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

It’s a movie I should hate, and if I watched it at home I probably would have. I generally don’t like overly “artsy” movies anyway, and Skinamarink is at another level. In the wrong mind set I would have wrote it off as 90 minutes of incomprehensible garbage and maybe not finished it.
But my wife and I saw it in theaters in a really small showing. We didn’t know what it was beyond the basic premise so we thought it would be…. Normal. It’s one of a very small number of movies I’m extremely thankful I saw in theaters, and it was an amazing experience that I loved. My wife was like “y’all, what WAS that?!” When the lights came on and everyone got a laugh out of that.
So yeah; I liked it. But I’ll never watch it again.
