Where the Skin Lies

About This Movie

Where the Skin Lies is an intriguing dive into the psychological horror genre, tinged with that unmistakable chill of isolation. Set against the haunting backdrop of the Scottish Lowlands, the film plays with the idea of trauma and how it binds people together— and then tears them apart. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and pacing feels deliberate, slowly peeling back layers of the characters' psyche. The practical effects are commendable, adding a raw, visceral quality to the unfolding horror. While the director remains unknown, the performances deliver a palpable sense of unease, making the viewer question what's real and what's a manifestation of their shared past. It's a distinctive piece that lingers long after the credits roll.

Atmospheric tension throughout · Strong themes of trauma and isolation · Effective use of practical effects
