albert 10th Aug 2016		Review What is THIS! its a film about childhood, and about traumas, nightmares and hideous unseen danger, and what is real and unreal. If this was a conventional thriller, you would have the gang of sick hoodlums raping and killing around the countryside while being pursued by the one-eyed sheriff who dispenses justice in his own way. But instead we follow Seth, through the eye of the storm, the gang making fleeting appearances and looking cool, the sheriff appears threatening and brings torment and anguish in his wake. Seth is withdrawn, has a difficult mother and hero-worships his brother, he thinks his neighbour is a vampire and she plays along with it, he finds a mummified baby and believes it is an angel. There is so much strangeness this could be mistaken for a David Lynch film, but it is unlike any other, the photography is astounding, the soundtrack sparse and just right, if there is a film guaranteed to polarise an audience this could be it, personally I love it. 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



albert 10th Aug 2016		Rejoice, The Reflecting Skin has finally had a proper release on DVD, with the director's involvement, so throw away your video tapes and dodgy foreign language versions. (Note that the DVD extras prove that no frogs were harmed during film making).
