I plowed through and thought it might have been building towards something at the end there, but...it wasn't.

Or maybe it did, who knows. You can't even tell what it is you're looking at 90% of the time.

I found it very tedious and boring, but I'd be curious to see what other people think since it's getting such polarizing reviews.

It looks amateurish and not in a good way

I loved Skinamarink, I was hypnotised and gripped until the end; here's what I wrote about it on FB

Skinamarink: I was entranced, then I was terrified, then I was heartbroken

it was an amazing, sensory experience; less of a narrative movie (though it definitely suggests one), more of a tone poem

regardless of what anyone feels about the details, this thing has pushed horror forward; I'm excited for what Kyle Eward Ball has done for queer horror and queer content creators, what he does next, and what he's pushed everyone else to make going forward

I'm not on the side of the naysayers and didn't find 100 minutes too long at all, you needed the lulls, you needed to get hypnotised, even tired; it's a waking nightmare done right

ill watch it but not expecting much. Im more interested in the production design at this point. The same with The Outwaters, although that one seems to be more right my alley.

I thought I would love Skinamarink, but I didn't. The concept was great, but the execution wasn't. It would have worked much better as a 30-40 minute part of an anthology.

Spoiler: show
The best part of the film for me was when you could barely see only the eyes of the toy, and you couldn't figure out what the hell it was but then it comes into focus - I had a really good laugh at that.

After years of false starts, I finally saw Twin Peaks. It was great.

Skinamarink didn't work for me, but I'm glad it was made, and that a little lo-fi, zero budget Horror movie has been so successful.

If so, hopefully the right one.

the thing about this criticism is, the short of this film already exists, it's called HECK; whether or not you think it should have been expanded, it was expanded; that was the experiment

personally I think 80 minutes would've been the sweet spot, I still love it all though and personally couldn't take my eyes off it

Unfortunately most people that found the series after its airing ended up renting a VHS with the international version
Spoiler: show
The international version was filmed with 20 extra minutes of footage in case the series was not picked up by the networks, rather allowing them to release it as a Television movie. It contains scenes from episode one, where Sarah realises that there was a man hiding in Laura's room when she checked in it the previous day. It also contains the ending to episode two, when Cooper dreams of meeting Laura and a mysterious man who speaks to him in a disjointed voice. It also reveals who Laura's killers were.

Lynch was so pleased with the footage shot for the European ending that he later incorporated some of it into Cooper's dream sequences that aired in the subsequent acclaimed Episode 2.
