A descent into darkness that will swallow you whole, In My Mother’s Skin is a beautiful and brutal work of historical horror with visuals that will echo through your mind.
True to classic folklore, this is a story that delivers fantasy and queasiness in equal measure.
Seek out In My Mother’s Skin, only if you wish to experience a grim, old-timey fairy tale. This one is guaranteed to give you nightmares.
“In My Mother’s Skin” finds a rare sweet spot between story-book nightmare and historical allegory.
A well-executed, unusual and historically-tinged horror [film] ... drenched in the atmosphere of Second World War colonial dread.
When a horror movie goes out of its way to make its viewers feel as terrible as “In My Mother’s Skin” does, then that movie might just as well make feeling terrible worth it. Dagatan’s eye for gnarly practical and CG effects is buttressed by solid visual sensibilities, occasionally hamstrung by stray washed-out nighttime sequences, and wicked morality.
While the atmosphere, visual effects, and camerawork keep tensions high, the plot begins to wear thin.
