If you're also a kid I could see it happening, but as an adult it would take having the inner workings of a "comedic romance only" type of person to even feel something. The height of anything that barely resembles being scared were the two jumpscares, and this type of shit doesn't even work on me anymore, plus the jumpscares were shit. I dunno man, seems like art university homework trying to pose as a horror movie.
Wow I had no interest in this but I just read the wikipedia summary. Kind of cool to have two little kids be your horror movie protagonists.
Still sounds like garbage though.
Take into account that you'll barely aver see those kids, and the whole movie dialogue could fit in three pages and still have space left to draw a big dick on.
the under the bed scene was kino, does anyone have the still of the weird uncanney top of the head that shows up like twice, made it seem like a slenderface type thing was gonna show up
Its not smart, its slightly clever in the vibes it puts out. Other than the "story" theres not much to piece together.
I’m surprised anyone was able to enjoy this. I understand that not everything needs to be constant entertainment and engagement but 2 hours of empty shots and quiet noises are simply too boring to be considered enjoyable.
NPCs like it because they watch shows to "vibe" to them. They were on the edge of their seats the entire time waiting for NOTHING to happen.
Youtubers/Hipsters LOVE it because it means they get to structure a story thats already been "written" for content and pretend they're smart for remembering a jacket on a chair scared them as a child
I actually liked Heck (basically Skinamarink abridged), and it did basically everything a reasonable person would want out of the concept without going into snuff territory
Bed scene, phone scene, endless hallway, and creepy shadow face were cool. It could've been good if it was 15-20 minutes. Two hours or whatever it was is way too long for this concept.
I’m surprised anyone was able to enjoy this. I understand that not everything needs to be constant entertainment and engagement but 2 hours of empty shots and quiet noises are simply too boring to be considered enjoyable.
This movie sucked.
They consecutively threw away all the build up of tension to show a stillshot of some fricking toy, or some furniture. Somehow they've been able to take away all the empathy and concern you'd have for a child in danger by just never showing the fricking main character, took me near 20 minutes to realize that his sister had gone away. Most times the framing was just so bad that that it seemed that someone with dementia tried to pirate it from the cinema. The lack of any dialogue made it seem that they just didn't have a writer at all. >I wished to be a conceptual artist but daddy likes cinema better
It was very experimental and different and I appreciate the director for having the guts to make it in the first place. That said, it wasn't entertaining or enjoyable to watch. The movie had its moments, but experiments fail and I'd say this is one such example.
I also lost faith after the most ineffective jumpscare ever, but powered through. This movie feels like the horror movie version of when you mix chocolate powder with water instead of milk.
I fricking loved this movie. I watched it under exactly the right circumstances, alone in the dark while I was kinda sleepy. I just zoned out and let myself absorb it. It was expressionistic and abstract and unsettling and super cool. Loved it.
I didn't think it was great but maybe it'd be fun to throw on and fall asleep to. The Blair Witch Project is one of my favorite movies ever but I typically save watching it for when I'm sick and half asleep.
Not gonna watch that right now but I do plan on visiting the shooting locations one day. Wonder if the locals still get pissed off or if all the boomers from back then died off and the current residents don't care. Anyway there's no kino like taping shenanigans with your friends in the woods so anything like that has instant appeal to me.
The Last Broadcast was great up until the last 10 minutes. If they left it for you to figure out the twist instead of outright explaining it then it would have been perfect.
Nice find, I never heard anything about what happened to the house. It's a shame we haven't gotten anything fun out of the franchise in awhile (gave up on the game after getting lost in literally the first area during the daytime for half an hour), but one of my favorite Cinemaphile memories was being in a thread about the then upcoming movie called "The Woods" at the exact moment it was revealed to be a third Blair Witch movie, even if the movie was a huge disappointment. Went to a preview screening with two friends for my birthday and even though those are usually packed it was the first time my group had an entire theater to ourselves.
that was pretty cool. if i wasn't a shut in i would enjoy doing stuff like this, going around with a couple bros finding filming locations and talking about our fav movies. max comfy
Two that don't even work, you know the jumpscare happens minutes before it happens. The director had to fill the sausage so he just filled the movie with continuous still scenes.
If this was heavily shortened and given a bit more substance (maybe involving the adults more? More unique lines for the kids? More demon shenanigans?) I think it would have been received a lot better.
I enjoyed the ending a lot, but I don't think it compares to blair witch (at all, really).
>silence/muffled noises... >...SUDDENLY A LOUD NOISE >repeat 3 or 4 times >can't see shit for 2 hours
Woah... jokes aside you can find a shit ton of youtube videos like this, I wouldn't mind people praising this but calling it unique and special is just plain moronic.
My best way of interpreting it is its about what its like to be a type of ghost. Not even haunting a place. Multiple people in the family died at the same time and are somewhere like, underneath the universe, drifting deeper and deeper in their own memory and projection of their house, reliving their last night and being fricked with by some entity that's the equivalent of a deep sea fish of this netherzone that stumbled upon the sinking berg of consciousness, and the memory and the echo of their own minds progressively decays and distorts. The entity co-opts elements of the memory of their deaths, but is basically just a node of taunting malice, rubbing salt in the wound.
Which if that's what it was going for it honestly was way too "subtle" about it. Like not making that clear actually makes it harder to appreciate that genuinely scary, lost situation. Sometimes you have to know when you're hitting the counter-productive point of being artsy. Some scene where the dialogue at least vaguely outlines what's going on would have done nothing but improve the movie.
i guess its a bit too long but the contrarianism here is wild, its a great film, it sticks with you. not sure whats up with the hate here. some over correction to the rest of the internet praising it too much or something?
> its a great film, it sticks with you.
Was bored to tears while watching it and the only thing that stuck with me was my regret for wasting 2 hours and 15$ dollars watching.
to be fair, i think if someone goes into this expecting a "good movie" they'll probably be disappointed, based on the traits we typically associate with "good movie."
i went to see this on the recommendation of a friend, and the way it was pitched to me was "it's like it might as well have been a black screen for an hour and a half, but somehow it was really scary?" and i just wanted to know what the frick he was talking about, and that perfectly prepared me for the slow, experimental, structureless nature of the movie.
>You mean the children are getting ABUSED by a DEMON FROM HELL >YOU mean it ends with the ETERNAL TORMENT OF THE INNOCENT >A-and even though it's a demon there's somehow no GOD and the innocent can't just oneshot the demon by invoking the name of JESUS CHRIST?
This movie was great and a HUGE filter, I can't believe being so stupid that you'd hate it. I can get not liking it, it's not easy to watch, but HATING it just means you're dumb
Name a more reddit movie
What did it innove?
I mean I guess it did find novel ways to bore the shit out of me
I’ve seen it, it’s ok if you’re 12
no kid is going to have the attention span for this movie, the point is it makes you feel that alone at night scared sensation from your childhood
If you're also a kid I could see it happening, but as an adult it would take having the inner workings of a "comedic romance only" type of person to even feel something. The height of anything that barely resembles being scared were the two jumpscares, and this type of shit doesn't even work on me anymore, plus the jumpscares were shit.

