Claudio C In Flames (2023) One Movie That Should Have Never Been Made (11,697 –16 May 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) There are movies that should have never been made; the Pakistani Canadian “In Flames” (2023) is one of them. The storyline and the screenplay are completely messy and do not make any sense. The obnoxious characters are unlikable: Mariam is a twenty-five-year-old student apparently completing high school and preparing for medical school. However, she is a weird woman that left her date Asad dead on the road and only days later she looked for him at the hospital. And naïve, believing that Saleem is driving her to several places without any dark intention. Her brother Bilal is playing video games and watching television all the time, including in the funeral of his father (or grandfather?). Her mother Fariha is a clueless woman, signing documents for her estranged brother-in-law. Uncle Nasir is the worst character in the story, betraying his sister-in-law, nephew and niece. The locations are awful, showing the city of Karachi maybe in the poorest places. Last but not the least, their society is one of the most oppressive shown in a feature. The acting and the cinematography are very poor. My only question is how producers sponsored this movie. My vote is two. Title (Brazil): “Em Chamas” (“In Flames”) My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Aldis H This is called a horror movie, but the horror elements don't track. They're just tropes tossed in completely undeveloped and not scary. The social commentary stuff is pretty cool, and the movie redeems itself somewhat at the end, but in the meantime it's abysmally slow. There is maybe 25 minutes of story stretched to the crisp blackened endings of its life. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Dany C It delivers nothing it promisses.
