Regardless of your thoughts on the movie, Skinamarink is a fascinating case study in independent filmmaking. The experimental horror effort leaked on the festival circuit and proceeded to spread online via word-of-mouth. The buzz resulted in a surprisingly successful theatrical release via IFC Midnight, which in turn helped to make it one of the most polarizing horror movies in recent memory.
Skinamarink has arrived on Blu-ray and DVD with a single special feature, but it’s the one I was hoping for: an audio commentary. Writer-director-editor Kyle Edward Ball and director of photography Jamie McRae casually discuss the making of the film
Here are seven things I learned from the Skinamarink Blu-ray commentary…
1. The film was shot in seven days in Ball’s childhood home for $15,000.
Production took place over the course of seven days, with eight hours or less of shooting each day. Pre-production and post-production, however, were much more time consuming.

Neill Blomkamp, the director of District 9, Elysium, Chappie, Demonic, and the upcoming Gran Turismo, is preparing to go into production on his fifth feature directorial effort – and The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that Joel Kinnaman of The Suicide Squad and the RoboCop remake has signed on to star in the film, an alien abduction thriller called They Found Us.
Although Blomkamp had written the screenplays for his previous films (co-writing District 9 and Chappie with Terri Tatchell), he didn’t write Gran Turismo, and he hasn’t written They Found Us either. This time he’ll be working from a script written by Jeremy Slater (Moon Knight).
They Found Us will see Kinnaman taking on the role of a father who takes his daughter Kaylee on a camping trip in the Utah wilderness, in an effort to heal their broken relationship. When they are attacked by a hostile extraterrestrial lifeform,...

He might not have achieved his aim of directing an Alien movie, but Neill Blomkamp is not done threatening people with extraterrestrials. In this case, Joel Kinnaman will be dealing with pesky space-folk in new alien abduction thriller They Found Us.
Written by Jeremy Slater, the film will follow a father (Kinnaman) and his daughter Kaylee as they undertake a camping trip in the Utah wilderness to heal their broken relationship.
After being attacked by a hostile extraterrestrial life form, their lives – not just their relationship – wind up at stake, as they fight with a humanoid beast to stop their abduction to an unknown and terrifying alien world.
With Blomkamp currently putting the finishing touches to Sony's racing game adaptation Gran Turismo (out on 11 August), filming for this new movie is scheduled for later this year. As for Kinnaman, he has space experience (though not aliens – yet!) thanks to TV For All Mankind.
