We all either love horror films, or hate horror films. What's that film that kept you up at night? The one that you re-watch all the time? The one that made you groan at 'the big reveal'?

Favourite: Evil Dead (2013). It was just insane, wonderfully gory and made you wanna squirm.

Least favourite: Sharkenstein (2016). Watching this film, I gained a new appreciation for Meet The Spartans.

How would you like to feel extremely uneasy and uncomfortable?

Try Skinamarink

This is absolutely an either you love it or hate it film. I can 100% understand why people hate this movie - every single shot in this movie is out of focus and not directly showing you what is happening in the scene. It requires 100% focus to decipher (or come close to) what's going on. It made me feel like a kid in the dark, which is what this movie is about - a brother and sister stuck in their home in a forever night as some entity begins to hunt them.

Content Warning - Child Disfigurement.

If you're looking for a popcorn horror movie to watch with a loved one, skip it. If you're interested in something truly, truly experimental, give it a shot.

Man I’m really happy you enjoyed Skinamarink. I heard the buzz about it and the fear that it instilled in some so I gave it a shot as it sounded really interesting and unfortunately I just couldn’t get into it. Perhaps I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind but I really wanted to be transported back to that fear of the unknown when you were a kid but it didn’t give me that and I really wasn’t into it enough to finish it. Happy for the filmmakers though and I look forward to what they do next.

Yeah it's def avante garde. If you can't get past how it's shot, you're gonna hate it and I don't blame anyone who doesn't like it
