the scariest movie I have ever seen

[@leslie5764]

It’s very simple, definitely not like the greatest horror movie ever, but jeez did this scare me. This movie made me feel like a child again. Helpless, alone, and only wanting to be with my mom and dad. It’s nostalgic, and not in a good way. It’s confusing and terrifying and unnerving.

[@novaaxolotl7899]

its almost like a liminal space.. in a very icky way especially because i grew up with old timey cartoons like the cobweb hotel

[@jehut1154]

a bad nostalgia, a nostalgia of the loneless

[@Irish_Georgia_Girl]

"nostalgic but not in a good way".... perfect description!!!!

[@randomkid7672]

in a way it's refreshing to know that times as a child was not always sunshine and rainbows. i felt this way so often and it was so unnerving and disturbing. another point is this feeling of not on,h being alone but also having no one understand. i do think we forget that children are not always happy and that they should be "greatful when they are young" bc events like these could feel so real. another thing that the movie made nostalgic was the simplicity and the lack of control the child had. children long for independence, and this movie highlights the longing to be in control of their own actions

[@leslie5764]

@@randomkid7672 Yeah. I’ve seen theories about this movie being about child abuse? Either way, it really represents childhood fears well.

[@Evilc]

I saw this movie in theaters, and I genuinely feel the experience of this movie in such a way was far more important than the movie itself. This was definitely the scariest movie I'd ever seen, but I thought the ending was the scariest. There were 10 people in the theater, and 5 of them walked out by the time first hour had rolled around. When the movie ended, the theater lights didn't turn back on and I felt deeply disturbed. Everyone waited for 15 minutes after, with me being the first to leave. There was no lights, there was no cleanup crew, nothing. This was far scarier, just the anticipation of nothing, than the movie in my opinion, and truly enriched the experience

[@Irish_Georgia_Girl]

I've heard a LOT of people who saw it in the theater say that the lights didn't come back on immediately or...at all... and I now think that must have been part of the gig or something. I saw it at home but I think that would have made it more horrific than it already was

[@drainyourlife]

that's actually so interesting that the lights didn't come back on. i know it's probably intended but i'd probably be questioning so many things if i were there in that moment

The entire scene with Kaylee going upstairs and being told to look under the bed was almost unbearable to watch. It felt like I was 5 going up the basement stairs with the lights off without being able to run.

[@nestorv7627]

That was the scariest scene imo

[@qwrtyu3341]

I literally had to pause the movie about three times at that scene. But I geuss that's what I get for watching it at night with headphones on.

[@samueljensen2175]

fun story time - I was watching this at home, with some friends and we had obtained our copy through dubious means. right at that scene, specifically when the mom said "I need you to," The movie stopped. The screen went black and the movie just quit on us. Turns out it was a corrupted file but GOD I wanted to cry.

[@aarontouris3644]

your “the scariest genre of horror” video was on my homepage as a suggested video, and immediately after watching it I came to your channel to find this video because I knew it’d be here, and I was also guessing it fucked you up this much too based on your analysis of psychological horror. What a fun, terrifying experience of a film, so glad I got to experience it in theaters

[@0_dearghealach_083]

The name of the movie- "Skinamarink" is from an old child's song, warping the idea further. The entity- whatever the Hell it is- is playing with Kaylee and Kevin, just like a kid pulling wings off flies. A sick, twisted kid who hurts them for fun. That's the most terrifying thing to me. The entity, demon, ghost- the Skinamarink... could very well be a child themselves. Playing with the house environment and kids like dolls and Legos, and breaking their toys when it doesn't get its way. Skinamarink, to me, was like someone'd recorded the nightmares of a child and put it on film. Nothing overly complex or analytical- just the fear of being alone in your home at night... and thinking, maybe you aren't actually alone. Home is meant to be safe. Home is meant to be friendly. Being alone, in the dark, with something else- no parents around. Even when we see Kaylee and Kevin's parents, somethings wrong with them. There's nothing scarier to a kid than Mom and Dad being... off.

I watched this with my friend and it's really funny how we differed so hard in what we thought of the movie. I thought it was great, excellent at building tension without ever releasing it. While he thought that it was way too slow, context-less and that nothing happened at all. The only thing we agreed on is that some parts dragged on for too long. But this movie is the apex of leaving everything up to your imagination. There were so many parts where the camera was panning to the dark hallway and I genuinely gaslit myself into thinking there was a figure there.

[@alyneorleans5018]

Sometimes there actually was something there. Or it appeared that way to me; a more staticky static.

