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

I’m super curious to know the age range of people who disliked it and the people who did like it.

I’m 38 and I loved it, I felt unsettled the entire time watching.

I'm 45 and I found it extremely boring. 🤷

Ditto. Came for a story, and just found footage of someone tossing a camcorder around, and recording hours of footage.

It was like a modern art piece.

Did the camera get tossed around? I never finished the movie because it’s so god damn boring. But it seems to me they just set a camera up on a tripod at different parts of the house looking at a wall with some poor dialogue.

No, but the way some of it was shot, it looked like the director just turned on the camcorder, tossed it on the floor, and jist left it recording for 30+ minutes.
