Wiki.
Snakeskin is a 2001 New Zealand road thriller film directed by Gillian Ashurst. The story focuses on Alice (Melanie Lynskey) and her best friend Johnny (Dean O'Gorman), who embark on a road trip across New Zealand. Along the way they pick up an American hitchhiker named Seth (Boyd Kestner), who is on the run from a gang of skinheads (led by Oliver Driver) and a group of drug dealers.
Snakeskin screened at the 54th Cannes Film Festival, before opening in New Zealand cinemas on 11 October 2001. Critics praised its production values and acting, with Variety calling Lynskey's performance "excellent". The film won six New Zealand Film Awards in 2001. It has never had an official release in the US or the UK, but has played on television in both territories.