[@delaneystorm]

I know myself well enough to know I would never sleep again if I attempted to watch this film it’s got allllllll the things related to scaring the hell out of me. Plus I totally had the VHS of those old cartoons. Nope can’t do it. Thanks for letting me live vicariously thru you.

[@aughhhhhhh1352]

Same, I’ve watched numerous videos on the film, seen the trailer, but I never intend to see the film itself. It is batshit horrifying, I could never stomach actually watching it, especially alone. But boy do I absolutely love it.

[@imcharlie3439]

i think the reason i was so scared of this movie is because i work with kids the same age as kevin so not only did it make me scared it made me very sad. both of the kids acting skills are amazing and realistic, it's exactly like how kids act. that scream kevin let out when he put the knife in his eye still haunts me. its not the actual surprise of the scare (i mean i watched something about the movie before so i knew when the scene was coming) but its how disturbing it is to hear a little innocent boy scream with such agonizing pain. i really hope there's more horror movies like this soon.

[@kode-man23]

Does anyone think that being a child in the 90's made this especially unsettling? It just felt like I was back to being 5-7 years old, watching tapes of 30's and 40's cartoons (seriously, why is that such a prominent memory of my youth? Did they just re-release a bunch of these collections right at that time or something?) bringing blankets into the living room in front of the TV, and sucking on a juice box. All the while being completely unable to fathom the world around me. It literally made me feel like a kid again, but in a weird way that I don't normally think about.

[@KaminaX5]

It's so interesting seeing other people's reactions to this film. I absolutely HATED this film. I felt like this could have been a 10-15 minute short film and nothing would have been lost. I will say there were some super tense parts (mostly the "look under the bed" scene) but the sheer lack of things happening in the film and the drone of cartoon music drove me nuts lol. I think this movie didn't effect me like other because i grew up in a literal haunted house in a very rural area. We had constant strange noises, objects would wind up in weird spots with nobody touching them ect. People who came over always felt genuinely uncomfortable alone. So like.....maybe because i lived this it's not scary to me? Idk. When this movie was first announced i was actually super excited because the premise was super interesting. I just wish it wasn't 60 minutes of walls and ceilings lol.

[@alyneorleans5018]

I watched it on Amazon with subtitles. The captioning doesn’t miss anything, and it’s important in those parts where there’s just whispering going on. Knowing everything they’re saying and what’s going on in the background made it much creepier. I think those long shots of the darkness and the face we see in the very last scene will stick with me for a while.

[@4Plus419]

I have a love/hate relationship with subtitles in my horror movies because I hate the {loud noise} subtitle that spoils a scare 💀 but in this movie I wouldve been so lost without them

[@noodlegod2797]

I had very similar nightmares, with the addition of feeling either very large or very small and being unsure of whether I was awake or asleep. I could barely even watch this video.

[@Irish_Georgia_Girl]

Ugh nothing almost is worse than that feeling of not knowing if you're awake or asleep

[@vodkasvoice]

I didn't realize just how deeply this movie had disturbed me until days after I originally watched it-- I was hanging out with my brother, who was the one who introduced me to it in the first place, and we watched a video about the movie together. The SECOND it started playing a clip from the movie, I immediately felt my stomach CLENCH just... painfully with anxiety. It genuinely shocked me, just how involuntary and powerful my reaction was to it. I explained how I felt to my brother and he agreed-- he described the feeling as "like going back to the place where something really terrible happened to you." We agree that the movie feels like not a movie, but a memory you're having of a weird slumber party you went to as a kid, mixed with the nightmare you had that night. The reason that Skinamarink doesn't work for everyone is that it isn't a movie you can put on and just sit back, waiting to be scared. You have to allow yourself to be scared by it, almost play along, allow yourself to be immersed in it rather than expecting the movie to put in all the work for you. Some people are more willing and able to do that than others. Skinamarink is a horror movie that requires participation on your part, if only by way of letting it take you in rather than just sitting there observing the literal events on your screen and waiting for a boo haunted house scare to play out.

[@thepungod4811]

This was the only horror movie as of late that had made me react physically. I was alongside my best friend and her two sisters, watching completely in the dark with our bowls of popcorn. I was unsettled, yeah, but was fine overall. However, when it had gotten to the part where Kevin stabbed his eye, I could only cover my ears and whisper to myself to have it stop repeatedly. Loved the experience, but the movie definitely gives me the same effect when thinking about it afterwards.

