  • It isn't even up to me, you see I wasn't happy when every night before I went to bed all I could think about was those voices, from the darkness, where you can't see anything. It was like that for about a week, maybe I am weak minded I don't know. All I know is this movie just may be one of the SCARIEST movies I have ever seen!

    It’s very simple, definitely not like the greatest horror movie ever, but jeez did this scare me. This movie made me feel like a child again. Helpless, alone, and only wanting to be with my mom and dad. It’s nostalgic, and not in a good way. It’s confusing and terrifying and unnerving.

      in a way it's refreshing to know that times as a child was not always sunshine and rainbows. i felt this way so often and it was so unnerving and disturbing. another point is this feeling of not on,h being alone but also having no one understand. i do think we forget that children are not always happy and that they should be "greatful when they are young" bc events like these could feel so real. another thing that the movie made nostalgic was the simplicity and the lack of control the child had. children long for independence, and this movie highlights the longing to be in control of their own actions

      fun story time - I was watching this at home, with some friends and we had obtained our copy through dubious means. right at that scene, specifically when the mom said "I need you to,"
      The movie stopped. The screen went black and the movie just quit on us. Turns out it was a corrupted file but GOD I wanted to cry.

    I saw this movie in theaters, and I genuinely feel the experience of this movie in such a way was far more important than the movie itself. This was definitely the scariest movie I'd ever seen, but I thought the ending was the scariest. There were 10 people in the theater, and 5 of them walked out by the time first hour had rolled around. When the movie ended, the theater lights didn't turn back on and I felt deeply disturbed. Everyone waited for 15 minutes after, with me being the first to leave. There was no lights, there was no cleanup crew, nothing. This was far scarier, just the anticipation of nothing, than the movie in my opinion, and truly enriched the experience

    • @Irish_Georgia_Girl

      I've heard a LOT of people who saw it in the theater say that the lights didn't come back on immediately or...at all... and I now think that must have been part of the gig or something. I saw it at home but I think that would have made it more horrific than it already was

    The name of the movie- "Skinamarink" is from an old child's song, warping the idea further. The entity- whatever the Hell it is- is playing with Kaylee and Kevin, just like a kid pulling wings off flies. A sick, twisted kid who hurts them for fun.
    That's the most terrifying thing to me. The entity, demon, ghost- the Skinamarink... could very well be a child themselves. Playing with the house environment and kids like dolls and Legos, and breaking their toys when it doesn't get its way.
    Skinamarink, to me, was like someone'd recorded the nightmares of a child and put it on film. Nothing overly complex or analytical- just the fear of being alone in your home at night... and thinking, maybe you aren't actually alone.
    Home is meant to be safe. Home is meant to be friendly. Being alone, in the dark, with something else- no parents around. Even when we see Kaylee and Kevin's parents, somethings wrong with them. There's nothing scarier to a kid than Mom and Dad being... off.

    I watched this with my friend and it's really funny how we differed so hard in what we thought of the movie. I thought it was great, excellent at building tension without ever releasing it. While he thought that it was way too slow, context-less and that nothing happened at all.
    The only thing we agreed on is that some parts dragged on for too long. But this movie is the apex of leaving everything up to your imagination. There were so many parts where the camera was panning to the dark hallway and I genuinely gaslit myself into thinking there was a figure there.

    i think the reason i was so scared of this movie is because i work with kids the same age as kevin so not only did it make me scared it made me very sad. both of the kids acting skills are amazing and realistic, it's exactly like how kids act. that scream kevin let out when he put the knife in his eye still haunts me. its not the actual surprise of the scare (i mean i watched something about the movie before so i knew when the scene was coming) but its how disturbing it is to hear a little innocent boy scream with such agonizing pain. i really hope there's more horror movies like this soon.

    Does anyone think that being a child in the 90's made this especially unsettling? It just felt like I was back to being 5-7 years old, watching tapes of 30's and 40's cartoons (seriously, why is that such a prominent memory of my youth? Did they just re-release a bunch of these collections right at that time or something?) bringing blankets into the living room in front of the TV, and sucking on a juice box. All the while being completely unable to fathom the world around me. It literally made me feel like a kid again, but in a weird way that I don't normally think about.

    I watched it on Amazon with subtitles. The captioning doesn’t miss anything, and it’s important in those parts where there’s just whispering going on. Knowing everything they’re saying and what’s going on in the background made it much creepier. I think those long shots of the darkness and the face we see in the very last scene will stick with me for a while.

