Skinamarink The Awakening of Evil (Skinamarink), one of the most popular nightmares comes to life: two children under the age of 7 wake up in the middle of the night and discover that their father is not there and all the windows and doors of their house have disappeared. From that moment on, the stress of feeling abandoned leads them to stay with their toys and worn-out video cartoons in the living room. Little by little the environment begins to transform to the point where it is clear that something is stalking them and they have nowhere to hide.
The movie begins with a boy named Kevin and his sister Kaylee who leave their room at night, they are in the hallway for a while, later they go looking for their father, but they can't find him anywhere, the windows and House doors suddenly appear and disappear, faced with a situation the kids go to their living room to set up camp while watching creepy old cartoons on an outdated TV.
If we see this film as a cinematographic exercise, we can appreciate trying to do something different, on the other hand there is not great image quality in the film, it was shot in a homemade lo-fi format on purpose, but that should not imply that almost all the tape makes it hard for the viewer to distinguish the images, likewise the pace of the film can be very slow for the viewer, to the point of making them sleepy, I say this from experience, really in my case it is very rare for it to happen, so go prepared with the liter of coffee.
This is perhaps the worst "horror" movie of this decade, although they try to give an atmospheric terror, the tape is too sparse, for brief moments in the movie they seek to disturb the viewer, but they do not succeed, they only put the typical loud noise and the almost instantaneous image to try to make the viewer jump-scare, but they do not succeed, in the same way the bad framings stand out a lot where we only hear sounds from the score to suddenly and briefly put a little dialogue by the children who speak in most of the movie.
Skinamarink can be more confusing than terrifying, it is really very subjective, from what I can understand there are two children who died and are in a kind of limbo, the parents try to communicate with them but they do not get a clear answer, in addition to the Children are accompanied by an entity that constantly offends them, threatens and incites them to do bad things, so far the premise sounds good, the big problem is the scant and non-existent story that the tape has, but above all its way of telling it.
Rating: 5.0.
