Flowers in the Mirror

About This Movie

Flowers in the Mirror is a pretty intriguing piece from Taiwan, blending action and horror in a way that's not all that common. The pacing feels a bit off sometimes, but there’s a certain charm to its unevenness. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can really see the practical effects at work, which gives it a raw edge that digital effects often can’t replicate. The performances are a mixed bag – some deliver a really gripping intensity, while others feel a tad melodramatic. Still, there's something about the way it handles its themes of identity and transformation that leaves an impression. It’s definitely a curious film that adds an interesting layer to any collection focused on international horror.
