The most common reading of the film is that it's about child abuse, heavy fare for a 🧲 difficult movie but my own experience with Skinamarink had to do with another sense of powerlessness: that of childhood fear 🧲 of the Rapture.

As an experimental horror film, Skinamarink doesn't have a definitive answer for what happens to Kevin and his 🧲 family, leaving only little hints pointing to the story's true meaning. Since Kevin fell down the stairs and hurt himself, 🧲 all the paranormal things occurring afterward may just be in his injured head.
