Skinamarink is a movie that requires patience and commitment from the viewer. Across its 100-minute runtime, it could be called both dull and terrifying, but it's precisely that combination that makes it so compelling if you're willing to go along with it. a b c Gingold, Michael (January 10, 2023).

[20] Ball said, "The subtitles do originally appear in the script because I wanted to experiment with them. I've seen it quite a bit in analog horror on the internet. I thought it would be neat to play with scenes where we could hear people talking but it was so quiet we could only understand them with subtitles. And then when I got to editing there were certain scenes where, in retrospect, a scene is originally subtitled but the way they said something sounded good so we kept the audio. It was a fun little process."

The movie has a very small, unknown cast which adds to the eerie realism of the project. Many people have compared it to The Blair Witch Project due to its low budget, scarily real feel.

As someone who has seen his fair share of horror movies, I often find it easier to see things coming. So therefore a film’s scarier moments do not always have the desired effect on me. This is especially the case with horror movies I have already seen, which is why I went into my Skinamarink rewatch fearing the suspense would be lost. Boy, was I wrong. The phone turns into a Chatter Telephone toy and the voice claims responsibility for it doing so, telling Kevin that it can "do anything." It says that Kaylee did not do as it told her; she said she wanted her parents, so it took away her mouth. It tells Kevin to come upstairs, and he obeys. Holding a flashlight, he finds himself on the ceiling. He walks into a bedroom which becomes a void. I did not dislike this movie. It was more or less exactly what I expected. As a fan of the creepy aesthetic of David Lynch and movies that challenge the audience I wasn't too disappointed. I love the concept and appreciate the approach but ultimately if you are going to ask an audience for 90-120 minutes of their time I think a film should give them more than Skinamarink delivers. Still, from a first time filmmaker it's an admirable effort. Skinamarink tells the tale of that night (or is it longer?) as the siblings experience increasingly disturbing events. But don't go expecting a conventional horror with a beginning, middle and end with everything wrapped up neatly. It's not a movie to be understood – it's a movie to be experienced.The distribution rights for Skinamarink were acquired by AMC Networks [22] for theatrical release via IFC Films (under the IFC Midnight label). [23] [6] Skinnamarink is an old song, a remnant of a now forgotten comedy play from 1910. It isn’t played here, though you might give yourself a further shudder by listening to it afterwards. There is also Skinny Malinky, a character in a Scottish rhyme, who went to the cinema but couldn’t find a seat. No other cultural reference comes to mind, and no explanation of the title is ever given, but it seems to have a Rumpelstiltskin-like quality, that suggestion that to know the name of a thing offers some kind of power, some means of understanding it. In the dark, in the swirl of static, you will find yourself reaching for such scraps of knowledge, folklore seeming no less applicable than science, but even if you think you might achieve understanding, it’s all too clear that a four-year-old cannot. If you are a parent, you will feel a clawing urge to grab the children and pull them out of there. For other viewers, the fear will be purely personal. In any case, it doesn’t let go.
