Certainly, there’s no shortage of fan theories to read on the movie’s main discussion thread on r/horror. But if you’ve made it to the end of the trip - all 572 days of it - you’ll likely have come away with your own interpretation of the film’s bizarre events. Your mileage may vary as to whether you have the patience to sit through the movie’s slow burn and often incomprehensible dialogue-driven plot (the sound design itself is top notch). And with the film grain turned all the way up so that you can barely make out what’s happening in the house’s dimly lit hallways and rooms, and shots that never actually focus in on the characters or their faces, it’s hard to know what you’re even looking at from one scene to the next.Īll of this works to heighten the effect of the mysteries that make up Skinamarink‘s barebones story. There are no clear answers across the film’s challenging 100-minute runtime, just hints as to what happened to Kevin and Kaylee’s missing parents and the identity of the faceless villain who whispers to the children from upstairs. Upon first viewing, it’s easy to see why Skinamarink has sparked so much debate on Reddit forums about its true meaning and what exactly Kevin and Kaylee are experiencing inside their haunted house. This Skinamarink article contains spoilers.
