The opening credits of Sket, which feature a thumping soundtrack and quick, almost strobed images of the ‘skets’ kicking the living shit out of an unidentified bloke, do the film a grave disservice; beneath the apparently gratuitous violence, swearing and general unpleasantness lurks a very well-constructed film. When we’re first properly introduced to Daze and her girls (who include Lily Loveless and Adelayo Adedayo), their behaviour is abhorrent and unforgivable precisely because we don’t know why it’s happening. Over the course of the film, however, each one of the gang’s many tussles is given more context than the last, and by the time of the climactic encounter with Trey (come on, you knew there’d be one) I found myself rooting for characters who I would ordinarily cross the road to avoid. This is director Nirpal Bhogal’s first feature, and it shows – there’s an abundance of clichéd shots, the dialogue frequently feels thrown together and that bit where the chap’s eye gets burst is the very height of gratuitous gore. Nevertheless, there’s a lot to enjoy about Sket; the fights are horribly well choreographed, and the relatively inexperienced cast delivers the goods with aplomb. Aimee Kelly handles Kayla’s transformation from grungy but inoffensive teen to spitting hellcat is disturbingly convincing, and Emma Hartley-Miller is genuinely frightening as the ferociously man-hating Daze. Ashley Walters’ Trey is an adequate if one-note villain, and Riann Steele does a masterful job as a gangster’s moll who craves redemption.
