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.

I saw a few mixed reviews, some saying it was too slow and boring, and some saying its the scariest film ever. I have to say I think I agree with the latter. I honestly didn't know if I would be able to finish this movie as it felt like one long nightmarish panic attack to me. I don't usually get affected my horror films much if at all and am practically desensitized, but there was something about the constant dread and eerie atmosphere as well as the terrifying visuals that just made me consistently want to die lol, I will not be watching again, I loved it, I also hated every second. Honestly bravo to the filmmakers, cast and crew for creating an original, and terrifying movie. This made me want to genuinely cry.
I highly recommend.It’s literally my nightmares come to life. I hope and look forward to more of Ball’s films in the future!
Kyle Ball is an absolute genius. I have no idea how any of you can give a bad rating. If you say it’s “boring” you have no idea how to enjoy a terrifying film like this one. Delete your shudder account and stop watching scary movies if you find this film boring. I will die on the hill that this is one of the best horror films I have seen. As a horror movie enthusiast, not many horror films scare me. But this one did its job. The atmosphere is down right uncomfortable, eerie and truly unsettling.
Atmospheric and creepy. Unfortunately, also very slow.
This movie felt like my literal nightmares. As a child of the 80s/90s, this had a definite effect! It's not for everyone, and I have to admit, for a bit, I didn't think it was for me, either. But I found that I couldn't pull myself away from it and was left with a horrible sense of dread and loneliness.
