What is Skinamarink all about?

But so far we haven’t talked about what all the fuss is about “Skinamarink”. Well, it’s a psychological horror tape recorded as a fake documentary, in which they simulate real recordings, about “two children who wake up in the middle of the night to find that their father is missing and that all the windows and doors of their house no longer They are,” as the synopsis continues.

With only word of mouth from those who have seen the film before, and a creepy trailer that features no scares, but a terrifying atmosphere that achieves everything its director, Kyle Edward Ball, sets out to do. And although the tape is starting to find commercial and critical success at the different festivals it has attended, unfortunately it has been leaked online. Although thanks to this he managed to become a cult work.

But it must also be said that ‘Skinamarink’ is not for everyone, as there are those who find it quite boring and slow, despite its 100-minute duration. Therefore, you should know that this is an experimental horror movie that doesn’t expect to scare you with jump scares, but to disturb you and chase you home, in your worst nightmares.
