Skinamarink (2022)
Creepy af
A lot of people are split down the middle about this movie. Some people thought it was the scariest thing they've ever watched and others said it was pretentious.
For me, this movie didn't make me feel terror, it made me feel uneasy, tense, and hollow. And honestly, that's way better.
The story follows these two kids (one age four, the other I'm assuming is in the six or seven range) wake up to find their father missing, and all the outside doors and windows to their house are gone. They turn on the lights and the tv to keep themselves company, but the power slowly begins to fail them, and weird things start happening. There is something in the house with them, some unnamed entity that keeps beckoning the kids upstairs.
The movie starts fairly slow, a lot of random, strangely framed shots of the house. The entire thing looks like it was filmed on an old VHS, making you feel even more isolated when you watch it.
It can be considered a slow burn, but honestly, this movie creeped me out from the start. It's very artsy, but it has such a genuinely dreadful air about it that you feel a knot tying in your stomach as you watch.
Very few jumpscares, but for me they were all necessary and freaked me tf out. It's very open ended, you kind of get to decide for yourself how you think it ends. Personally, I feel it has something to do with Kevin being trapped in purgatory, or just being stuck in the void forever, and that makes me feel so very empty.
I was scared to get my phone from my bedroom to type this review after watching. Really a good watch if you appreciate a more indie, unique approach to horror. Standing ovation to the director, he really made a masterpiece.
Sidenote, who else feels absolutely AWFUL for the little kids???
The Bewailing (2021)
Couldn't stay focused
This movie is seriously so dumb. It makes no sense, I have no many questions, and the climax of the end was anticlimactic. Ended up just letting the movie play through while my friends and I play cards against humanity.
Souvenirs (2020)
Eerie and Intriguing
The entire movie is really intriguing from start to finish. The ending was really good and you're not left with any questions. The leads were perfect for their parts and were really enjoyable to watch.
