Reflexes

About This Movie

Reflexes is a peculiar mix of drama, horror, and romance that seems to twist in on itself. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as we follow this girl navigating her bizarre affliction. The growth in her mouth—quite a striking practical effect, by the way—serves as a metaphor for her struggles, both internal and external. It’s a slow burn, but with a pace that feels deliberate, almost suffocating. The performances are raw, capturing a sense of desperation and isolation that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s not your typical horror flick; it’s layered, exploring themes of communication and fear in a uniquely unsettling way. Definitely one of those films that gets under your skin.
