Famous Secret Societies include The Knights Templar, The Freemasons, The Illuminati, Skull and Bones and many more. There is so much mystery surrounding these groups that people love to explore the idea of these groups.
For many years movies have used the idea of secret societies to make movies. These films range from very good films to shall we say not so good.
Now the good folks at Mill Creek Entertainment are releasing a trilogy of films The Skulls collected together on Blu-ray for the first time ever.
Our Rating System:
****=Don’t Miss it!
***=Worth a look.
**=An Ok way to spend an evening.
*=You haven’t missed anything.
The Skulls (2000) When a working-class college student is invited to join the secret society known as The Skulls, he thinks it's a dream come true - until his roommate turns up dead. ***
The Skulls II (2002) Secrets prove deadly when a Skulls member witnesses a brutal murder in the society's chambers, and his own life is in jeopardy when he tries to expose the truth. **
The Skulls III (2004) A young, overachieving coed attempts to pledge the traditionally all-male Skulls, but her willingness to break their taboos will put the lives of everyone around her at risk. **
Sometimes it is better to leave well enough alone. The first Skull film is fairly decent. Not spectacular, but an okay little film. It also didn't hurt that this film has Paul Walker (Fast and the Furious), Joshua Jackson (TV's Fringe), Craig T. Nelson (TV's Coach), Christopher MacDonald (Thelma and Louise) Leslie Bib (Iron Man), William Peterson (TVs C.S.I.) and Nigel Bennett (TV's Forever Knight) in the cast.
Than Skulls 2 and 3 really dip in the story and acting. By no means are these films unwatchable, but you can tell that maybe the idea of sequels shouldn't have been explored.
Mill Creek Entertainment have transferred all three of these films in 1080p in widescreen 1.85.1 aspect ratio. The audio soundtrack is an English DTS-HD MA 5.1. There is also English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.
Now you might think that cramming three over 100 minute films on one Blu-ray disc you might expect some compression issues. But as I examined these films I didn't see any. Now the films are not in pristine condition there is some dirt and specks in the picture, but these are very minor and should not be an issue to the viewer.
Now for bonus feature there are none. But when you think you are getting three full length feature films on one disc. That is probably a good thing as putting bonus features on this disc would cause compression issues in the playback.
