If you loved The Reflecting Skin, try The Passion of Darkly Noon

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Philip Ridley, and they both carry the dread, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Reflecting Skin, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Passion of Darkly Noon is

Deep forest, late fall. An axe rings. A traumatized young man emerges from the wilderness, collapsing into the care of a free-spirited woman and her taciturn husband. His repressed desires soon surface with dangerous consequences. Philip Ridley's florid nightmare plays like a Southern Gothic fever dream.
