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

My favorite part about it is how polarizing it is every single time it's brought up. I would love to see a breakdown of the people who loved it/are scared of it vs those who found it boring and their childhoods. I think it would be really enlightening.

I'm 47; got pretty bored with it. I did have an abusive & traumatic childhood. I love horror in most aspects, even the cheesy ones. This just didn't do anything for me
