As far as found footage (which I watch a lot though frankly I'm beginning to wonder why I bother since there is so much garbage among the few decent films).The plot is somewhat familiar, three friends go on a road trip, one of the guys is in love with the other guys' girlfriend and blah blah. Then a "possessed camera" begins causing all kind of havoc.I didn't find it terrible though and gave it a few stars based on a somewhat original premise.As far as the dramatic reveal and ending which has caused much speculation, let me put it simply. Essentially the camera was possessed and anyone it filmed ended up dead. Simon even alludes to this being the case but hey, that's no reason to destroy it or anything. As far as the reveal, big deal at the end he rewinds the footage and we see his face in the mirror (for the first time) hence he too was damned having inadvertently filmed himself. Not something you have to go to Grad school to understand. Overall a pedestrian effort but I've seen much worse which isn't saying much for the found footage genre.

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.

I just caught this on The Horror Channel and I'm somewhat perplexed what it was doing there . As the threadbare story unravels the possible horror element is people having distorted faces that led me to believe that I might be watching something along the lines of John Carpenter's THEY LIVE where a special camera alerts the viewer to alien infiltration and a scene of violence at the end but I doubt if SKEW is about alien invasions It's also a very boring film like so many lost footage movies . One can understand low to no budget producers using this format since it requires little money for expensive cameras , film and a star cast but many of us consider the art of cinema as telling a visual story and these type of movies usually revolve around realist situations that are so realistic you could easily make the same film on your I-pod In short this is very banal seen it all before stuff with guerrilla film standard production values . Unless I missed something it's not a horror movie and I'm very sceptical about other comments stating that you have to watch a couple of times in order to get it . I strongly doubt if I'll be watching this again

This movie had a lot of elements that I look for in movies but are so hard to find! Talented but unknown/little known actors (no offense to the cast!), a unique plot, or unique plot elements, thriller/horror is my fav genre, & it should leave a little to the imagination. Well done! It built the plot up slowly, but always moving, and it had plenty of suspense but no gore. It kept my attention the whole time. Admittedly I had to read a bit to fill in some gaps, but I blame myself, not Sevé. His explanations were thorough and fit in well, it definitely improved my opinion of a movie I already liked.I was hoping #Sevé Schelenz had a slew of other movies for me to peruse, but I guess I have to wait to see more. Something to look forward to! I did my research, and up next is Peelers... I can't wait!
