The final Skulls movie and to be honest I'm surprised they even bothered making a third film. Did the first two films really make that much money? But if the Stones can keep on Rolling then why not let our lovely Hollywood Executives get every penny they can get out of a silly predictable story? Now I did watch this was a completely open mind, since I was wondering what the film would be like if a female tried to join the secret society of the Skulls. This was exactly what I wanted but instead I got the exact same story as I did with the first one, all they did was pretty much replace Joshua Jackson with a female lead. Speaking of which I'm very disappointed as Clare Kramar who portrayed my favorite villain in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and does a great job as well does an absolutely horrific job as well as the other actors in this film.
Taylor Brooks, a new student who aims to become the first female member of the powerful Skulls organization. She does this mainly to impress her father who is a member, his son was meant to take over his role but couldn't handle the pressure and killed himself. Met with resistance from many of The Skulls, Taylor shows that she's willing to resort to any means necessary to gain acceptance. Like the first Skulls movie, she finds out that she may have asked too much to bargain for when she is framed for the murder of her friend.
See my thing is, you can completely tell that this movie was made for money and they were just trying to cash in on anything they could get from these movies. The story is lazy, it's told in every wrong way because it's just a copycat from the first film which was just an average thriller and the actors are just bad. There is no chemistry between anyone and since it seems like there was no passion in the film, how are we as the audience meant to have passion for it? I love the idea having a girl come into the society and her being pressured into having to be accepted by all these boys, but when you later just take the same story, there's no point to it. I thought her just having to be accepted was interesting enough.
I think I could safely say that I wouldn't really recommend any of the Skulls movies, they may be average but they are completely forgettable. They could have been something special but since no one seemed to care about these movies, we didn't. The action scenes are so boring and honestly why do I have to put up with the cliché where a villain instead of shooting "the good guy" and just ending it always stalls and ends up telling his whole plan to her?! I loved how she opens her phone and dials 911 without him noticing, not to mention he acts all surprised when they do find out. I know, it wouldn't have been a film otherwise, but still, that's such a stupid cliché. But like I said, these films are forgettable and I feel bad since I know there are people who really enjoyed the first film, but just stick to that one if you wanted to see The Skulls. That was the only film that was close to good. This film was just plain bad and I do not recommend it to anyone.
