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!?"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

0/4
"It’s amazing that so many viewers were still seated by the time the end credits began to roll."  Cinemaphile.org  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"Dull and oddly outdated, only the lush photography by Hurlbut, accentuating its gorgeous Toronto-based setting, saves the picture from being a surefire cure for insomniacs."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

C-
"A movie populated entirely by stupid people doing stupid things, yet it somehow escapes being anything more than mildly irritating."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

F
"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."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

D-
"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."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

"You'll probably want to skip this picture."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

6/10
"If you don't mind a cheap thrill...this one's definitely made for you!"  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

1.5/5
"Fans of the young leads and aspiring MST3K writers may enjoy this balderdash; others are advised not to waste their time."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  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."  TheMovieReport.com  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."  eFilmCritic.com  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."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Susan Granger
