Skinamarink proves that analog horror is a lot more versatile than its detractors give it credit for.
Skinamarink is playing in theaters across America, a fact that should be celebrated in and of itself. In a post-pandemic cinema landscape littered with franchises, spinoffs, and legacy sequels, true originality is something to be treasured.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY We Interrupt This Broadcast In his book A Year of Swollen Appendices, the legendary musician and producer Brian Eno mused on the nature of obsolete media. “Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided.
Speaking of which, ambiguity and suspense are a couple other things Skinamarink has in common with analog horror. Analog horror creators understand that what isn’t shown is often just as scary as what is shown - and in any case, much less expensive. It’s a genre that favors suggestion, cryptic imagery, things that may not make logical sense but sure as hell make sense at three in the morning when you haven’t slept a wink.
