Pop Skull

I don't quite know what was supposed to happen with this movie. I don't understand what was supposed to be scary. I don't understand how the strange lights, flashing, camera tricks, etc. are supposed to be scary or creepy. As I was yawning, I stopped the movie unable to finish the last 30 minutes or care that I didn't finish it.

Believe me, I saw lots of horror movies. But not even one compares to that waste of time that "Pop Skull" is. You thought "Haunted boat" or "Seven mummies" or "Chain reaction" are bad? Wait until you see this and bore yourself to death. Literally, with every passing minute of this movie you feel you life being sucked from you and you want to scream and scream again! I saw this at the cinema and half of the people just escaped from the theater after the first half, where nothing happened. Nothing happened in the second half either... And they call that horror, when there isn't a single scary moment in the whole movie!

The movie "Pop Skull" written by E.L Katz, Lane Hughes, and directed by Adam Wingard is in my opinion the example of an ideal horror. The story is about Daniel and his heartache which has been caused by his girlfriend. When they broke up, Daniel got depressed. He couldn't differentiate between dream and reality. The atmosphere of that movie is dark and creppy like the Edgar Allan Poe's prose. Wingard captured that sense of fear and put it on the screen, in every movie shot. "Pop Skull" has great music, noble photos and excellent acting.The main character Daniel played by Lane Hughes is so stunning and authentic. The movie language of Pop Skull is hard, obscure and dramatic. The Hounted motif was used very genuine and subtly. When you watch Pop skull it's impossible not to be scared.

Great job Adam.

If you suffer from seizures or classic migraines, stay away from this movie. There is a ton of flashing in it.

It is too artsy for its own good. A pill head is haunted. Are there actual ghosts, or is he hallucinating? Don't know, and by the end of this, you really won't care.

I get that we are seeing things from the perspective of the main character, who is an unreliable narrator. We are seeing his depression over a breakup. His fear of being alone. His growing hatred for, well, what seems like everyone.

We see his growing paranoia. So are the pills causing him to have a psychotic break? Maybe?

I don't tend to need the story line fed to me. But not being able to watch any of the flashing scenes and having to hit the 10 seconds forward key over and over did take something away from this for me. Like, did I miss something that advanced the story?

It is slow, and I felt because of that I couldn't pay enough attention to it.

This movie has got to be the worst movie I have ever seen. Honestly I am sorry to say at and I'm sorry if the directors and actors read this, but its true. There is absolutely no horror in this film. My friend rented it and we watched along with some other friends and I'm telling you the truth out of the 6 of us that were watching the movie 4 fell asleep, including me. The other 2 left, and I then watched it the next day thinking I was just tired the day before, but no this film is lame. Im sorry to be so cruel, but I have no idea how this actually won any award or why people say it is the best low budget film made so far. If you wanna see a scary low budget movie then watch Paranormal Activity. In conclusion this movie is horrifying.... horrifyingly awful. I think the only way this movie will seem scary and good is if I'm either drunk,stoned, or a depressed emo kid. The only thing I did like about this move was the girl Morgan(Hannah Hughes) She looked really pretty.
