Jay A Skillhouse is, without exaggeration, one of the worst films I’ve ever watched. It starts with a halfway-decent premise: two sibling content creators are kidnapped, and the horrific ordeal — ending in the death of one — is live-streamed on a social media platform. That could have set the stage for a gritty, psychological thriller. Unfortunately, the film takes that premise and drives it straight off a cliff. Instead of building on the initial shock, it becomes increasingly ridiculous. Ten more people are kidnapped — including the surviving sibling — and subjected to live-streamed death games that stretch over several hours or days. The movie’s timeline is unclear, but what’s truly baffling is the idea that this could all happen without the social media site shutting it down. Viewers are somehow allowed to vote on who lives and dies, all while the platform continues to operate as if broadcasting real-time executions is just another Tuesday. To make things worse, the entire operation takes place in a mansion in the middle of Los Angeles — one that, in the film, is owned by none other than celebrity 50 Cent. Despite the livestream gaining over 100 million views, the police remain completely uninterested. No one tracks the location, no authorities intervene, and apparently, the platform is fine with being hacked as long as they can keep streaming the chaos. One viewer even Googles the house’s location and ownership in minutes, yet somehow, law enforcement can’t manage the same. And if the plot wasn’t already a disaster, the film spends nearly an hour showing stock footage of people staring at their phones, watching the livestream — and not even unique clips, but the same reaction shots reused in different scenes. It’s lazy and painfully obvious. The only remotely redeeming aspect is the brutality of the kills, which are at least creatively executed. But that’s nowhere near enough to save this mess. There are movies that are “so bad, they’re good” — Skillhouse isn’t one of them. It’s just bad. Avoid at all costs.

It borrows heavily from better films without adding anything new, making it a tough watch for anyone looking for real scares or clever commentary.