I forgot this movie existed and being reminded of it has made me angry
I don't trust IMDb but 2,4 is even too low for IMDb. Like anything under a 6 isn't worth watching. Sounds like utter shit.
It’s the only movie I dropped all year halfway through, and I watched a lot of movies
Wow I had no interest in this but I just read the wikipedia summary. Kind of cool to have two little kids be your horror movie protagonists.
Still sounds like garbage though.
Take into account that you'll barely aver see those kids, and the whole movie dialogue could fit in three pages and still have space left to draw a big dick on.
Yeah the movie stinks as a full length film. Would’ve been better off as a short.
It already is one. Director just made his short film, but longer.
Funny huh? The Skinamarink doesnt bring anything new to the table, so why did he feel like a longer version is warranted?
Really just shows that he had 30 minutes of interesting material but padded the runtime with 70 extra minutes of filler.
>so why did he feel like a longer version is warranted?
for career gainz, duh. no one knows what the heck 'heck' is.
i think skinamarink while longer maybe unnecessarily, is shot better and has more interesting stuff going on
Well you can see how the short being so fast paced makes the whole thing simply fail to work.
the under the bed scene was kino, does anyone have the still of the weird uncanney top of the head that shows up like twice, made it seem like a slenderface type thing was gonna show up
>made it seem like a slenderface type thing was gonna show up
maybe
but it didn't
because nothing happens for the entire film
Frick no

I wish I had a high enough IQ to understand this masterpiece but I fell asleep half way through.

The director follows me on Twitter
why?
>camera points at blank wall for 35 minutes with slight whispering heard every 4 minutes
I didn't like it
>home alone but with a demon directed by a blind moron
It innovated a new level of shit
>home alone but with a demon
Headcanon. There are no demons in this cheapass movie because it had no SFX budget.
Bed scene, phone scene, endless hallway, and creepy shadow face were cool. It could've been good if it was 15-20 minutes. Two hours or whatever it was is way too long for this concept.

>My horror? Analog.
i thought zoomies had no attention span, how did someone get them to stare at pictures of doors for an hour and not get bored
it's ~~*liminal*~~
I was enduring the movie until the jump scare, then knew that was all I could expect from then on and turned it off. I was hoping for more
Naw you turned it off cause you was scared. Like a b***h. Pussy.
I also lost faith after the most ineffective jumpscare ever, but powered through. This movie feels like the horror movie version of when you mix chocolate powder with water instead of milk.
>what David Lynchs poltergeist might have looked like
No way that moron critic actually believes that.
Poltergeist and this have the resemblance of being two shit horrors overly hyped by some
I fricking loved this movie. I watched it under exactly the right circumstances, alone in the dark while I was kinda sleepy. I just zoned out and let myself absorb it. It was expressionistic and abstract and unsettling and super cool. Loved it.
>Tell me you don't watch horror movies, without telling me you don't watch horror movies
I also watched it under the same circumstances, but I straight up fell asleep because of, when before it I had 0 intent of sleeping.
I didn't think it was great but maybe it'd be fun to throw on and fall asleep to. The Blair Witch Project is one of my favorite movies ever but I typically save watching it for when I'm sick and half asleep.

I like sharing this video because it’s the only footage I’ve ever found on YouTube of the house before it was torn down.
Nice find, I never heard anything about what happened to the house.

The sets for James Cameron’s The Abyss were built at the site of a planned nuclear power plant that was abandoned and sat there for a number of years.

Shudder has some good stuff, but to be honest I mostly stay subscribed for Joe Bob.
Buy an ad homosexual.
are there jumpscares? I dont like jumpscares.
Two that don't even work, you know the jumpscare happens minutes before it happens. The director had to fill the sausage so he just filled the movie with continuous still scenes.

Is it really that easy
Kyle. Stop making these threads.

If I had to rank Skinamarink amongst the 10,000 or so shits I've taken in my life, Skinamarink would rank about 9,958 on the list.

>hate capeshit and unoriginal movies
>shit on every movie that attempts to innovate
Pick one
Some bits of movie between the static shots could have been good
I loved this movie and I hate idiots who try to force it on the 95% of the population who will justifiably hate it. Just let it be a niche movie ffs.
this. any recommendation of this movie should be qualified with "you're probably going to hate it, but"
I enjoyed it
We need the Snyder cut. Too many walls/10
