Nice insights on these films. I do feel Skinamrink can serve has a portal into the subconscious of children possibly in comas or their last memories, but I have to say I agree with you guys that found it to be a slog after the 70 min mark. I think this would have been far more effective and unsettling as a series of shorts, or if it wrapped up at the 75 mins mark. It also needed to be more varied, even David Lynch adds various characters and tones to his nightmarish atmosphere. I should seek out “Heck.”
