Evil vines that wrap around your body and suck your life, turning white flowers a black-red. Pods that are made to look like canopy beds, glowing under a neon-pink hue. A carousel horse that lifts you to the ceiling. Hologram lockets. A bride’s beaded headpiece that can move to cover her face, looking like if Hannibal Lecter shopped at Francesca’s. All of these vivid costumes, beautiful art direction, and a candy-color palette of pinks, purples, and greens almost save Paradise Hills, a dream-like tale about a rehab center for non-conforming girls.
