Skinamerink Review- A Creepy, Wild Horror Film That Is Genuinely Scary From Beginning To End
Skinamarink is a film that is labeled as a creepypasta. The definition of creepypastas is horror-related legends that have been shared around the Internet. Creepypasta has since become a catch-all term for any horror content posted on the Internet. These Internet entries are often brief, user-generated, paranormal stories intended to scare readers.  It’s a subgenre of the horror genre. The gist…

SKINAMARINK - Review
DISTRIBUTOR: IFC Midnight | Shudder
Tumblr media
SYNOPSIS:  Two children, Kaylee and Kevin, wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing. All the windows and doors in their home are gone. Trying to cope with this strange situation, they bring pillows and blankets to the living room and settle into a quiet slumber party as they play well worn cartoon videotapes to fill the silence of the house and distract from their frightening and strange situation. They hope and try to have some grown-ups come to rescue them, but to no avail. After a while it becomes clear that someone or something in the house is watching over them.
REVIEW: Filmmaker Kyle Edward Ball makes his feature film directorial debut with SKINAMARINK, a nightmarish paranormal thriller about two siblings trapped in their home by a sinister presence. If the viewer invests themselves in the film, it provides an intense melancholic atmosphere that builds tension with a mind boggling threat.
The plot for SKINAMARINK is simple and exceptionally spellbinding. Two small children are placed in a bizarre situation. There is limited dialogue, we never get to know them yet we perceive their innocence. Some of the dialogue is present as subtitles, some of the lines are present just at the level of perception. So there are times we don’t clearly hear the speaker and our minds are left to make sense out of what we’ve heard. Did we hear it correctly, or is there something else going on? The plot keeps much of what is going on to the viewers imagination. As such, there is nothing more terrifying than what we can conjure in our minds. At times the viewer can feel like Det. David Mills in the film “Seven” who questions, “What’s in the box” as we ponder what the hell is going on here, knowing we’re not going to like the answer.
Likewise, the film is unconventionally shot at odd angles and there are scenes where the encroaching darkness feels like a veil. Again, the viewer’s imagination struggles to fill in the blanks. As we gaze into the darkness we strain our perception to discern if there is something lurking there? Without a score, Ball skillfully manipulates images and the sound design to keep the viewer off balance. He takes the contemporary safety of a home and deconstructs into a nightmarish fairytale landscape that is a psychological minefield as he probes our emotions. There were times the early films of David Lynch came to mind, or black and white films like Robert Wise’s “The Haunting” or Carl Theodor Dreyer’s “Vampyr.” However, I get the impression that Ball has a unique understanding of the psychological elements of film and he skillfully exploits the elements at his disposal to impact the conscious and subconscious.
SKINAMARINK is unquestionably an art house, experimental film. The filmmaker, Kyle Edward Ball, delivers an emotional and psychological thrill ride. The crescendo renders the viewer bewildered, feeling like something has been taken from them. I will admit that as a parent, a father, and a brother the film might have had a bigger impact on me given my circumstances. Still, if you make a commitment to take the ride there is no way to escape even the meagerest emotional and psychological effects of the film. Ball has a red thumb when it comes to planting and harvesting a bountiful garden of nightmares. I’m eager to see what he serves up next.
CAST: Lucas Paul, Dali Rose Tetreault, Ross Paul, and Jaime Hill. CREW: Director/Screenplay/Editor - Kyle Edward Ball; Cinematographer - Jamie Mcrae; Executive Producers - Edmon Rotea, Ava Karvonen, Bonnie Lewis, Alan Lewis, Josh Doke and Jonathan Barkan.