    It's so interesting seeing other people's reactions to this film. I absolutely HATED this film. I felt like this could have been a 10-15 minute short film and nothing would have been lost. I will say there were some super tense parts (mostly the "look under the bed" scene) but the sheer lack of things happening in the film and the drone of cartoon music drove me nuts lol.
    I think this movie didn't effect me like other because i grew up in a literal haunted house in a very rural area. We had constant strange noises, objects would wind up in weird spots with nobody touching them ect. People who came over always felt genuinely uncomfortable alone. So like.....maybe because i lived this it's not scary to me? Idk.
    When this movie was first announced i was actually super excited because the premise was super interesting. I just wish it wasn't 60 minutes of walls and ceilings lol.

    This was the only horror movie as of late that had made me react physically. I was alongside my best friend and her two sisters, watching completely in the dark with our bowls of popcorn. I was unsettled, yeah, but was fine overall. However, when it had gotten to the part where Kevin stabbed his eye, I could only cover my ears and whisper to myself to have it stop repeatedly.
    Loved the experience, but the movie definitely gives me the same effect when thinking about it afterwards.

    This film hurt my head, literally. The intense hypervigilance I had the entire time while watching was a drain on my adrenaline and gave me a headache. In most normal horror films, there are moments of suspense, moments of horror, then moments of plot and character development where you get a chance to rest a bit and take in new information. This film the entire time had the feeling of suspense leading up to a jump scare, but the jump scares rarely ever came, so there was no relief. It reminds me of one of the scariest nights of my life as a kid when I hallucinated and thought I saw stuffed animal in my closet move while laying in bed at night, and for the rest of the night I was frozen in terror staring the thing down intensely waiting for it to make another move. By the next morning I hadn't slept at all and was hallucinating all sorts of crazy things and was borderline delirious and had to take a sick day from school. Watching Skinamarink reminded me a little bit of how I felt that night.

    I don't know if it just me, but when Kylee was waking Kevin up, and it was the first scene both got their appearance in the same screen(i think?) She walked into the darkness in the wall and came out from it with Kevin.
    The darkness is very dominant in this movie, and the shot is super long with nothing happens except darkness and few objects highlighted, it got me thinking what thing should be animate and what things should be inanimate to the point that i think i just imagining things. And when the smiling eyes thingy frame happens, it just reminded me to Alex Kister's Mandela Catalogue 😂
    In conclusion, this movie is just another analog horror with artsy touch in it.

  • @vodkasvoice

    I didn't realize just how deeply this movie had disturbed me until days after I originally watched it-- I was hanging out with my brother, who was the one who introduced me to it in the first place, and we watched a video about the movie together. The SECOND it started playing a clip from the movie, I immediately felt my stomach CLENCH just... painfully with anxiety. It genuinely shocked me, just how involuntary and powerful my reaction was to it. I explained how I felt to my brother and he agreed-- he described the feeling as "like going back to the place where something really terrible happened to you." We agree that the movie feels like not a movie, but a memory you're having of a weird slumber party you went to as a kid, mixed with the nightmare you had that night.
    The reason that Skinamarink doesn't work for everyone is that it isn't a movie you can put on and just sit back, waiting to be scared. You have to allow yourself to be scared by it, almost play along, allow yourself to be immersed in it rather than expecting the movie to put in all the work for you. Some people are more willing and able to do that than others. Skinamarink is a horror movie that requires participation on your part, if only by way of letting it take you in rather than just sitting there observing the literal events on your screen and waiting for a boo haunted house scare to play out.

    I always assumed the child was asking the monster its name at the end, and that the cut was meant to signify that its name was the name of the movie.

    EXCELLENT video! Everything you said I felt too when watching this and afterwards. You really got me with the comment at the end about the weird dreamlike states you remember walking around your house in and I felt this panic rising up in me because I know exactly what you're talking about!! It was like you were describing my own feelings. I can't get over how spot on you were with everything! BTW... I wondered if that part where they showed Kaylee's face with no eyes or mouth...if you happened to have had the volume up or muted because you didn't mention the loud as hell audio that caused that to be the worst jump-scare of the movie....it was a loud noise when her face flashed on the screen and I think my soul left my body for a second. Another reason I think this movie got to me is because a few years ago I was in a coma, and in a coma I could still hear and even see a little through my lashes...but couldn't move or make sense of anything and this movie experience was so much like being in that damn coma! No ability to understand what was happening or where I was or sense of time yet being plagued by nightmares or hallucinations... I still don't know which they were but it was the scariest thing I've ever experienced.

