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.

Not really what I was expecting. I didn't find it scary or intriguing. I found it annoying.
A good movie to fall asleep to.
Honestly, I can't get past the terrible grainy camera effects, angles that don't show anything, and sounds that are so muffled you can't tell what is being said. The write-up sounded great, but the execution is beyond terrible. I always give bad films a chance, but this one is visually so bad that you can't tell what you're even looking at.
Not for everyone, but for some reason this movie got to me.
It does accomplish what it sets out to do. It does a great job of replacating that unsettling childhood feeling of staying up too late and something just isn't right. It is also way too long and will have you struggling to stay awake, but maybe that half-awake feeling is necessary to achieve the vibe.
