The Skulls was definitely an interesting concept, and contained some truly intriguing moments however good writing alone could not save this film. The bad acting (especially by Jackson and Harper) overshadows what could have been otherwise great moments in the film. However as a whole the acting did not affect the integrity and overall quality of the film. It truly does make one wonder, what this film could have been, had they actually attempted to cast better actors. The film was good, but left more to be desired. Its still entertainment and a viewer could do much worse than this movie, however they most likely could also do much better. Unless you have nothing better to watch and have two hours to waste, you should try your hand at another movie. The idea alone of The Skulls as a secret society was most likely what spawned the sequels, not this film.