Now imagine the child trying to make sense of this abuse. Things that should be comforting and safe like the family home are sinister and scary. That voice is the abuser and represents the abuse. Totally a no way out situation for Kevin and Kaylee. 🥺

    There is no “these characters are stupid” or “they could do this and that to stop the bad guy”. Instead all you can think about is how helpless they truly are. There is nothing they could have done to avoid this. It is truly terrifying.

    (spoiler warning)
    honestly, this is one of my favorite movies. i've seen it three times. twice in a movie theater and once on my pc in a call with my friend. the immersion in the movie theater is part of what made the movie for me. it's very well done and is meant to trick the viewer. it manipulates the viewers thoughts and is meant to leave you thinking about the movie afterwards. it honestly reminds me of an M. Night Shyamalan movie. what happens in the movie is ultimately up to the viewer. is this kevin in a coma or is it an evil presences/demon
    on the second watch, i realized the legos were sticking to the door frame in the beginning of the movie (before kevin fell down the stair) as they (along with the chair and other toys) do. which really made me rethink what was going on in that house. also, i was in tears hearing kevin's screams over and over again at the end of the movie. during my first watch, it felt like it dragged on. i checked my phone and almost 50 minutes had passed. it's very slow but also fast. i like how the movie tricks the viewer. like when kaylee is told to "look under the bed". i fully expected to be scared by something under the bed. i nearly threw up because of the dread and anxiety i felt. this movie fills you with those feelings without making you boil over. there's only a few jump scares. it just fills you with tension because you dont know what's going on all of the time. i really do recommend this movie to people who might like it. it's a mindfuck but it's really good

      Last I read the movie would be butchered before it would ever make it to the big screen and if Youu have ever read the book, Youu will know it is anything but PG-13, in fact cut thaat out and it would be an 'R' rated book.

    Okay...I've been seeing tons of videos about how this is the "scariest movie of all time" and I've watched it 4 times now and I can say honestly I was very disappointed. Now don't take that as it WASNT a good horror movie, because it was. It was different, it was eerie, and definitely can take you back to that "scared of the dark" feeling you felt as a child who was afraid to go upstairs alone. But no, it didn't leave me laying in bed at night, unable to sleep...it didn't haunt me for days. It was actually VERY slow and somewhat boring for the most part. But A for effort because I love abstract horror...the voice was creepy and the shot of the girl with no face DID scare me...but that's about it. Definitely not the scariest movie of all time.

I was yawning from beginning to end when I watched it, just like I was during "This house has people in it" and "Possibly in Michigan". You will definitely not like "Skinamarink" if you're not into that. To each their own! I'll use analog horror as ASMR but start crying when I see cosmic horror😂

    No matter how much I may want to, I will never watch this movie. I had a fear of the dark up until I was 13-14 years old. I have always had severe anxiety when looking at the shadows in the dark, as I sit there watching and waiting for them to move. And based on reading others reviews of this movie in the comments, Skinnamrink sums this fear up in a terrifying, uncontrollable, brutal bow. Even from just watching your video on it, I still feel a strong urge to turn my head to look at the dark closet to my left, just in case the expressionless face is there (It is literally broad daylight, and I just turned my head to look). That kind of fear is just way too much for me, and I can already tell I will not be sleeping tonight haha

    Somehow this movie reminded me so much of the twilight zone movie, especially the episode with the little boy that could make anything he want happen. There is a 2 second clip in that movie where they're talking about a sister of his that used to yell at him and how he had banished her by removing her mouth. Skinnymarink for me was like A movie version of just that clip.

Love when it has u cursing n nervous sounding lol It makes me remember one of the best n most potent effects of horror movies. The best ones turn even grown men back into little kids afraid of going into the basement n tbh I think it’s a healthy and bizarrely enjoyable experience.

