Skinamarink

A horror film shot in the dark, in a house, from a child's height, with almost nothing happening for a hundred minutes, which became a TikTok phenomenon in January 2023 and split the internet into 'terrifying' and 'nothing happens'. The record's entry for the film as a dare.

Died by spring, and the record notes it was 'the Skinamarink of' anything slow and dark for a year, which is more than most films get as an adjective.

Working definition, for the file: Skinamarink is what you call it once you have seen it three times in one day and twice from people who should know better.
