Review:

Tim: The Skulls is a suspense packed drama. Joshua Jackson is excellent in the starring role, and this film is greatly helped by a wonderful cast. This film blends the perfect amount of drama with the perfect amount of suspense to create a very thrilling movie.

The Skulls was surprising good. I did not expect to see as intelligent a movie as I did. If you enjoy suspense, or are a fan of Jackson’s or Dawson’s Creek, then this movie if a must. I do recommend renting this film. While I doubt it will be anyone’s favorite movie, this film will keep you entertained throughout the duration of its 106 minutes. While the film does have an occasional slow part, overall, the film moves nicely, and is a pleasure to watch.

If you are in the mood for a drama/suspense, then I suggest you pick this one up. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised, and glad that you did.
