Skull: The Mask

Definitely a slow burner. The practical effects are pretty neat when they come up. But it’s a pretty messy story all in all. But if you just want something with some gore it’s worth a watch.

It's a slow burn for awhile after the initial opening prologue, but the carnage is well worth the wait; the kills in this movie are visceral and extra splatter-y, and the gore is more than plentiful. The practical effects here are fantastic, with some kills kinda reminding me of the likes of Victor Crowley and Chromeskull. Some seriously impressive stuff! Even with the few gripes I have with the story and information given, the practical effects and the killer's design easily make up for it. Skull is a brutal, menacing slasher rather reminiscent of Jason Voorhees in demeanor and stature, but his mask and the way he brutalizes his victims in the name of his evil god, alongside the way his body becomes more grotesque and blood-drenched the more he kills and absorbs their organs, really sets him apart. Overall, despite the somewhat loaded and occasionally messy story, the pace is decent after the first 20 or so minutes, and the cheesy, gory fun caused by Skull after he starts his killing spree far outweighs the majority of downsides this movie has. It's not perfect, but it's a bloody good time for old school slasher fans and gore hounds. Easy 4 out of 5! I hope they make a sequel.

Definitely a strange execution on this movie but I still really enjoyed it because I like weird as long as it's not too over the top . Side stories felt a little forced into the plot but had good gore with a cool character looking like a comic book villan. Atleast we get a backstory to everything happening which is very important.

Weirdly entertaining. Would like to see more stuff like this on the channel.

I'm not into blood and gore but I liked it for the archeological, demonic, and ritual aspects of the story.
