Skeleton Krew

Plot:

One by one a group of workers are stalked and killed by a mysterious masked figure during a 12 hour night shift in a factory facing closure.

Review:

This is one horror slasher that is by the book in every way. Its just before a factory closes down and a series of murders start to occur as the night shift staff are being picked off one by one by a masked killer. As usual the finger points at everyone throughout the movie, there's a big reveal at the end like most slashers when we find out the killer and bodies start showing up. Its all good low budget fun with cool gore effects and practical effects.

The cast is fine a group of unknown actors that are fun to watch except for Justyna Koss who is terrible and thankfully doesn't last long.

First time writer/director Darragh Clancy direction is pretty good for the type and there's good tension created to some of the deaths. The final face-off between remaining girl and killer is also very entertaining.

The Script is fun with good dialogue.

An overall well shot and cut movie but I didn't like some transition shots used.

In my opinion a fun low budget slasher movie......

I really enjoyed this movie. It has to be taken for what it is - a salute to the slasher genre. The irony might be lost on some people, but the clue is in the blurb - classic slasher with plenty of movie references and humour along the way. It won me over with the nod to Sean Connery - you might see it, you might miss it, you might get it, you might not, either way the viewer is treated as intelligent enough to pick up on subtle details. The script is well written (I thought the canteen conversation was trying a little too hard) and the acting is a better standard than you might expect for the price. It's clearly made to a budget, and that's only as it should be for a proper B movie. Danny Trejo has given us some very good (and woefully bad) big budget B movies recently, but this is the genuine article independent, made on a shoestring, up-and-coming director and cast. A movie that has character of it's own, well worth a watch.

Right from the start you know who survives and from then on going back it goes down hill, the plot is weak and so is the acting. I have been an avid fan of horror but this is one joke of a so called horror film, bad acting but most of all down to the script writer and directing. if you want a scare go see a good movie there are plenty out there, this is cringworthy at it's worst and I don't say that lightly.

Please movie land don't insult true horror buffs intelligence by turning out this type of rubbish, I feel insulted watching this film as a horror fan so I did what comes naturally see to the end and find I was right it was rubbish.

I really enjoyed this movie! As was pointed out this was made on a small budget and the result was a great movie with a some real humour at times that will leave you guessing right up till the end. Its great to see more Independent movies like this little gem being made as Hollywood spews out the same stuff over and over again. Movies like this are a breath of fresh air and the people behind them the next generation of Masters in this Genre. I have always been a fan of old slasher flicks and this is now up there with the best of them for me. I think reviewers like the "horror buff" that left his negative comment in this section need to stop trolling.
