This was a pretty good film. I really liked the story to it. But the acting was a little bad, and there were some very unrealstic parts-like when a girl shot a man in the chest and he flew 20 feet in the air straight into a cabinet. But he got back up and shot the girl in the head...who was alive afterwards. There are a lot of things wrong with that scene, but overall it was a pretty good horror flick and I suggest you watching it.

Some of the worst acting in recent horror, which is already a bar set so low that only champion limbo dancers can fit underneath. No scares, no brains, no good at all.

While the plot was decent--has the potential to be a successful horror film if picked up by a major film studio--the amateur acting ruined it. The sets were very good, however--convincing sets, colors/atmosphere captured well on film.
I've never seen such horrible acting!!! It made this horror film as laughable as a comedy. The cast delivered their lines like a Down's patient delivers a pizza to someone on the other side of a greased-up balance beam. Everyone overacted, making unnatural gestures, enunciating words unnaturally, and staring right into the camera.

I liked the movie towards the end, but the beginning was a bit slow and weird. Just wait it out it does get better.

Unimpressive low budget Finnish horror film. It doesn't make the most of an interesting plot idea and I lost interest early on. Muddled and too confusing to bother with.

I don't know whether it was an illusion or not - but the opening sequence when they were acting 'acting' seemed to manifest far better acting than at any other time in the film. As soon as they were acting 'real', the acting went from bad to worse... in fact some of the most appalling movie acting I've ever seen. Maybe they were 'acting' bad " 'acting' ". The possibilities with a potentially intriguing plot were squandered, trivialised and ultimately lost completely. On the plus side - the creepy hospital setting was amazing and some of the photography was compelling.

Simply terrible no redeeming parts.The acting could be the worst thing I have ever seen. I wish that I could meet the director to smack him for making such a bad film. This could be the worst film I have ever seen!

If I could give this movie negative stars I would... I had more fun watching santa claus conquers the martians than this abortion of a film. If you ever wondered what pinocchio would look like acting, wooden and no emotion, than this is the film for you... An hour and a half of my life I'll never get back...

Skeleton Crew was "eh." Only thing that I thought was good was the torture scenes. Personally, I got confused towards the end of the movie. Especially when "the skeleton crew" finds the footage in the attic. Who's filming? Who knows, seems as if the film was missing a few details.

Can you rate something -5 stars? The movie is pathetic. Nothing is explained, nothing makes sense, and not in a suspenseful I really can't wait to find out whats going on kind of way. Basically a movie crew is filming a movie basically re-enacting snuff films made by a doctor in the 1970's then all of a sudden they are inside of a horror movie themselves instead of just filming one, which isn't explained at all. No saving grace here, not even one decent actor/actress in the whole damn thing. AVOID THIS MOVIE! I'd rather roll around in regurgitated monkey poo then light myself on fire and jump into a swimming pool full of gasoline than watch this movie again.

I truly can say that I've seen the worst acting ever. I mean worse than Keanu Reeves (Woooh!) I enjoy a young girl running around a mental institute in only her panties and shirt, just like the next man. But, I do need a little and I mean just a little more.
This movie is so bad.... well, you get the point. I know it says I voted 10% but that's the minimum they let you. Truth be told, it owes me change!
Remember way back when video renting first began? You'd go into your local video store and just picked up a horror film, and it turned out to suck donkey balls? Well, relive those moments with this piece of s@it movie.
