I wish somebody could explain to me what I just watched.I have NO idea what this movie was suppose to be about.The only thing I know is that this movie was WEIRD!!! Every single person in The Reflecting Skin seemed to have mental problems or some issues they were dealing with.If you like WEIRD movies then this is the movie for you.I only watched The Reflecting Skin because it was listed under Horror.I don't know what type this movie should be listed under but it should not be Horror.There was nothing scary or horrifying about it.It was just...... WEIRD!!!

This is one....odd...movie. Too strange for its own good, its even hard to tell what's really happening plot-wise (if you like reading between the lines then by all means, this is the movie for you). I can't say it's a bad film, although I'm sure many people out there would think it was. Its worth a look if you really want something weird to entertain you from the boring realities of life, want to be shocked, would like to see what a group of kids do when they find an abandoned fetus, or need that extra kick to make your shrooms effective.
