About This Movie

In My Mother's Skin dives into a haunting tale set against the backdrop of World War II in the Philippines. The atmosphere is thick with tension and despair, as a young girl grapples with her mother's frailty and the sinister allure of a fairy that preys on her vulnerabilities. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of the girl's emotional turmoil to sink in, while the practical effects bring a visceral quality to the horror elements. The performances are raw, capturing the innocence of youth clashing with the grotesque realities of survival. What sets this film apart is its unique blend of fantasy and horror intertwined with the backdrop of war, creating a compelling narrative about trust, sacrifice, and the darkness that lurks behind beauty.
