Pop Skull Overview


"Shocking" -Dread Central
"Disturbing" -SF Bay Guardian
"Powerful... a new genre: Acid Horror!" -Variety

POP SKULL depicts the lonely and disjointed life of Daniel, a young Alabama pill addict, as his efforts to cope with the trials of his day-to-day life collide with the increasing influence of murderous and displaced spirits that inhabit his home.

Plagued by ghosts, Daniel discovers his home holds a secret to a grisly crime... a crime he's doomed to repeat if he can't prevail against the forces that haunt him.

"Superb... smart... Pop Skull is a multimedia assault on your senses... there is a strobe warning at the top of the film that is to be taken very seriously. Sometimes shredding, sometimes simmering... get ready for the chill to run up your spine, but don't be afraid to see this film." -LA Splash

"Unlike any horror film you've ever seen -- or ever will see, POP SKULL is a must-see." -Stephen Susco, writer of THE GRUDGE

Horror Movies Customer Reviews


Horror Movies Customer ReviewsPop Skull is a small film about a small town love story that goes very, very bad. What makes this film so interesting is that the director and lead actor Adam Wingard Layne Hughes tell this story in a highly stylistic - the film is full of stuttering jump cuts, burns, photographs, audio and trippy jump in the timeline . While watching the film you really feel like you're witnessing the events through the eyes of the protagonist out junkie. Trying to figure out what is real andwhat is hallucination is part of the fun.

This is one of my favorite art-horror film of all time. Although it might not be for everyone, fans of David Lynch, Larry Clark and experimental Soderbergh can love.



Horror Movies Customer ReviewsScary as hell - P. Katz - LA, CA
This film is a total trip of mind, I could not sleep after watching it. Pop Skull is not for the faint of heart, but for fans of horror seriously.




Horror Movies Customer ReviewsAppropriately titled - Alex Faber - Northern NJ United States
Let me say that my vote below in no way reflects on the visual quality of the film. For a true indie, low-budget feature film that shined with strong, credible acting, high production value, impressive camerawork and directing, which led to being a truly shocking and disturbing film, full of strange angles, ranging from a bright and dark color palette and punches the audience with strobe flashes of images intercut. However, there is little or no story or character, andthis is the reason I watch the entire film: to see people and how they react and change when faced with situations of concern.

Lane Hughes plays the role of Daniel, a drug addict who is reeling from a recent break. That's pretty much it. For 89 minutes, it is high and hangs out with his friend Jeff and his girlfriend, Morgan. There's a little 'action towards the end, and the film thankfully does not feature the twist I thought it was coming, but the lack of story and character development leaves us witha lot of style, but very little in terms of substance. It 'an impressive piece of art, I think, and it helps that Morgan, played by Hannah Hughes, is beautiful, but this may have worked much better as a short. If you are looking for an experience, this is a pain, but I believe that films can be creative, fun. Unfortunately, this fails to achieve both.

The DVD is packaged in a standard Amaray-style DVD case without inserting the chapter, even if my copy hasinclude a card with a glossy color illustration apparently inspired by drugs. The film is presented in widescreen, and there are short films, trailers for eight other Halo movie, and a comment such as special features.
