Kyle Edward Ball\u2019s \u201cSkinamarink\u201d is the biggest horror movie Rorschach test since \u201cThe Blair Witch Project\u201d (1999), another movie that made half the audience shake in fear, while the other half wondered, \u201cIs that all there is?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a story here but figuring it all out demands the audience pay attention.<\/p>\n

Two children wake up in the middle of the night and can\u2019t get back to sleep. The kids turn on the TV and watch vintage cartoons, slowly realizing that things are not as they should be.<\/p>\n

Strange noises, disappearing door and window frames and toys sticking to the ceiling are the least of their worries. There\u2019s also the question of what\u2019s going on in their parents’ room\u2026and is there an unwanted presence in the house?<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

The pacing is slow and \u201cSkinamarink\u201d feels overextended. I thought the film was nearly done at one point, but then checked my watch and realized there was 40 minutes to go. Nearly every shot is from a child\u2019s point of view, and we rarely see the young brother and sister, our main characters with whom we need to engage.<\/p>\n

Yet, writer\/director Ball counters this by having us hear the kids talk to one another – we hear the youth and vulnerability in their voices, which makes the ordeal they experience heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

The faux videocassette footage is sometimes beautiful, sometimes overly dark, cloaking the details we lean forward to see. In addition to \u201cBlair Witch,\u201d Ball\u2019s film shares the approach of the early \u201cParanormal Activity\u201d entries, with imagery that sometimes resembles surveillance footage.<\/p>\n

Yet, whereas those movies have us waiting for a jump scare, this wants to immerse us in an unsettling environment. For some, it\u2019s not enough to show viewers what a lucid nightmare looks like.<\/p>\n

For me, this is more than frightening enough.<\/p>\n

Ball shot this low-budget film in the home he grew up in, creating the feel that we\u2019re watching a videocassette tape that we shouldn\u2019t (shades of \u201cThe Ring\u201d). The atmosphere of a pitch-black house during nocturnal hibernation (shades of the opening scene of \u201cPoltergeist\u201d) perfectly creates the mood when they wake up at 3 a.m. and feel like they\u2019re on a different planet.<\/p>\n

Ball\u2019s film was made for very little, became a must-see attraction during film festivals, and to everyone\u2019s surprise became one of this year\u2019s biggest box office successes. The indie hit grossed north of $2 million<\/a> on a $15,000 budget<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Word of mouth and an effective trailer made it a premiere curiosity item for seen-it-all horror fans. It\u2019s so distinctly different, self-consciously artsy and psychologically rich, the love-it-or-despise it audience reaction is the only predictable thing about it.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

While some may get antsy with the film\u2019s wait-and-see approach to storytelling, things get especially wild and disturbing in the third act. The use of (very) low-grade special effects, shadows and sound is enough to suggest an internal invasion taking place in this house.<\/p>\n

Watching this as a jaded adult and horror fan, I found it powerful, cleverly made and quietly horrifying. Had I seen this as a kid, I probably never would have let my mother turn the lights out at bedtime.<\/p>\n

Seriously, this one isn\u2019t for children.<\/p>\n

\u201cSkinamarink\u201d has some big scares but most of it is subtle. The most horrific reveals are subdued, causing the audience to contemplate exactly what is happening and allowing for the film to haunt us long after its over. If you\u2019re willing to tumble down the dark rabbit hole Ball has created, you\u2019ll find a radical work of horror and one of the best films of the year. (on Shudder)<\/p>\n
