Sitting in the Dark

One of the things we find so interesting about Skinamarink is that it might just be unspoilable. Don’t get me wrong… we try to spoil it, sure. But, just as all films are largely a partnership between viewer and creators, this one is supercharged by your own fear in a way that we find difficult to classify. 

It was Tommy’s pick this month, and he went with this single film as a marker of the first time in his own memory as a horror movie lover that he reports geniune fear in the watching of it. Turns out, writer/director Kyle Edward Ball’s journey through childhood trauma and fear in western Alberta has some real legs.