[@alyneorleans5018]

It’s like it touched a button with everyone, and everyone found at least one part of it almost I watchable.

[@Irish_Georgia_Girl]

EXCELLENT video! Everything you said I felt too when watching this and afterwards. You really got me with the comment at the end about the weird dreamlike states you remember walking around your house in and I felt this panic rising up in me because I know exactly what you're talking about!! It was like you were describing my own feelings. I can't get over how spot on you were with everything! BTW... I wondered if that part where they showed Kaylee's face with no eyes or mouth...if you happened to have had the volume up or muted because you didn't mention the loud as hell audio that caused that to be the worst jump-scare of the movie....it was a loud noise when her face flashed on the screen and I think my soul left my body for a second. Another reason I think this movie got to me is because a few years ago I was in a coma, and in a coma I could still hear and even see a little through my lashes...but couldn't move or make sense of anything and this movie experience was so much like being in that damn coma! No ability to understand what was happening or where I was or sense of time yet being plagued by nightmares or hallucinations... I still don't know which they were but it was the scariest thing I've ever experienced.

I don't know if it just me, but when Kylee was waking Kevin up, and it was the first scene both got their appearance in the same screen(i think?) She walked into the darkness in the wall and came out from it with Kevin. The darkness is very dominant in this movie, and the shot is super long with nothing happens except darkness and few objects highlighted, it got me thinking what thing should be animate and what things should be inanimate to the point that i think i just imagining things. And when the smiling eyes thingy frame happens, it just reminded me to Alex Kister's Mandela Catalogue 😂 In conclusion, this movie is just another analog horror with artsy touch in it.

[@Surfer8652]

This film hurt my head, literally. The intense hypervigilance I had the entire time while watching was a drain on my adrenaline and gave me a headache. In most normal horror films, there are moments of suspense, moments of horror, then moments of plot and character development where you get a chance to rest a bit and take in new information. This film the entire time had the feeling of suspense leading up to a jump scare, but the jump scares rarely ever came, so there was no relief. It reminds me of one of the scariest nights of my life as a kid when I hallucinated and thought I saw stuffed animal in my closet move while laying in bed at night, and for the rest of the night I was frozen in terror staring the thing down intensely waiting for it to make another move. By the next morning I hadn't slept at all and was hallucinating all sorts of crazy things and was borderline delirious and had to take a sick day from school. Watching Skinamarink reminded me a little bit of how I felt that night.

[@nobodyimportant4778]

I always assumed the child was asking the monster its name at the end, and that the cut was meant to signify that its name was the name of the movie. But if it's actually addressing the viewer and the monster is asking your name as you suggest, that makes way more sense and is way more upsetting.

Not for movie night, but for an experience currently unmatched by any other film out there. It's scary, it's sad, and it's art.

[@mossygeese]

(spoiler warning) honestly, this is one of my favorite movies. i've seen it three times. twice in a movie theater and once on my pc in a call with my friend. the immersion in the movie theater is part of what made the movie for me. it's very well done and is meant to trick the viewer. it manipulates the viewers thoughts and is meant to leave you thinking about the movie afterwards. it honestly reminds me of an M. Night Shyamalan movie. what happens in the movie is ultimately up to the viewer. is this kevin in a coma or is it an evil presences/demon on the second watch, i realized the legos were sticking to the door frame in the beginning of the movie (before kevin fell down the stair) as they (along with the chair and other toys) do. which really made me rethink what was going on in that house. also, i was in tears hearing kevin's screams over and over again at the end of the movie. during my first watch, it felt like it dragged on. i checked my phone and almost 50 minutes had passed. it's very slow but also fast. i like how the movie tricks the viewer. like when kaylee is told to "look under the bed". i fully expected to be scared by something under the bed. i nearly threw up because of the dread and anxiety i felt. this movie fills you with those feelings without making you boil over. there's only a few jump scares. it just fills you with tension because you dont know what's going on all of the time. i really do recommend this movie to people who might like it. it's a mindfuck but it's really good 10/10 video!

[@hideousproductionsllc]

Okay...I've been seeing tons of videos about how this is the "scariest movie of all time" and I've watched it 4 times now and I can say honestly I was very disappointed. Now don't take that as it WASNT a good horror movie, because it was. It was different, it was eerie, and definitely can take you back to that "scared of the dark" feeling you felt as a child who was afraid to go upstairs alone. But no, it didn't leave me laying in bed at night, unable to sleep...it didn't haunt me for days. It was actually VERY slow and somewhat boring for the most part. But A for effort because I love abstract horror...the voice was creepy and the shot of the girl with no face DID scare me...but that's about it. Definitely not the scariest movie of all time.

