1.5/5
"A secret society so powerful it can get away with murder. A secret society so exclusive it firebrands everyone who joins with its mark. A secret society so secret... it has a big logo up on top of the building!?"

0/4
"It’s amazing that so many viewers were still seated by the time the end credits began to roll."

David Keyes
2.5/4
"...above-average teen thriller."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
1/4
"Dull and oddly outdated, only the lush photography by Hurlbut, accentuating its gorgeous Toronto-based setting, saves the picture from being a surefire cure for insomniacs."

"A movie populated entirely by stupid people doing stupid things, yet it somehow escapes being anything more than mildly irritating."

"It is so unbelievably ludicrous that I couldn't help but think that it was intentional despite Rob Cohen's constant attempts to convince me otherwise."

"An utterly boneheaded movie."

One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1.5/4
"The contrivances pile up more quickly than snowfall in a Buffalo winter, and the ending is so lame that it provoked guffaws from theater-goers attending the screening along with me."

James Berardinelli
"You'll probably want to skip this picture."
Screen It!

6/10

"Fans of the young leads and aspiring
MST3K
writers may enjoy this balderdash; others are advised not to waste their time."

Maitland McDonagh
0/4
"One big problem with the film from the start: I never understood why being a Skull was so special in the first place."

Michael Dequina
2/5
"I guess it wouldn't have been enough to just make an intelligent and gripping drama about Ivy League secret societies. No, we had to have a murder, coverup, good guys, bad guys, and so on."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
6/10
"The story looks promising up to a point, but then it gets downright silly with a series of car chases and improbable coincidences."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
3/10
"Would be scary if it weren't so stupid."

Scott Weinberg
6/10
"Laughable plot pushes
The Skulls
to brink of absurdity."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
1/10
"Don't even bother renting the eventual video."
