EUROPEAN PREMIERE - 19-year-old transgender filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay is already one of the most exciting names in modern horror, with five features under her belt. So FrightFest is delighted to welcome the T BLOCKERS director back with another signature fun-gory, stylish shocker. When true-crime podcaster and sleuth Lola visits her hometown at Christmas for the first time since escaping and transitioning, the vengeful ghost of a historical murderer and urban legend seemingly arises to kill again. Lola must solve the case before her community is slaughtered. She's up against not only a psychotic killer but a town haunted by secret.
