  The Lair of the White Worm 1988

  Skinamarink 2022

  ★★½ Watched 14 Jan 2023

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  MAN I'm sure this is someone’s favourite movie but I am not that person.

  I’m so curious to see the ratings over time for Skinamarink. Considering Ball's YouTube roots, I wonder if it actually works better as a leaked video—watched surreptitiously on your laptop at 1AM, the dark corners of your bedroom ceiling unwilling participants. Watching it on the big screen where the most unrepentantly present horror was the 10 second loop of After Effects film grain set to 250%…
