In Flames may be marketed as a horror film, but, in actuality, it is so much more than that. Indeed, for a film that's currently making its global festival run — it made its world premiere at Cannes earlier this year before arriving at the Toronto International Film Festival for its North American premiere — horror fundamentally serves as a universal entry point for audiences who might be watching a Pakistani film for the first time. Once seated, audiences will find that while In Flames fulfills its promise of thrills, it also offers a story brimming with heart.
