Kyle Edward Ball's Skinamarink was a surprising but bona fide viral success. Based on Ball's own 2020 short film Heck, the experimental horror movie made over two million dollars at the box office, despite a limited release. Skinamarink owed most of its success and enduring cult popularity to simultaneously befuddled yet enthusiastic word-of-mouth. This divisive response came in part from the film's deliberate avoidance of typical narrative structures and easy answers, opting instead for mood and tone as a primary aim. The film does have a story, but many viewers were left wondering: what exactly was going on in Skinamarink?
