Leave your thoughts about Crush the Skull.
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiEasily the most thrilling thriller in recent memory, Crush the Skull seems destined for cult status. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzClever black comedy horror-crime thriller. |
| The PlaylistTimothy TauExtremely entertaining and well-crafted, Crush The Skull promises a bright future in genre films for Nguyen. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordFeaturing artful photography tightly edited by its director..."Crush the Skull" is far worthier of your time than most of what passes for commercial comedy these days - if you can take some splatter. |
| User ReviewMarina SThis movie is hilarious and amazingly suspenseful at the same time. Also love the acting in it. There is something in it for everyone. Definitely recommend! |
| User ReviewAugust AThis was really funny and actually scary, too. I've never seen a movie quite like this. Reminds me of what scary movie was trying to be in a way but scary movie didn't succeed. Hollywood reporter is SO wrong. This movie is great. Glad I found it. |
| User ReviewKim HWhen we went to Comic Con in Chicago we went to a couple of panels on Asians (or the lack of) in films, so this one really stood out to me since two of the main characters are Asian. And the other thing that stood out was that the main female was very intelligent, even though the guys refused to listen to her. Blair (Katie Savoy), said they should leave during the first heist, but her boyfriend didn't, which caused them trouble. Then in the house, she wanted them to all stay together and go upstairs to call for help, and of course that didn't happen. And there were a couple of other things she called out, but the others ignored her. I enjoyed the game of cat and mouse that the killer played with them in the house, and the various ways people got killed/maimed were pretty good. There was some humor thrown in to keep from suspense overload, which is always appreciated. They don't really touch on why the guy is killing people, but in a way that makes it even more scary. Some people are just psycho. Sometimes the acting seemed a little over the top, but they could have been trying to add a bit more comedy this way. If you're looking for something not too heavy on gore, and with a killer toying with his victims, I would say this is one to watch. |
| User ReviewKruunch AA surprisingly good indie horror movie. Crush the Skull appears to be a very predictable hostage/slasher movie (which it is) but has fun with itself poking fun at genre staples (Joss Whedon would be proud) while entertaining the audience with snappy dialogue, fun turns and excellent acting. |
| User Reviewflozen oI'm giving it 3 stars because I was at least entertained enough to watch the whole movie. The acting wasn't good and the majority of the suspense was a direct result of the stupid things the characters do - which is everything even an amateur horror fan knows they shouldn't. The attempt at humor didn't work at all either. |
| User ReviewStephen BWhile the story works and the acting works the continual attempt at comedy doesn't. It's annoying and detracts from ever feeling any sense of fear. It really does let the whole movie down. |
