Skinamarink (2022)
People who think movies are too safe today just aren’t watching enough indie movies. This Canadian horror hit, made for about $10,000 in U.S. dollars, features just four actors, and follows the perspective of small children whose parents have disappeared. Then other things disappear, too: windows, doors, a toilet.
It tries to make you experience time the way it passes for a child — have seconds gone by? Or years?
Demanding your full attention, it’s very divisive, to be sure: Many viewers find that the only way to fully appreciate it is in a theater, with others going through the same baffling experience. It’s part horror movie, part art exhibit, and one of the strangest movies we’ve ever seen.