Skinamarink (2022, dir. Kyle Edward Ball) - review by Rookie-Critic
Tumblr media
How can I even begin to describe Skinamarink? I guess I'll just start by saying this film is incredibly alienating and experimental. The entire film is comprised of close-up, off-angle shots of the house the entirety of the story takes place in. You never see any of the character's faces, and rarely do you actually see any part of them at all, save for their feet, as a lot of the shots in the film are low-angle, almost as if the camera was just sitting on the floor and happened to be recording. The film revolves around two siblings, Kevin and Kaylee, who awake one night to find that not only is their dad missing and their mom acting strange, but also all of the windows and doors leading to the outside have vanished. What follows is about an hour and a half of unfettered confusion, uncertainty, and darkness. The kids do the best they can given the situation (the youngest, Kevin, is 4, and Kaylee doesn't seem to be much older), and the film plays out in a very bleak fashion.
I'm not going to lie, this was a rough watch. Due to nature of the way the film was shot and the wildly low quality of the film's audio and video (the movie was made on a budget of about $15,000, and there's more visual noise on screen most of the time than there is actual image), large swaths of the runtime feel like they drag. I generally don't get as much sleep as I should, and not having a ton of visually interesting things on screen was making it very hard to stay awake for a majority of the movie, which in conjunction with the aforementioned shooting style, also made the film hard to follow. Not impossible, though, you can definitely piece everything together, but I spent a lot of that dead space between big moments in the film putting those pieces together. However, it wasn't just a rough watch because of those criticisms, it was also a rough watch because it scared the ever-loving shit out of me.
I love horror. As a former child scaredy-cat, I can tell you everything used to frighten me. At some point in high school I decided to fully immerse myself in horror and I never looked back. So much so, that nowadays it's an incredibly rare occasion that a horror movie truly gets to me, I mean really digs down into my soul and embeds itself there. From the second the first door disappeared, this movie absolutely had my number. Every jump scare, every shot staring into an abyssal hallway or bedroom, a sequence where a TV playing a cartoon stops itself and replays the same 10 second loop 5 times. I was more unsettled than I have been in a very, very long time. I drove home in complete silence. I was looking over my shoulder as I walked from the theater to my car, and likewise from my car to the inside of my apartment. I walked in and appreciatively touched my front door after I closed it behind me. I was actually, legitimately afraid to go to sleep that night. To go into a dark room by myself, shut the door (or leave it open, honestly with the headspace I was in, both were equally upsetting for different reasons), lay down, and close my eyes, leaving myself vulnerable to whatever evil presence might be lurking just beyond the cutoff point; where my eyes can no longer tell the difference between silhouette, shadow, and plain darkness. This film shook me to my absolute core, and it did it without ever showing me a single thing. It may drag in spots and it may be hard to tell what exactly is going on due to not being able to actually see any of the action, but it is for precisely those same reasons that it is so effectively terrifying. Kevin's final lines of the film, said just seconds before the house lights in the theater came back up, have stayed with me in the days following like ghost in my ear (and yes, I meant seconds. There are no credits, there is no sitting and contemplating what you just witnessed to some creepy music and names floating toward the top of the screen. You are unapologetically and uncaringly dropped back into reality immediately after the film's closing moment.).
What the movie lacks in straight plot, it more than makes up for in atmosphere and terror-factor. I can't recommend this for most people, and even the ones willing to take a chance on something on the fringes of what storytelling can be perceived as and what even constitutes a movie might find it to be a snooze-fest at best, but Skinamarink tapped into my psyche and made me feel a way that I'm not sure I've truly felt since the first time I saw A Nightmare on Elm Street when I was maybe 13. I have to give it my utmost respect for that.
Score: 8/10
Currently only in select theaters for a limited time, then coming to Shudder at an unspecified date later this year.

I think I read somewhere that Paul Walker & Hayden Christensen didn't get along
okay here's the tea with that.
Paul Walker auditioned for the role of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars and allegedly camped outside of George Lucas’ house to lobby for the part. However, Lucas chose Hayden Christensen instead. Paul Walker was PISSED because of this, so during a Teen Movieline interview, he said this about Hayden:
“I was really bummed out that I didn't get the part of Anakin, but there were rumors circulating, so I don’t know how close I came to actually getting it. Josh Jackson was apparently in talks to play Anakin, too. You can’t say anything, but a part of me was thinking…’You’d better not get it over me!’ At the same time, you’d be happy if he does get it rather than Hayden Christensen, some no-namer from Canada.”
Then, on the set of Takers, apparently, the "beef" was squashed cause Hayden said they were friendly towards each other.
