I’ve got a high tolerance for horror movies, but just seeing the trailer for Shudder’s Skinamarink makes my skin crawl in a way that I can’t even remember a horror movie ever has, literally ever. Not in the way that most modern ‘horror’ movies are just bloated franchises with cheap jump scares and dumb ‘twists’ on established tropes. No, I’ve heard it’s peak, genuine, pure terror, the unsettling kind that infiltrates your subconscious and destroys you psychologically. Watch the trailer. It’s fucking insane. I can’t even watch the video in its entirety.
So I’mma pass for now, but props to Kyle Edward Ball for apparently making a cult classic.
