Based on the true story of the disappearance of teenager Elizabeth Buxton, In Her Skin is a haunting psychological thriller that explores the devastating impact of a young girl's vanishing on her family and community. The film follows fifteen-year-old Elizabeth (played by Kate Bell), a talented dancer whose life is upended when she goes missing in suburban Melbourne. Her parents, played by Guy Pearce and Miranda Otto, are plunged into a desperate search, their marriage strained by grief and the agonizing uncertainty of not knowing what happened to their daughter. As the investigation unfolds, the narrative shifts to focus on a troubled young woman named Caroline (portrayed by Ruth Bradley), whose own fractured life becomes inextricably linked to Elizabeth's fate. Directed by Simone North, the film masterfully builds a sense of creeping dread and unease, weaving together the perspectives of the victim's family and the perpetrator. With a stellar supporting cast including Sam Neill and Rebecca Gibney, In Her Skin is a deeply unsettling and emotionally charged drama that examines the nature of identity, obsession, and the lengths people will go to escape their own lives.
