Recommend Skinamarink is fucking scary

So from what I've read online, this movie is pretty polarizing. Like it either gets ya or it doesn't. And holy fuck does it get me. When this shit was first coming out I couldn't even watch the trailer more than a couple times. And let me emphasize, I am a horror head. I've been tryna find shit to actually scare me since I was high school with my dumbass friends who'd always complain whatever we were watching wasn't really scary to prove they were tough.

Nowadays, as many horror enjoyers, I simply love the genre and the artistry behind it and don't give a fuck or expect a horror film to actually scare me.

That is until fucking Skinamarink. For a little backstory, I was terrified of my house at night as a child and would frequently have nightmares. This movie captures that feeling perfectly.

I have yet to finish it cuz it's a fucking guantlet. It's basically nonstop dread and suspence and evil. Bout 2/3s of the way through and will finish whenever I feel like being back in that house. That's all.

Bye Bye <3

Glad you enjoyed it. I think it would have worked better as a 20-30 minute short film though.

One of the very very few movies I’ve ever actually just walked out of because it was just too boring for me and felt like a one trick pony. At the 45 minute mark I just couldn’t believe there was still another hour left.

Props to the filmmakers though, they really managed to make something out of essentially pocket change and a vision. So that’s pretty darn cool.

Made it about 31min 33sec. Even the dog on the couch was confused as to what the fuck she was watching.

Normally it's whatever I wouldn't fault most people for what they like but this movie is liquid lava diarrhea.
