Profoundly terrible stuff.

I also saw Skinamarink last night because the girlfriend wanted to compare them. My feelings are that Skinamarink is worse because at least things happen in The Outwaters. Most of it sucks, but stuff happens.

Skinamarink is just all just a perfectly set up idea that is completely fucking fumbled. Like all they literally had to do was ditch all of the experimental stuff and just put a real plot there. Skinamarink had like two actually good scenes but it doesn't mean much if the rest of the movie is just absolute nonsense and trash.

The Outwaters makes me more annoyed thinking about it though, mostly because of how lazy it all feels and how they could absolutely do something interesting and good with the idea but, again, cuts out everything that would make it good or interesting.

What kills me are critics fawning over these things and talking about how good they are. I feel like a crazy person reading these positive reviews of The Outwaters and coming out like "How in the hell could anyone come to these conclusions or pretend this was actually scary after the first 5-10 minutes of actually scary stuff?"
