do you have any recs for who to watch? I did the same thing with Midsomar (never saw it, only watched videos ABOUT it) and that ended up freaking me out so bad. XD

Oh man, Midsomar! I actually did watch that one (went in totally blind too) and it fucked me pretty bad. Mainly the first scene, though. It was a weird movie for me in that the first scene got in my head so, so intensely and fucked me up so much that it kind of unbalanced the whole movie for me. No matter how horrifying the movie got after that, I was like, "Kay, but you've already done the most horrifying thing you can do." It's been like two years and I'm still really ambivalent about it!

Okay, RE: Skinamarink vids, I'm struggling to remember which of the vids I watched were my favorites.

I really liked Wendigoon's video about it, but it is pretty long:

Ryan Hollinger's vids about horror movies are pretty much always really solid, so I'd rec his, too (plus it's a more manageable length):

Also, if you want a reasonable, fairly light review from someone who didn't vibe with it very much, then amandathejedi covered it, too.

I'm the same, will probably never watch the movie because it is way too efficient in weaponizing my own imagination against me. But I've been watching a lot of reviews and analysis, including the ones already recced above. I would add OneTake's What SKINAMARINK Is Really About, QJDWG's Skinamarink: Answers Aren't Scary, daniel profeta's The Lingering Terror of Skinamarink... and then there's the short ASMR-style mood piece by Acolytes of Horror Skinamarink Followed Me Home (a spoiler-free warning).

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, yeah, OneTake's vid is one I was forgetting! Seconding that! I don't think I've seen the others, so I'll be checking those out. Sometime before 5 PM, so I don't sabotage my sleep yet again. XD

Just watched The Lingering Terror Of Skinamarink, and thought it was really good! It would be a great one for someone who just wanted to watch one single short-ish vid that effectively conveys the movie.

I also really liked what he said in defense of the movie's length/pacing. He's the first person I've heard definitively speak in favor of those aspects, and I think he makes a really important point about them. A big part of what the movie is doing is wearing you down and tiring you out, so that you become disoriented and tangled in its ambiguous but binding narrative threads. Forcing you to remain maximally engaged with its eerie, relentless vacancy in the knowledge that you can't afford to relax, until you're mentally exhausted and your psychological defenses are weak.

I completely understand why that doesn't work for a lot of people, but I definitely do see the point in it.
