A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I like how realistic this movie felt. I instantly was interested in watching this when i found out it was about a road trip. I love road trips and the director does a great job of capturing the feel and mood of a road trip. There are moments of goofy-ness and then there are moments of the regular everyday stuff that one has to deal with that isn't all that eventful. So there's a really genuine feel about this movie. All the characters have their own unique personalities but I was mostly drawn to Eva. She was quiet, yet caring. But something didn't feel quite right with her. Almost like she has this ominous, foreboding, intuitive sense going on around her and this feeling is what permeates throughout the film. Her trepidation sort of sets the mood as the film gets progressively darker and darker. This one is definitely a thinker. Especially the ending. I had to rewind it a couple of times to see it again and again and really had to step back and assess the situation in order to figure it out. Once I did, I realized, the dark reality of it and thought what a great ending but you really have to pay attention. A great little indie gem.

Interesting... that's the word to describe it. Very slow at times. So slow that I almost turned it off but I decided to stay with it and I'm happy I did. Right from the get go you can tell there is not a large budget to this film. It is definitely not a Hollywood movie. What really works for the film is how smart it is. Kind of like a puzzle where you have to put the pieces together. The dialog between the characters is very lifelike. And that can be seen as a detriment as a lot that is happening in their conversations is not that exciting. But it's the little bits of information here and there that adds up. There is also this one inciting incident that really makes you jump because you're not ready for it, and then you're hooked right to the end. Some use the word slow-burn to describe this film. Yes, that's definitely what this is. Slow- burn and tension. You will get hooked if you go for the ride. The ending is one to ponder over. I can see how some find it anticlimactic. But if you pay attention, it will all pay off in the end.

Actually, it's pretty good. I've seen my fair share of the found footage films and for the most part, they are really all the same. But Skew is a little different. Can't say too much without giving the gimmick away but let's just say that most films of this ilk use the hand held/found footage device as just a style, Skew does not. The camera becomes an integral part of the story telling process. Be aware this is a slow-burn of a movie. It makes you think and work as a viewer and that is a good thing. It doesn't really get going until about a half-hour in so have patience and pay attention. It's really a fun ride. I recommend for people who want a little something different from the usual fare. Also, be aware it appears to be a low-budget film. Not a Hollywood movie trying to look like found footage.

If you have worked a long day or just simply feel lethargic, please stay far away from this film. Skew is extremely languid but with a purpose. The slow tension just builds and builds until beguiling results are achieved. It's not really a found footage film, it's more like just a hand-held pov type film. The acting is very good for the budget and the limited special effects are well done. It's not quite as good as Evil Things or Evidence but it definitely has a leg up on 75% of this found footage sub genre. So if you are insipid please grab a cup of strong starbucks coffee ( ask for Candace ) and give this one a shot because the results are palatable.
