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.

Single most boring thing I’ve watched in a while
I loved this. It’s not an average horror and I like that. Felt disoriented at times and your minds playing tricks about what is going on o
If this was a 9min short, I'd be on board. But it's 100min of almost nothing. Skinamarink, more like Sleep-amarink, amiright?
Everyone is correct when they say this is for a specific audience. I was not a member of that audience. There were times I was genuinely unsettled, but more of the time I was just confused. I appreciate the artistic approach it took, but I also felt like I didn't really watch anything? I think this would work better as a short film.
Definitely not for everyone. But if it works for you, it WORKS. Anyone who says its objectively bad probably only watches blockbuster slashers, and thats their perspective of horror.
