| Siblings Kaylee and Kevin are regular kids, living with their single dad. But when they wake up one night to find all the doors and windows in their house gone and that their father has disappeared, the two struggle to make it through the night by themselves while the force that manipulates their home starts to play more and more strange and deadly games with them. I am a big fan of found footage style paranormal horror movies. The stranger the better, and Skinamarink is definitely strange. An experimental film set in a small house with characters who’s faces we never quite see, the whole movie is both deeply unsettling and intriguing. To make matters worse (or better, depending on your point of view) the whole story is centered on two small children, so the fear and confusion one feels is compounded by the innocence of the main characters. The movie makes you dread what will happen by playing up the childish fears we all have: Being alone, the dark, the monster in the closet or under the bed. If you want to be scared in a way that is strange but also familiar, this is definitely the movie for you. |
