The Skulls III

This film went straight to video, here is why:

The film has the misfortune of following one of the worst sequels of all time. "The Skulls" is a well known film starring Paul Walker, and "The Skulls 2" was the worst explanatory sequel since "Highlander 2." Everybody thought this movie would disappoint because it's a sequel to a bad sequel.

Secondly, "Skulls 3" is a feminist film anachronism. The audience is ready for women in serious roles. "G.I. Jane" was a huge hit. No longer is a film which begs the question 'why can't girls play too?' provocative. The films feminist themes are dated and cliched.

Finally, the obvious nature of the script rivals daytime drama. The roommate actually says, "waddaya know? A sorority girl with a brain!" (when describing herself).

Do not see this movie.

Death is nothing but a survival from this tricky world.No matter what anyone says I think this film is worth watching. Bryce acts as a perfect actor and a girl's real power is shown.Wrong impressions about the weakness of women have to be disappeared and this film may help those kind of thought's owners to change their ideas. After this film I am a fan of (not Steve's) Bryce's and expect many more films from him!..There must be more photos and movies of Bryce Johnson.This is the certain idea of my friends and mine. Although I prefer sci-fi films more than watching these kind of thrillers which include less action but the sense that makes us believe in the doubts is even enjoyable in some parts..

I really liked the original Skulls. There were good actors, writing/script/plot etc. And I haven't seen Skulls II yet (I didn't know there were any sequels until I saw Skulls III was on TV).

Skulls III is poor. The actors are fine, but the plot is so easy to predict. There's no suspense. No surprises. And I'd almost call Skulls III slow most of the time.

Skulls III certainly gives you nothing worth watching for 2 hours. You'd be better off renting/watching the original Skulls again, than to watch this version.

If they plan to make a Skulls IV, bring back the writers and director types which made Skulls (I) a success.

The third and almost certainly final movie in the Skulls franchise goes out on about the same level as the other movies, namely watchable but forgettable.

This time the lead is Clare Kramer who fans of Buffy the Vampire slayer will remember as season 5's antagonist Glorificus (Glory). She's a passable actress, but as a leading lady makes this feel more like a Lifetime original than a Hollywood film.

It tells yet another Skulls story but this one is both original and really really stupid at the same time.

So our lead character is frustrated that the Skulls secret society only recruits men and decides to form an official appeal to get herself in. Yes.............she files an official appeal with a secret society! So much facepalm!

Anyway alike Joshua Jackson and Robin Dunne before her she learns that the Skulls have their secrets and yadayadayada.

This is about on par with the second film in quality, it's watchable stuff but not as clever as it likes to think it is. In fact it's kind of a blend between a Skulls movie and a Columbo episode.

For fans and folks who are really bored.

The Good:

Solid soundtrack

Barry Bostwick

The Bad:

Bafflingly dumb protagonost

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

A girl running through woods in fear as an opening scene is rapidly becoming the most tired movie trope

Three movies in, and given the choice I'd happily still be part of The Skulls

The lead role of this third film about the Skulls (but that can still work pretty well as a stand alone) is Clare Kramer (Glory in the 5th season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer). It's the first movie I saw her in with a leading role and I found her performance to be pretty good.

The overall acting in the movie was fine.

I found the story to be pretty predictable but still enjoyable. There were no pointless or rushed scenes. They succeed in keeping your interest during pretty much all the movie. And everything (I think) is explained at the end.

So an enjoying movie with a good story
