10 Terrible Horror Movies That Tricked You Into Thinking They’re Good

10. Skinamarink

In 2020, director Kyle Edward Ball made the short film Heck (mind your language) as proof of concept for his wider creative vision, Skinamarink.

Two years later and Ball's dream came true when this supernatural horror finally hit the big screens. Unfortunately, not everyone was thrilled with the end result.

Much like Heck, Skinamarink tells the story of two children who wake up in the night to find that their father has gone missing. Oh, and all the windows and doors are also disappearing. And there's probably no food in the fridge, knowing their luck.

As the two kids attempt to find out what's going on, they get drawn into stranger and stranger scenarios. By the end of the movie, you've got absolutely no clue what's going on or what any of it means.

Whilst some people found this profound, others were profusely frustrated by the whole thing. There's a nugget of something decent in here, but there just isn't enough substance to this film to fill its runtime convincingly.

As nice as it was for Ball to get his first feature length release, Skinamarink would have worked better if it had stayed a short film.
