Dark Star Pictures is set to unleash the highly anticipated slasher/horror film Satranic Panic on Digital and On Demand starting August 13, 2024. Directed by the prolific Alice Maio Mackay, this film is a bloody, demon-infested road trip that explores themes of identity and the power of chosen family, all while delivering a scathing critique of societal hypocrisy.
Satranic Panic has already garnered significant attention on the festival circuit, making its world premiere at the inaugural SXSW in Sydney and earning praise at Panic Fest and Salem Horror Fest. Dread Central hailed it as Maio Mackay’s “most ambitious story and style yet,” solidifying her reputation as a rising star in the horror genre.
At just twenty years old, Australian filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay has already directed five feature films, including So Vam (2021), Bad Girl Boogey (2022), T Blockers (2023), Satranic Panic, and the forthcoming Carnage for Christmas. As a transgender filmmaker, Maio Mackay is known for queering the horror genre with a unique blend of camp, comedy, and political commentary. Her previous films, So Vam and Bad Girl Boogey, are available for streaming on Shudder.
Satranic Panic promises to be a wild ride, featuring killer drag performances, sharp wit, and plenty of gore. Mark your calendars for August 13 when Satranic Panic hits digital platforms.
