I've seen a bunch of mixed reviews and decided to check Skew for myself. It in the hand-held selfshot/found footage style that's honestly become over saturated in the horror genre of late.

we have Rich, Eva, and Simon. Death seems to be following them around, literally? I'm not sure what the message the writer/director was trying to project here. Honestly this film seems like it's based off only a half formed idea.

In other words it's just not all that cohesive- especially the end, which is a bit lackluster, anti-climatic and honestly doesn't explain very much as to the actual events. It manages to gain my attention in some places only to lose my interest in others.

like I said, not horrible, yet still pretty far from being polished.

OK so not a great movie overall, yet still better than some of the stuff you'd for syfy channel movies. Characters are all one dimensional, clearly labeled, family, couple in love, couple in trouble, big guy with gun, annoying guy,the guy who can kind of guess what's going on, etc, etc. yeah the acting isn't all that great.

The premise -subterranean creatures coming up eating people and taking over, not that original but it kept my attention- with the victims you know nobody is safe. designs for the creatures look really cheap for a full length feature, but if you went to a Halloween party and saw some dude dressed up as one of said creatures, I'd be impressed. there were times when the tail manipulation was very CGI.

all in all, slow intro, some slightly interesting stuff in the middle , and a not so good ending. I'd recommend this is you haven't anything else to watch or to have a MST3K style viewing with friends.
