Crush the Skull

If this were a straight up horror it could've been so good because the premise is great. But the comedy injected throughout the film fell flat and out of place each time and to the point where it became annoying. And the more the film went on the more absurd it became. Not recommended.

So this film is about a group of 4 finding the hidden underground lair of a serial killer while attempting a burglary. Not a new idea but when it is done well, the concept can prove to be an captivating thriller. This falls short but I am willing to give credit where credit is due. First my complaints. These are some of the most inept criminals ever. They don't do their homework. They try to be funny but just come off as stupid and they are some of the most out of breath people ever. (The heavy breathing really got old.) When you finally see the killer you have to stop and try to figure out why this type of character would be living in a house like this. They didn't fit each other. The acting left a lot to be desired and the special effects were cheesy. Where were all the other captives? What I liked was this genre of movie. I also liked that they tried (somewhat) to make the lair look like it had some ingenuity to it. I also appreciated that they made the house impenetrable from the inside. Getting in was easy but getting out wasn't. Look , this isn't a big budget blockbuster but I was able to sit through it. It needed some work and polish. I'm just trying to give the best review I can on a movie that doesn't have a lot to offer but it was a semi-good effort put forth.
