Analog horror movie Skinamarink from director Kyle Edward Ball has crossed $1 million at the box office, bringing in more than 67 times its budget.
Indie analog horror movie Skinamarink has pulled in over $1 million at the box office less than a week after its release. The experimental film has been pulling in big returns under a small budget, making over 67 times its original budget of just $15,000. The movie plays on common childhood fears as two young children wake up to discover that their dad has disappeared and that they are home alone.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Skinamarink started as just an experimental project and ended up as a blockbuster hit. It is the creation of Canadian director Kyle Edward Ball, and was filmed in his childhood home in Edmonton, Canada. Ball wrote the script with his childhood home in mind, and shot the whole movie digitally—even the toys used in the movie are Ball’s childhood toys.
During the interview, Ball also explained that the idea for the film originally came to him in 2017, after he filmed a four-minute video that visually depicted a nightmare he had during his youth. He uploaded that video to YouTube, and watched as his channel gained rapid momentum and accumulated an impressive following. This led him to Skinamarink, as he was inspired to further explore the theme of childhood nightmares.
Skinamarink stars Lucas Paul, Dali Rose Tetreault, Ross Paul, and Jaime Hill. It follows two children who wake up alone in a shape-shifting house, as windows, doors, and other objects disappear one by one. As they try to pass the time by playing games and watching cartoons, they start hearing a menacing voice which beckons them further into darkness.
