Erick Massoto is a senior news writer and film critic for Collider. He specializes in thriller movies and TV, satire news shows and anime series.
The Big Picture The twist at the end of the trailer for In Flames revealed that the Pakistani thriller featured an element that lurked at the corners of the story. In a new clip that Game Theory Films has shared exclusively with Collider, however, we find out that there's more to this haunting threat than meets the eye. Set in Karachi, the movie centers around Mariam a young girl who descends into a spiral of grief after the death of her grandfather.
The clip that Collider can now share with you is precisely about that "watching" part. In the scene, Mariam is having a good time at the beach with a fellow student named Asad . It's pretty clear that some feelings are coming up for both of them. However, at the end of the clip, we're presented with the figure that seems to be observing Mariam from a distance all the time.
In Flames became a standout at last year's Toronto International Film Festival not only because of its top-tier thriller narrative but also because it used horror to showcase the... well, horrors that women face in Pakistan when it comes to agency and having their voices heard. The story highlights the fragile rights that women have over property, and how easy it is for men to come over and take what they own when the time comes to pass on valuable assets.
'In Flames' Is A Must-Watch For Film Buffs The movie is also a stellar debut from Zarrar Kahn. The filmmaker was instantly selected to make the list of the prestigious Director’s Fortnight out of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Additionally, the movie was the official selection of Pakistan to compete for the Best International Film category at this year's Oscars, but the movie ended up not making it to the final five entries.
In Flames can also be an excellent companion to other popular titles from 2023. Since the thriller from Pakistan challenges patriarchal society, it speaks directly with the themes of Oscar winner Poor Things and even Barbie.
