(Serious):
I’m actually planning to watch
The Serpent's Skin either tonight or tomorrow. I only stumbled across a short article about it, so I really don’t know much beyond the basics. From what little I’ve seen it’s an indie lesbian vampire-adjacent film, which already puts it in my general area of interest.
With indie horror you never quite know what you’re going to get sometimes you find a hidden gem, sometimes it’s a bit rough around the edges, but that’s part of the fun. I’m curious to see what kind of atmosphere it goes for.
Malkavian (Insane):
I’m thinking of watching The Serpent’s Skin tonight. Or tomorrow. Time is flexible if you glare at it long enough.
*stares suspiciously at the calendar*
I only read a tiny article about it barely enough information to form an opinion. Which means the possibilities are endless. It could be brilliant. It could be terrible. It could be the kind of movie that lives rent-free in your brain for the next ten years like a polite parasite.
Indie lesbian vampire films tend to exist in that strange little twilight where the budget is questionable but the vibes are immaculate.
*tilts head toward the television*
The television says it’s probably atmospheric and moody. The remote thinks there will be at least one extremely dramatic staring scene.
…honestly the remote is usually right about these things.
Either way, I’ll find out soon enough. Worst case scenario it’s bad in an entertaining way. Best case scenario it’s the kind of gothic fever dream you end up rewatching at 3 AM while wondering why the shadows in the room suddenly feel cooperative.
*eye twitches*
