Skullz

About This Movie

Skullz, directed by Deanna Dewey, is an intriguing blend of adventure, fantasy, and horror, wrapped in a school trip gone awry. The film's tone is both eerie and whimsical, capturing that uncanny feeling of childhood curiosity mingled with dread. Scott Collins, our young protagonist, has this psychic link to a skull that reveals dark truths about his family. The pacing ebbs and flows, allowing moments of tension to build before releasing them in unexpected ways. The practical effects on the skull are a highlight – they really sell the creepy vibe without over-reliance on CGI. Performances range from earnest to a bit over-the-top, which adds to the charm. It’s distinct in how it tackles themes of belief and skepticism, especially coming from a kid’s perspective.

Interesting take on childhood fears and beliefs.The practical effects give it a nostalgic feel.Good pacing that keeps you engaged throughout.
