The Skulls III (2004 Video)

The Skulls III: More of the same for the most part
5 October 2018
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