There was a night when I was going to bed and had put on some old cartoons that were uploaded as a compilation to youtube, as I usually do, and as I'm trying to fall asleep, I hear the sound of the cartoon scene used in Skinamarink where the character makes himself disappear (the one that's played over and over again in the movie) and I was immediately wide awake again with a horrible feeling of dread.

There is no “these characters are stupid” or “they could do this and that to stop the bad guy”. Instead all you can think about is how helpless they truly are. There is nothing they could have done to avoid this. It is truly terrifying.

No matter how much I may want to, I will never watch this movie. I had a fear of the dark up until I was 13-14 years old. I have always had severe anxiety when looking at the shadows in the dark, as I sit there watching and waiting for them to move. And based on reading others reviews of this movie in the comments, Skinnamrink sums this fear up in a terrifying, uncontrollable, brutal bow. Even from just watching your video on it, I still feel a strong urge to turn my head to look at the dark closet to my left, just in case the expressionless face is there (It is literally broad daylight, and I just turned my head to look). That kind of fear is just way too much for me, and I can already tell I will not be sleeping tonight haha

[@gl00myb0nes-pf7xv]

I adore this movie but tbh I understand why many people don’t. It’s incredibly slow-paced, even dry at points, which I appreciate you acknowledging. Imo the scares are done really well and it’s solid overall, but it crosses the line sometimes between trying to mount up dread and uneasiness by having no release of tension, and just being straight-up boring. What I do like is just how absurd yet vaguely familiar it is. an obscure threat that you can’t really understand, a nice utilization of liminal horror, and a mood of confused uneasiness. You feel like a child again- unable to understand what it is that frightens you so much, but believing fully that something is very wrong and there’s a threat just out of your sight. That feeling lasts through the scary scenes. Kevin and Kaylee can’t call their parents to check for monsters under their bed, or ask to sleep in their room; they’ve disappeared out of thin air, their normally comforting image distorted by the very boogeyman they protect the kids from. They can’t reach the light switch to confirm there’s nothing hiding in the corner, and no benevolent thing that physically could is there anymore. A place that should feel comforting and safe, a childhood home, has become a hellish, empty dollhouse of horrors. It’s a feeling of childish terror, loneliness and desperation that I think is done pretty well.

[@DarklordKermit77]

Only a few years ago I grew out of the fear of my own house and my own room in the dark. Whenever I walked around the house I was constantly looking around me and taking corners to navigate the place, whenever I was asleep I had my whole body including my head under the blankets and even then I didn't feel safe, and don't even get me started on stacked objects that looked like monsters in the dark. When I was five I had a vtech tablet, one time it was in my room while I was asleep and it made a noise telling me to charge it, I was frozen with fear for the rest of the night. Every morning when I woke up I needed to press a button that called my dad into my room because I couldn't get up and walk to the door alone in the dark. I've been looking forward to watching this movie and then this video made me realise just how much this film is gonna fuck with me.

I feel like this movie got such harsh criticism because you have to be affected by analog horror to enjoy it/be scared by it and most people weren't. I was yawning from beginning to end when I watched it, just like I was during "This house has people in it" and "Possibly in Michigan". You will definitely not like "Skinamarink" if you're not into that. To each their own! I'll use analog horror as ASMR but start crying when I see cosmic horror😂

Smile fucked me up pretty bad. I know that it was kinda cheesy especially the end but that movie made me reconsider closing the curtains while taking showers out of fear that somebody might be standing on the other side smiling at me when I open them. Got me for like 2 months straight it was terrible. I’m glad that they didn’t do too many scenes in the dark in that movie because I probably would not have been able to sleep properly had it been majority darkness. However, it’s arguably worse to be doing everyday tasks around my home and turning around anticipating a face smiling back at me from around a corner. I could almost see it in my mind only to be relieved that there was nothing there when I made the full turn. I actually felt as though I was being watched at times as well which made it even worse. I only saw the movie once and I vowed to never see it ever again

How was it?

[@death2corpos]

Damn, pausing this movie. Feels the exact same as watching it!

[@Elvis.D99]

NO DONT DO IT

[@Irish_Georgia_Girl]

Did you make it back??

[@imwatchingasalways]

At 9:50 when I saw what I think is a flower I thought it was the ghosts face. That mixed with his buildup of the end and the sudden cut to the movies audio made me jump so bad... Might not be watching this movie.

