\, skin. It’s quite literally spellbinding. \n\n\n\n\n\nNext Best Picture \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Sapphic Goth Girl Delights” \n\n\n\n\nAmid all the sapphic goth girl delights of the film\, there’s a clarion call for community and its importance for queer people”\, messy and imperfect as it may be. \n\n\n\n\n\nRogerEbert.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s Pride Month-long spotlight on queer cinema. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:Janice.Click presents I WAS A TEENAGE GARGOYLE (2026) + ZEBRA HOOVES (2026)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanice.Click returns for another double-shot of underground cinema insanity. Prepare yourself. \n\n\n\nI WAS A TEENAGE GARGOYLEDoyle the gargoyle recently found out his mom died. He doesn’t know who his father is. He has reasons to believe his mom slept with a statue gargoyle and that’s how he was made. Is he half Gargoyle or full Doyle? On his quest for self identity he runs into a cult leader. The cult leader is in charge of some sort of Spider Cult. LET THE SPIDERS CRAWL IN YOUR MOUTH. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZEBRA HOOVESA hypochondriac heads to the Wisconsin Dells to get out of his head and relax. He’s instructed by his doctor to record video diaries of his anxiety symptoms\, but soon finds something sinister in the Midwestern air—his own demons and a bad time. David Dawson (Leech) uses his unique “incel noir” style to tell a mature story about male loneliness\, mental health\, and the isolation of Middle America. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.