    Only a few years ago I grew out of the fear of my own house and my own room in the dark.
    Whenever I walked around the house I was constantly looking around me and taking corners to navigate the place, whenever I was asleep I had my whole body including my head under the blankets and even then I didn't feel safe, and don't even get me started on stacked objects that looked like monsters in the dark.
    When I was five I had a vtech tablet, one time it was in my room while I was asleep and it made a noise telling me to charge it, I was frozen with fear for the rest of the night.
    Every morning when I woke up I needed to press a button that called my dad into my room because I couldn't get up and walk to the door alone in the dark. I've been looking forward to watching this movie and then this video made me realise just how much this film is gonna fuck with me.

    I paused the video to go watch the movie and found it boring most of the time, but very scary when it put anything on the screen that wasn't just another angle of an empty room.
    Overall not the scariest horror movie by far, but tbh I think that, out of all the things, horror movie tastes are very subjective, and the video was interesting nonetheless 👍

  • @gl00myb0nes-pf7xv
    @gl00myb0nes-pf7xv 9 місяців тому

    I adore this movie but tbh I understand why many people don’t. It’s incredibly slow-paced, even dry at points, which I appreciate you acknowledging. Imo the scares are done really well and it’s solid overall, but it crosses the line sometimes between trying to mount up dread and uneasiness by having no release of tension, and just being straight-up boring.
    What I do like is just how absurd yet vaguely familiar it is. an obscure threat that you can’t really understand, a nice utilization of liminal horror, and a mood of confused uneasiness. You feel like a child again- unable to understand what it is that frightens you so much, but believing fully that something is very wrong and there’s a threat just out of your sight.
    That feeling lasts through the scary scenes. Kevin and Kaylee can’t call their parents to check for monsters under their bed, or ask to sleep in their room; they’ve disappeared out of thin air, their normally comforting image distorted by the very boogeyman they protect the kids from. They can’t reach the light switch to confirm there’s nothing hiding in the corner, and no benevolent thing that physically could is there anymore. A place that should feel comforting and safe, a childhood home, has become a hellish, empty dollhouse of horrors. It’s a feeling of childish terror, loneliness and desperation that I think is done pretty well.

The problem was there were multiple of my parents and I couldn’t tell which one were real, and i was helpless because I couldn’t stand up. This kind of dream i had a lot of.

    Smile fucked me up pretty bad. I know that it was kinda cheesy especially the end but that movie made me reconsider closing the curtains while taking showers out of fear that somebody might be standing on the other side smiling at me when I open them. Got me for like 2 months straight it was terrible. I’m glad that they didn’t do too many scenes in the dark in that movie because I probably would not have been able to sleep properly had it been majority darkness. However, it’s arguably worse to be doing everyday tasks around my home and turning around anticipating a face smiling back at me from around a corner. I could almost see it in my mind only to be relieved that there was nothing there when I made the full turn. I actually felt as though I was being watched at times as well which made it even worse. I only saw the movie once and I vowed to never see it ever again

  • @johnb.8622

    What also makes a horror movie 10 times scarier for me is when there´s no real "enemy", something you can kill. Even in The Thing, where you´d had to have a flamethrower and all you could at least kill it evene thought that is very unlikely and dangerous.

  • @epicgames4655

    This movie freaked me out. I watched it with a friend and I thought it would be a good idea to turn off the light cuz I felt in the beginning that the film was going to be boring. Eventually I understood how severely it was affecting me, especially in the part where a boy called for help and then that scene where the blood spilled onto the floor several times. Also that face that gazed into the screen for several mintues surronded by darkness. Eventually, I literally didn't sleep for the next 2 nights, had panic attacks when tried to fall asleep even with the night lamp on and the following 2 weeks were also quite stressful, So I totally relate to your reaction to that film. Much to my surprise though, the friend could sleep prefectly well and was impressed when I told him about my experience.

Somehow, I can't bring myself to see it, I've started watching it once and just had to stop. It makes me feel like a kid staring at my open closet again, too scared to go close it. Or when I was the last person in the kitchen at night and it was MY job to turn the lights off. It makes me feel afraid of what I might see in the dark

    I have no idea what this channel is about! I hope I am not wrong, but if I based my decision on subscribing to this channel. Solely on this video alone. I think it will be worth it!!! I love movies, and I know a lot of people say that. But I mean I could tell you the characters and plot things about a movie that most people don't know, especially horror films, including B movies. Along with the actors et cetera the directors you get my point. But it seems like this past few years. Hollywood really doesn't produce anything worth watching. If it's produced in America, it's either changing our main characters, trying to get a message across etc. I hope this continues to grow. And there is more videos like this one to come!
