The Skulls II: Directed by Joe Chappelle. With Robin Dunne, Nathan West, Ashley Tesoro, Lindy Booth. After a college student is tapped to join the elite secret Skulls fraternity, he witnesses a girl’s death and his life starts falling apart.

“The premise of the Skulls and itu0026#39;s sequel is that we are looking at the inner workings of one of Americau0026#39;s (fictional) secret societies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnfortunately because it is a sequel it will be compared to the original.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film has the same premise as the first film. A young college student who is u0026#39;tappedu0026#39; to become one of the elite of the elite, a problem crops up and there is a lot of running in fear for the life of our hero.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis installment offers up more sexual energy and more likable (and well played )dislikable characters, a few minor changes in casting could have been made. For instance the abundance of overly WASPish pretty boys. Without debating how ethnically diverse secret societies are, Iu0026#39;m sure all the younger members are not all pretty boys.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story, what little of it was there, does turn the previous movie on itu0026#39;s ear, sort of. Which would have been more refreshing had it had the sence of suspense and wonder of the original and excluded the somewhat rushed-wanna-be-a-cool-plot-twist-but-wasnu0026#39;t ending. Make no mistake though, I am not saying that the first one had a lot of suspense, it just seemed to have more.Unfortunately the performances of the young actors could not bring this movie to life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enAll in all, I would recommend it if you are not looking for much depth or story.If youu0026#39;re looking for a movie to satisfy look for something else. I would give it a 3 out of 10.”
