Amazingly terrible

I never saw the first Skulls and only saw this one because it was the only movie at the Red Cross I hadn't seen when I was giving a Platelettes donation. It's mind boggling to me that this film was even made. I find it hard to believe that someone, somewhere in the industry saw this script and said "yeah, this is good, we could make a great movie with this..."

A secret society inducts some members into its group. Apparently, the members are really stupid, because they believe amazingly idiotic stories about who girl who supposedly fell off the ceiling, was only doing it for a good cause. The current members are all sinister looking characters who will go to great lengths to cover up an accident, but will call 911 right away when one of their members is supposedly injured in a secret ceremony. They all get expensive credit cards and nice motorcycles, yet it's never clear where all the money for this comes from. There are so many plot holes in this stupid film, it's hard to believe someone in charge didn't finally go "hey, but wait a minute..." Really, the "No Homers" society on the Simpsons was more believable than this.

The movie was awful and like I say, it was totally surprising to me that someone greenlighted it in the first place, but what's even more amazing is that I see they actually made a THIRD ONE! If a movie this bad can still get another sequel, we can only pray that the makers of "From Justin to Kelly" don't get any ideas.
