Review of The Reflecting Skin (1990) by Visitorq S — 07 Nov 2010

Filled to the brim with an odd mix of disturbing drama and near surreal events, much too mature for a child to face, but it's all within the perspective of a child! Rest assured, the kid protagonist doesn't annoy and can actually act his parts, as well as the other child participants.

From exploding frogs to aborted fetuses used as a child's talkative companion, to teenage pedophiles on the prowl, this is pretty much the atypical farm storyline, but an honest, adult sense of realism stays on the flip side of things so as to not make things appear too absurd.
