Fantastic!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Finally got to see this film and I can understand what some people are saying, yes, it's a little slow, but have you seen Sicario??? SLOWWWWW as well and very little action. But the action that's there is pretty good. Same with SKEW. After the build-up and tension, there are moments that shock and surprise. The problem with people these days is that they don't want to THINK. God forbid a movie doesn't spoon-feed you the answers and if you have to do a little critical thinking to figure things out. That's what I like about SKEW. It is unassuming and subtle. It works and I'm happy to say that I almost guessed the ending and when it happened, I was giddy with shock at the horrible idea of what it all meant. If you want lots of guts and gratuitous violence, go somewhere else, but if you're willing to sink into a movie and use your brain a little, then you will have lots to contemplate with SKEW.

This one is a thinker....i had to replay the ending several times because i needed to figure it out for myself. I'm not going to give anything away here, don't worry. But the ending is one that will have you debating with friends, analyzing and theorizing till the wee hours of the morning.The acting was pretty decent on the part of three no-names. I could really feel Simon's anxiety as the camera seems to take on a life of its own. He definitely has some issues. I love the fact that we never get to really see what Simon looks like throughout the film. The actors who played Rich and Eva were believable in that they were an affectionate couple being pushed apart by their paranoid friend.I agree with some of the reviewers on here who paid attention and that yes, it's not a found-footage film per se, it is just a film about someone filming. Right away everyone assumes it is found-footage just because the main character carries around a camera. Well-played! Although some parts seemed a little drawn out, i understand that this was intended to build tension and capture the feeling of truly being on a road-trip...sometimes there are moments along the way that go on and nothing super-adventurous happens...that's why this felt very realistic to me.Overall, I love the premise and I wonder if there could be a sequel somehow...would love to see the camera pop up in a pawn shop for some other unsuspecting victim...

I love finding a low rated horror and squirreling out superior quality through the reviews.This time me faily. Total irritation The idea is clever, but it depends on telling the story through the camera, and the camera work is awful, the camera-man character irritating. So many scenes where the angle is static and we're supposed to use our imagination - but it's simply boring. Boredom. Irritation. Boredom through irritation. Irritoredom.I did like the rewind technique for the final reveal, but I suspect that was the whole point and what went before was just an excuse to get there. Not good enough.In the end it's an editor's production, with no idea how to deliver character.Uggh.

I really enjoyed this film. I expected the same old hand held crap that we've seen over and over again but this one had something different. Granted, it took a bit to get there. You have to wait about a half-hour in and then it really begins. That's where the fun actually starts. Because at this point I was glued due to the, "What the hell just happened there?" factor. As a matter of fact, I had to go back and watch the first part again when the film was over because I had so many questions, and quite frankly, I wanted to see if the film followed its own rules and dropped any hints along the way. It did!I know this movie won't be for everyone. To be honest, those who like found footage films may not actually like it. It's the audience that has never seen a found footage film that should watch it. In a weird way, it reminded me a bit on Nolan's Memento or even Inception. Not for the quality, which is fine here due to the "video camera look", but for the story-line. It's just very well thought out.For those who want to see a good film that actually makes you pay attention, watch Skew. You won't be disappointed.
