Two children wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing, and all the windows and doors in their home have vanished. To cope with the strange situation, the two bring pillows & blankets to the living room and settle into a quiet slumber party. They play well worn videotapes of cartoons to fill the silence of the house and distract from the frightening and inexplicable situation. All the while in the hopes that eventually some grown-ups will come to rescue them. However, after a while it becomes clear that something is watching over them.

Skinamarink, for all its dreaminess, is a successful horror film: Like many of the genre’s greatest examples, it has a sense of discovery and terrifying wonder.

– David Sims, The Atlantic

Horror has given us many totems of people and entities to be afraid of over the years. None are a match for what we can come up with in the playgrounds of our curiosity. Skinamarink walks the fine line between fever dream and nightmare – often mixing.

– Murjani Rawls, Draftkings Nation
