First, let me preface by saying that I have been an artist my entire life. It's what I did for a living, and I love art and creativity in all forms. But this is not art.

Skinamarink is a really creative creepy concept executed in perhaps the worst way possible. It is long, boring, and not particularly pleasant to look it. It made my eyes tired...straining to see if anything was happening, which of course, nothing was.

If this were made as a 30 minute short it would have been pretty good. But 2 hours of grainy footage of mostly static images was just way too much for me. It actually gave me a headache.

I usually tend to like Australian films, and this one falls in line with that. It also has some alien/zombie/parasite/possession type stuff, so it was right in my wheelhouse.

While it's not a blockbuster, it does a nice job with a limited budget. The acting was good, the cinematography was good, and the story was good. There are a number of shots that are very quirt and still, and very creepy. You'll know what I mean if you watch it.

The thing is, you have to watch it to the very end. This who rate it badly and say they didn't even watch the whole thing missed it. That's why they don't like it. It starts slow and gradually picks up and then wraps things up nicely at the end.

It won't blow you away, but it's definitely worth a watch.
