Skew Movie Review 254

Skew is a 2011 horror movie directed by Seve Schelenz and starring Rob Scattergood, Amber Lewis and Richard Olak.

The premise is pretty simple. Three friends go on a road trip to a wedding and they have a camera with them. Simon(Scattergood) is behind the camera and he films the other two as well as everything on their way. At first, they don't mind, but after a while, it starts to get to them. Simon begins to see strange things through his lens. They knock down a coyote first and they are a bit freaked out by it. Then, they witness other accidents which really scares them. They think that it must be coincidence at first because the accidents are so random. Simon finds that when he turns the camera on some people, their faces are distorted and then they die. He tries to tell the others about it, but they don't believe him. Rich(Olak) is getting very agitated about Simon and his stories and he tells him to shut the camera off. Eva(Lewis) wants him to throw it away and stop filming.

Simon becomes convinced that anybody he films with the camera is going to die. Eva talks to him about it and tells him to get rid of it. Simon won't. Eva's face is distorted on the camera and she disappears. Rich fights with Simon over Eva as he knows that Simon loves her and she is Rich's girlfriend. The two argue, but Simon kills him with the camera. Simon is alone in a motel and he is scared. He tries to call his girlfriend, but there is no answer. He plays back the tape and he realises that he filmed himself in a mirror by mistake and his face is distorted.....

This wasn't too bad. I liked the idea of the killer camera and it was entertaining enough to keep me watching. Some of the scenes were unnecessary and it could drag a bit but I thought that it was decent for a low budget movie. I am giving it a 4/10.
