Skinamarink
Directed by Kyle Edward Ball
Two children wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing, and all the windows and doors in their home have vanished. To cope with the strange situation, the two bring pillows and blankets to the living room and settle into a quiet slumber party situation. They play well worn videotapes of cartoons to fill the silence of the house and distract from the frightening and inexplicable situation. All the while in the hopes that eventually some grown-ups will come to rescue them. However, after a while it becomes clear that something is watching over them. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.

good sense of dread but overall boring and forgettable
Seriously overhyped. Slow pacing, uncompelling characters, and no real payoff are the trifecta that make this film a total snoozefest. It's not even technically impressive - any film student with half a brain could make a better version of this on a tighter budget.
This movie is in my top favs because the whole movie, I'm holding my breath waiting for the jump scares. . . and they'll come when you least expect it. My nerves were shot the first time I saw this in theaters. I'm a big horror adrenaline junkie, so I think it's a masterpiece. The whole movie is so immersive. It plays into childhood fears. Think of yourself as the children in the movie. Alone. No parents. No doors or windows. And a creepy demon voice. . . . scary as f.
Extremely experimental to the point of it being detrimental to the film.
Masterpiece.
