Critics Consensus

Conjuring fear with its sense of encroaching unease instead of cathartic jolts, In Flames is an exemplary horror film with something profound to say about the oppression of women.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

The many textures and mysteries don’t always fit together. Indeed, the movie is better when it trades in real-world patriarchal controls and abuses rather than things that go bump in the night.

Rated: 3/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

In Flames raids the box of generic horror tropes but fails to generate any notable scares. Instead, Pakistani-Canadian director Zarrar Kahn’s feature debut musters a vaguely brooding sense of unease.

Rated: 3/5

Kevin Wight

The Wee Review

The themes of <i>In Flames</i> are stark and blunt, the execution anything but. It’s a slippery and hallucinatory experience that never lets its ghostly trappings overpower the very real dangers it depicts.

Rated: 4

In Flames is a compelling portrayal of the lives of Pakistani women and the ghosts that haunt them in a male-driven society.
