The Reflecting Skin
"Sometimes terrible things happen quite naturally"
The Reflecting Skin is one of the more unique horror movies I've been exposed to. Almost too bizarre for its own good, it blends a fantasy of vampirism, child sexual abuse and miscreant behavior into an astonishing tale of childhood wonder in a dark situation.
A group of children become obsessed with a strange lady who lives down the road (Dolphin Blue, played by Lindsay Duncan) and their fascination leads to pranks which borderline on torment. The entire film is gripping and macabre, bringing to light the essence of the innocence and naivete of youth, and the brutal reality of what results it can produce under strange conditions.
I can't really give a fair description of this film, as it almost defies description. I'll just give it my recommendation. I can almost guarantee that it will stay with you for one reason or another. Unfortunately, it has no current R1 release. Fortunately, as with Felidae, you can watch it on Youtube in parts.
