Synopsis:
When ancient parasites that thrive on hatred rise from beneath a small town, taking the most fearful and susceptible as hosts, a young trans filmmaker struggling to transition in increasingly hostile times for LGBTQ+ people, finds herself the only one who can sense the possessed, and rally the resistance before the horror escapes and spreads.
T BLOCKERS has received wide international and local success from screenings at Fantasia, Melbourne Queer Film Festival, Outfest and Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, receiving widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences alike for its authentic, smart, fresh and outrageous spin on the horror genre.
Filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay is a one-of-a-kind trans and neurodivergent woman with a cinematic output unrivalled in Australia, let alone at her age. She recently received the Outfest Los Angeles 2023 Special Programming Award for Emerging Talent