[@Irish_Georgia_Girl]

I clicked on the time stamp and see what you mean and holy hell it does look like a face!

[@AngieHarding-k5j]

This movie ... Is the reason I have never .. in my whole entire life slept in total darkness... My instincts since I was a small child has told me there is too much unknown in the dark ...

[@sprinkleddonuts6094]

Skinamarink a dink a dink, skinamarink a doo, i see you… I guess i am just too desensitised, i have been watching horror, sci fi horror, etc movies since i was forced to at 4 years.

[@Tyt0Alba.2]

I watched skinamarink with my boyfriend lol, it was his first ever horror movie and he covered his face the whole time. Personally it did not scare me but there was definitely scenes that had me on edge, its a great movie

[@Irish_Georgia_Girl]

Aww that's cute that he covered his face! I don't mean that condescending either... I'm being serious. It's sweet when a guy can allow himself to be vulnerable like that instead of thinking they have to act fearless the whole time like my fiancé lol. I wish mine would be more like that!

[@drunkvax]

Definitely an out of the ordinary thought but my immersion of 1995 kinda broke when I saw the lego pieces being used. Most of those pieces weren’t introduced until very recently but it doesn’t take away from the horror aspect

[@epicgames4655]

This movie freaked me out. I watched it with a friend and I thought it would be a good idea to turn off the light cuz I felt in the beginning that the film was going to be boring. Eventually I understood how severely it was affecting me, especially in the part where a boy called for help and then that scene where the blood spilled onto the floor several times. Also that face that gazed into the screen for several mintues surronded by darkness. Eventually, I literally didn't sleep for the next 2 nights, had panic attacks when tried to fall asleep even with the night lamp on and the following 2 weeks were also quite stressful, So I totally relate to your reaction to that film. Much to my surprise though, the friend could sleep prefectly well and was impressed when I told him about my experience.

[@bobbymcbobbins6242]

Thanks for making this video, I love the plot/lore of horror movies because they’re so damn entertaining, but can’t stand watching them.

[@johnb.8622]

What also makes a horror movie 10 times scarier for me is when there´s no real "enemy", something you can kill. Even in The Thing, where you´d had to have a flamethrower and all you could at least kill it evene thought that is very unlikely and dangerous.

[@joenugent9508]

I remember those slow motion dreams too, it would always end with slowly falling down the stairs as if being pulled towards the darkness, desperately trying to pull back up to the landing. Spooky shit

[@drax14QC]

Also near the end of the movie, it’s written 572 days on the screen, hinting that this ‘’torture’’ has been going on for way longer than we thought.

[@harryzlayer6017]

yea i for sure got those dreams aswell, my most occurent dream was when i was maybe 7 or 8 and thats this big fkn guy went around the house telling me to go to sleep and i would have to juke him to get out, or my 2nd most occurent dream was that i got transported to a 2d-3d like world/realm where there were these humanoid things all staring at me and then they started chasing me slowly but got proggresivly faster and when they caught up to me i woke up. it was the scariest experience of my life

[@RETYQ]

I can’t shake this movie either man…. There is no hidden plot and that’s what is messed up. People saying a coma and I say no….. because we have kaylee pov… I think this is just one day… from the day seemingly being the beginning. The dad isn’t real. The phone isn’t real… this is a hell for these kids… I hate this. I also love this.

[@ciangriffin9630]

I thought Skinamarink was more funny than scary when I watched it. Me and my family started cracking up when the scene with the toy phone ringing happened. It was really good at building tension but after around like 4 minutes I got bored knowing nothing was going to happen after the build.

[@bowbear1048]

If you combined something like this with jumpscares, you would have a crazy-scary horror movie.

[@Irish_Georgia_Girl]

There were a couple of jump-scares in it and I thought my soul left my body for a second like in cartoons (God this movie ruined cartoons for me too!) when they get scared

[@adriennedestroyer4197]

When I had finally gotten around to watching it I couldn't help but imagine my little sister's in the kids' shoes. The complete anguish and terror I felt since I still remember being afraid of the dark, I almost cried at multiple points. I watched it alone at night from 12 to like 2 am and holy shit.

[@orionnebula1136]

This movie reminded me so much of nightmares I had as a kid that I still remember.

[@Yatukih_001]

If you were crazy you would have thought that this movie is telling you what to do at a personal level. This is why I know you are not crazy. Thanks for your video. Kind regards from Ásgeir in Iceland.

