The only way for this movie to wow you is to give it some respect. Ultimately, this movie is not for everyone and that's okay.

Simply, Skinamarink is a mood piece. Most people come into the horror genre to mock the stupid decisions of the characters, gawk at the intense gore, or to be thrilled in a safe environment. This movie, however, will leave those viewers with nothing. This movie is for the viewers who want to be enveloped by the liminal mood. It sends them back to their childhood, when they were afraid to walk around their house at night. It sent me back to when I would sneak downstai... lees de rest.

I found Skinamarink pretty frustrating. It has moments of extemely effective horror. You'll constantly find yourself searching in the grainy darkness, but you'll rarely find anything. I especially did not like the ending. There are about seven pretty decent endings, I just wish they would fucking pick one. I found myself shouting "just end already!" Unfortunately, the main emotion I felt while watching Skinamarink was tedium, not fear.
