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.

By the end I was more bored than frightened. Go to Full Review

3/5
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

This film makes me angry. I was angry that this is considered a movie. I was angry at how cheep the gimmicks were. I was angry that it was still somehow effective, but mostly I was angry that I watched it. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
"Skinamarink is a unique horror movie that makes the most of atmosphere and tension to throw the audience into this disturbing supernatural experience." Go to Full Review
Katelyn Nelson Daily Grindhouse 08/04/2024
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. Go to Full Review

Candler IV 02/22/2023 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. See more Jess 02/10/2023 If you’re scared or were ever scared of the dark, this movie messes you up See more Hisu 02/10/2023 terrifically terrifying See more Roy 02/10/2023 literally the most terrifying movie I have ever seen See more C 02/03/2023 Its fantastic but only for fans of experimental stuff. A lot of people will hate it but thats how movies like this are. See more Mr. Hollywood 02/02/2023 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. See more Read all reviews
