ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Topaz1922 Let me just tell you that I love movies that are suspenseful with a twist. Although the reviews had already warned me who the killer was in this movie, towards the end I started thinking that it was another main character who had turned out to be insane. Either way it would have worked for me.Treat Williams and Jonathan Jackson played well off each other in this disturbed father-son relationship thriller. This movie truly shows how tragic childhoods can affect children in their later years. If you like movies about tragic childhood pasts that come back to bite, then this is a good movie for you.

sibisi73 The first thing to get past is the fact that this straight-to-video thriller is shot on video, and, as such, looks low budget, and feels like a TV show. But once you can get past that, the video works in its favour, encouraging you to take more from the performances and the story. It's seemingly more realistic, with, literally a clearer view of what's going on. The direction is very simple, but this helps to concentrate on the characters and the plot.The three leads give credible performances, and there are enough ambiguities in the story to keep you guessing until the end (despite some unfortunate holes in credibility). A bigger budget and bigger stars would easily see this type of thing in your local cinema. As it is, a competent thriller, a surprising straight-to-video hit.

buffyphreak Don't get me wrong, this is not a great film or anything like that. But I think that it's a surprising lot of fun for what it is, a cheesy TV movie that features good acting and a surprisingly respectable script. Treat Williams plays the same concerned dad as he does in "Everwood," with the difference being that his son in this movie is a murdering sociopath instead of a misunderstood loner. His son is played by Jonathon Jackson, who keen eyes will remember from Chris Nolan's "Insomnia," holding his own against Al Pacino. Clearly, the kid is going places. Frankly, I can't figure out WHAT Linda Hamilton was thinking when she took what is essentially a time-filling bit part, but she is good as always. Also good in her supporting role as Jackson's girlfriend is an actress whose name escapes me now, but she's been on "Dawson's Creek" and was quite enjoyable in her "trying to save the bad guy" role in this flick. The plot of this movie centers around a possible serial killer (Jackson), his worried dad, who suspects him (Williams), and a fire and possible abuse that took place years before, making the kid what he is. The directing and cinematography of "Skeletons" is what kills and corners it as a TV movie instead of a real movie. The cameraman was... uh, well, drunk? That's the only thing I can think of. Also, the movie clearly cost about ten dollars to make. Regardless, if you like Court TV and/or cheesy TV movies, this is right up your alley. I thoroughly enjoyed this fun little movie for what it is. I really do admire the actors for working very well with what they had and keeping the movie decent.

hmorsey This is a slightly scary movie about a teenager(Jackson) with psychological problems due to a bad childhood. When his father(williams) starts dating a coworker(Hamilton), Jackson tries to get her to think that his father is a paranoid psycho.