[@Skuthulu-archives]

My two cents is that "falling down the stairs" is the most common excuse child abusers use as a cover up. The two are abused and want their "real" mommy and daddy and living there is a nightmare.

[@CoalForgeGaming]

this really didnt scare me that much. i just got to caught up in how slow it was

[@Komasan_likes_icecream]

So for the people who paid attention to the movie there is a cartoon that plays with the jack rabbit and the music and normally when something disappeared it would play it now I think what was happening is before they showed the cartoon the kids where going insane slowly and so the demon took over that feeling and caused they to think that way by removing certain objects

[@ellisvan]

I went to watch this in the theaters with my dad (after like six weird failed attempts to watch it), and we had to leave and demand a refu.nd. I'm a more patient person, and I was just so BORED. We didn't even pay for it - Cinemax credits, and we still had to get those refunded. I can understand an aspect of the movie being scary, but the obscene amount of corner shots of the ceiling, the noise, and the barely legible dialogue (at least the theater had subtitles) made me so disappointedly bored. Glad we saw Nope and Barbarian to make up for it (and no, I'm not a boomer lol, it was just... boring!) I did like the review, though, and can totally appreciate someone being unable to shake the sense of dread that this movie followed them around with for days

[@marcus5571]

Hard for a horror movie to get to my head now but this one turned me into a little bitch

[@Oscar-qt9ud]

I think the best way I got cope with this movie was to believe in Film Theorist's theory on it. The whole thing being a coma at least it gives let's me sleep at night with somewhat peace

[@kristinuwu]

i cant explain how effective this movie is!! scared me so much

[@demonicavenger6987]

Hmm, I think I should stay away from analog horror for a while

[@anyalykho138]

This contends heavily as one of my favorite movie of all time

[@faet8568]

I've watched this video a few times now, trying to build up the confidence to actually watch the whole of skinamarink. Obviously I keep chickening out. Somehow, I can't bring myself to see it, I've started watching it once and just had to stop. It makes me feel like a kid staring at my open closet again, too scared to go close it. Or when I was the last person in the kitchen at night and it was MY job to turn the lights off. It makes me feel afraid of what I might see in the dark

[@Horner181]

I just can’t get into bad shot movies no dialogue… but I can understand why this is unsettling

[@ivozayas678]

I shit myself

[@MorklebBlack]

My partner and I watched this movie. I found it very effective, and was extremely bothered. He was not. But what I can say is that it did stick with both of us, and we've talked about it a lot since. Even if you don't find it scary, it's an interesting progression of analogue horror.

[@sweetsoul3169]

The voices sound like ASMR

[@trevorb.miller6385]

I truly do not understand the love for this one. Maybe because I was never scared of the dark when I was little and just can't relate. But this was not scary at all. I appreciated the style of it, but I really just found myself very very bored.

[@Dr_Larken]

I have no idea what this channel is about! I hope I am not wrong, but if I based my decision on subscribing to this channel. Solely on this video alone. I think it will be worth it!!! I love movies, and I know a lot of people say that. But I mean I could tell you the characters and plot things about a movie that most people don't know, especially horror films, including B movies. Along with the actors et cetera the directors you get my point. But it seems like this past few years. Hollywood really doesn't produce anything worth watching. If it's produced in America, it's either changing our main characters, trying to get a message across etc. I hope this continues to grow. And there is more videos like this one to come!

[@myronslilslavegirl]

Just once, I'd love to see a horror movie where when needed, they turn on the dam lights lmao 😅😅😅

[@teiko_edits7751]

tbh my last house was haunted no joke taps would open after sunset there was this one time i hid inside a cupboard i heard knocking sound outside there was noone i had nightmares everyday and daytime sleep paralysis of someone watching me after we moved about 5 years ago no nightmares and sleep paralysis in the new house. By the way i lived in the mountains.

[@moonshelter3448]

You were looking for cliches and there were only baits leading to the whole different experience. It's not that type of horror everybody got used to. It's like another dimension whole another level. You are free to interpret it the way you feel. Analog horror was created to make you feel that raw terror its not about telling tales) I love this movie. It's a new era for a horror genre. But just like in wrestling to understand and enjoy it as I've said earlier you have to accept the rules of this sorta game. Your father just didn't do that. I know it. So I'm still having these loooong conversations with my mom to prepare her for the analog horror like Skinamarink. I want her to watch it) It's a masterpiece no sht)❤
