The subgenre queer horror is something that is providing more and more products every new year that goes. Movies that center on classic themes like supernatural events, murderings, monsters, and all that stuff we all love but giving a focus on the queer community, which has been so often pushed aside when it comes to portraying characters. And the horror slasher Bad Girl Boogey (2022) is another good example.
The movie follows Angel whose mother was brutally murdered one Halloween night when blood was shed by a deranged killer wearing 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.
This is the new movie by the young transexual filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay, in the duties of co-writer and director, better known for being behind the horror So Vam (2021), available on Shudder. Benjamin Pahl Robinson is the co-writer and producer of the film.
The main cast in Bad Girl Boogey (2022) is formed by Lisa Fanto, Prudence Cassar, Steven Nguyen, Toshiro Glenn, Lewi Dawson, Georgie Cufone, Chris Asimos, Emma Bleby, Kate Bonney, Vincent Donato, Molly Ferguson, and a voiceover cameo from horror icon Bill Mosley.
The movie had its world premiere at the Popcorn Frights Film Festival on August 21, 2022, where it received a positive reception, followed by screenings at Monster Fest and Salem Horror Film Festival. Dark Star Pictures has the distribution rights for the film and will release it on digital platforms on July 4 and DVD release on July 11. Select theaters will also screen the film from July 7.
