Skinamarink is unwatchable.
And yet... I do think it's an interesting piece of art, and I don't know what I would change. Those long shots in the near dark evoke the kind of dull fear that you feel being in a situation that you don't understand and doesn't feel right, but also isn't scary on it's face. Weirdly, I think it works better than Heck (which is more overtly frightening, but which I think is too "external" in it's study of the child's distress, and so is less interesting). I saw both of these before I had kids, so I'm curious what my perspective would be nowadays.
I didn't watch The Outwaters because the person who recommended it to me compared it favorably to Skinamarink, and I would rather do anything else with my evening.
