What to Know

Critics Consensus

Skinamarink can be more confounding than frightening, but for viewers able or willing to dial into its unique wavelength, this unsettling film will be difficult to shake.

For some it might be scary, but for a lot of viewers, Skinamarink is just frighteningly dull.

Cath Clarke Guardian By the end I was more bored than frightened. Rated: 3/5 Feb 1, 2023 Full Review Richard Newby Empire Magazine It’s an unsettling Rorschach test with a haunting ending that will settle in the pit of your stomach like a stone. But it can be a polarizing experience that pushes the limits of patience. Rated: 3/5 Jan 28, 2023 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai CTV's Your Morning Taps into a primal fear of a child waking up in the night finding the things they take comfort (home, toys, cartoons) twisted into something nightmarish in the dark. Rated: 3/5 Jan 20, 2023 Full Review Katelyn Nelson Daily Grindhouse The atmosphere created in this film is more than just immediately unsettling. It feels, as the situations get darker and bleaker, almost as if we are watching something we have no business laying eyes on. Like a fever dream you can’t quite shake. Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands Skinamarink is a vessel for the brain’s most frightening hallucinations. It’s not about what you actually see but what could be there. Rated: 5/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Zofia Wijaszka Nerdspin "Skinamarink", with its evocative visuals directly from our childhood horror dreams, is a standout among successfully disturbing found-footage films. Rated: A- May 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Candler IV I loved this movie. If you want to be spoon fed your entire movie experience, then this film may not be for you. I loved how it left more to the imagination. It truly brought me back to my childhood and that feeling of something lurking in the dark in your own home. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Jess If you’re scared or were ever scared of the dark, this movie messes you up Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Hisu terrifically terrifying Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Roy literally the most terrifying movie I have ever seen Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review C Its fantastic but only for fans of experimental stuff. A lot of people will hate it but thats how movies like this are. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Mr. Hollywood Didnt do it for me. I get the concept and Im happy for the first time filmmaker spending 15k only and made a huge profit, Im all for new filmmakers making it, but overall I couldnt get to liking it as others have. Saw it at the theater specifically so I can contribute and support this film, and I encourage everyone to go see independent movies at the theaters please, but I also have to be honest. I get the horror aspect and what the filmmaker was going for but it was boring and way to home video feel for me. PS I didnt mind Paranormal Activity or The Blair Witch Project but this was too easy for lack of a better word. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
