Independent British distributors Soda Pictures have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Philip Ridley's film The Reflecting Skin (1990), starring Viggo Mortensen, Lindsay Duncan, and Jeremy Cooper. The release will be available for purchase on November 30.
Synopsis: Seth is a mischievous eight-year-old growing up in the harsh realities of 1950's rural Idaho. He lives at home with his strict mother and guilt-ridden father, helping at the family gas station and waiting for his brother, Cameron (Mortensen), to return from the Pacific. But his whole world changes the day he decides the widowed neighbor woman, Dolphin Blue (Duncan), is a vampire. Inspired by his father's stories, Seth begins to believe that she is responsible for the terrible events happening around him. His obsession continues to grow when Cameron comes home . . . and falls head over heels for his worst enemy.
