Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title references shedding skin like a snake—deeply rooted in African diasporic spiritual traditions of rebirth and ancestral connection, subverted here into body horror.
Dupere and Palmer specifically cast a dark-skinned lead to confront colorism within Black horror, where lighter skin often dominates 'palatable' narratives of Black pain.
