The Skulls
Getting in is easy. Getting out is a killer.
Directed by Rob Cohen
Produced by Original Film, Newmarket Capital Group
A paranoid thriller about institutional corruption and the moral cost of ambition, where a young man discovers his elite secret society is far more sinister than promised.
A senior at an Ivy League college, who depends on scholarships and working on the side, gets accepted into the secret society The Skulls. He hopes it betters chances at Harvard but The Skulls is not what he thought and comes at a price.
