SKINAMARINK (Off the CUFF)

 

On January 13 and 14, CUFF will host two Off the CUFF screenings of SKINAMARINK at Globe Cinema, as part of the film's national release. Following its world premiere at the 2022 Fantasia International Film Festival, Edmonton Director Kyle Edward Ball's micro-budget horror has been a cult internet sensation, and is one of the most anticipated horror films of the year. 

Two children wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing, and all the windows and doors in their home have vanished. To cope with the strange situation, the two bring pillows and blankets to the living room and settle into a quiet slumber party situation. They play well-worn videotapes of cartoons to fill the silence of the house and distract from the frightening and inexplicable situation. All the while in the hopes that eventually some grown-ups will come to rescue them. However, after a while, it becomes clear that something is watching over them.
