"Fans of experimental cinema will squirt themselves as POP SKULL is a slice of heavenly arthouse goodness... it's kinda like GUMMO but without the gay midgets and dead cats. 4 stars" -Eric Campos, FILM THREAT
"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.
"Unlike any horror film you've ever seen -- and ever WILL see -- POP SKULL is a must-see." - Stephen Susco, writer of "THE GRUDGE"
"Distinctive, visually powerful and uncompromising." -Robert Koehler, Variety
"The film is well paced, leaving us on the edge of our seat until the climactic end." -Mr. Disgusting, Bloody-Disgusting.com
"Equal parts Aronofsky and Tsukamoto, Wingard straddles the line between experimentation and linear narrative." -Todd Brown, Twitchfilms.net
"Impressive." -LAsplash.com
