The only thing The Skulls does well is put viewers to sleep. There's nothing to recommend in this sad, boring queer-baity "thriller"

| Apr 3, 2021

Dumb, interminable and (worst of all) boring.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 31, 2021

| Original Score: B- | Sep 7, 2011

The usually dependable Rob Cohen directs from a ludicrous script.

It's amazing that so many viewers were still seated by the time the end credits began to roll.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Mar 10, 2007

Initially tolerable but increasingly stupid.

| Mar 5, 2007

The movie's unintentionally played like a comedy all the way.

| Feb 9, 2006

...above-average teen thriller.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 1, 2003

It is so unbelievably ludicrous that I couldn't help but think that it was intentional despite Rob Cohen's constant attempts to convince me otherwise.

| Original Score: F | May 22, 2003

[Cohen] has a knack for making the most ridiculous material suspenseful.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 20, 2003

A dark, stupid tale.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 8, 2003

The filmmakers would rather exploit and inflame a class war than deconstruct it.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002

Through pure mismanagement, The Skulls bungles a rich seam of material.

| Dec 2, 2002

With large amounts of alcohol and the right friends, it might be a Mystery Science Theater 3000-level hoot. Otherwise, The Skulls is a crime against humanity.

| Original Score: F | Aug 26, 2002

Empty-headed piffle.

| Mar 24, 2002

In an otherwise boneheaded hour and a half of intrigue and silliness, The Skulls does offer one of the more memorable lines of dialogue in recent movies.

I guess it wouldn't have been enough to just make an intelligent and gripping drama about Ivy League secret societies. No, we had to have a murder, coverup, good guys, bad guys, and so on.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 10, 2001

This is a straight to video job.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 30, 2001

Would be scary if it weren't so stupid.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Oct 10, 2001

If there was an Oscar for the Silliest Movie Category, then The Skulls might be in with a good chance of winning.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 17, 2001
