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.
