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.

Having seen this film in theaters, I was lucky enough to have a gripping experience being able to view such an independent project on the big screen. The overwhelming pauses and lack of action throughout the film are certainly not for everyone, especially if you have a short attention span. The suspense this movie creates is unique and I couldn't help but feel intrigued the entire time. I kept thinking, "Why am I not bored yet?" while my eyes were glued to the screen. This is how you make a statement with a low budget.
letting your imagination scare you is so fun, watched this in the dark alone the first time and i was scared as hell, not recommended for watching with people who ask “what should i see” or “what should i be looking at” the entire time
The grainy footage of the camera was definitely nostalgic, the point of view was very unique. However, I do think it was not necessary to have the start so slowly paced but man at the end I was terrified. I definitely recommend a watch but warning there is some pretty brutal child death.
Viewpoints abound, made me remember when darkness was just that. Chilled me. Imagination is needed.
This movie was absolute garbage. I don't care how many kids you allude to dying, if I can't even see their faces throughout the entire "film", or hear anything they say, why should I care what happens to them. 85 minutes of this movie is basically staring at a wall or a floor. Analog horror could possibly translate well into feature length, but this isn't how you would accomplish it.
