The Skulls III

The Skulls IIILess notable as a sequel than for sitcom weenie Barry Bostwick‘s return to the manicured mayhem better showcased in Project: Metalbeast (a.k.a. the finest CIA-werewolf movie ever made).

"The Skulls," of course, are Hollywood’s Blockbuster-friendly take on Yale’s infamous "Skull and Bones" secret society. Of which both 2004 presidential candidates are members as are a disproportionate number of our culture’s power elite — lending to all manner of conspiracy theories and an apparently interminable film franchise.

This time "Buffy" babe Clare Kramer tests the limits of pretzel’d plots and the frat’s stand on gender equality by demanding to endure their dark initiation rites. And, ew, they’re like, HARD!

First-time director J. Miles Dale bleeds nearly TWO HOURS out of this tepid turnip with no less than THREE music-video montages.
