Skin Walkers

Skinwalkers are actually from Navajo mythology. They are supposed to be people who put on the skin of animals and take on the attributes of said animal. Well, that's not really what "Skinwalkers" the movie is about. It's about werewolves who are in an argument that's been raging for centuries. What if some werewolves didn't want to be werewolves and other werewolves loved being werewolves? That's the basic premise for this B-movie avalanche of gun fights and claws called "Skinwalkers." It starts off quickly and never stops moving. There's plenty of action and hot bodies and the occasional Werewolf wearing Levis. The cinematography is good and gives the movie nice a look especially in the night scenes. There's a huge battle at the end that is very fun. Overall, I'd say this is not a great movie but fun enough to see it on the big screen. Also, they are giving away one of the Skinwalkers from the movie or something. That's cool.

Okay, I saw this movie at the matinée show and no coke didn't shoot out of my nose but it would have had I been drinking coke. I've been waiting for nearly two years to see this thing and let's just say I was a little disappointed. No, it's not that bad but I was expecting there to be a lot more violence. I still really liked it for the most part but I guess the R to PG-13 re-cut affected that? I liked the Werewolves and wouldn't mind owning the Stan Winston made one. Though I have no idea where I'd put it? Garage? There are plenty of fight scenes to whet the appetite, though, like I said they aren't that graphic. The hot girls in this are definitely very hot. I have this weird thing for Rhona Mitra, perhaps a tad unhealthy. The look of the movie is very good. There's some very cool shots at night and the final scene is pretty damn sweet. The plot is fairly straight forward but adequate for a movie of this type. No big surprises, nothing that will change your life, or change the way you look at Werewolves. The acting is okay, not great but okay. Believable enough. I'd say this movie is worth seeing and you could bring you kids if they are like, ten or above. It's not too scary for them I think. Overall, it's like a B-. If you love the monster movie genre this should fill you up for little while.

Horror fans are idiots. Or at least I think that is what the makers of Skinwalkers must believe. A werewolf movie which makes up its own rules and mythology in order to suit its weak story, and tries to detract from its sheer awfulness with some shoot-outs and a couple of babes, this absolute mess shows complete contempt for fans of the genre. Throwing the audience straight into the middle of a storyline from the outset, director James Isaac confuses viewers for the first 20 minutes, and then spends the rest of the movie's running time dishing up sub-standard lycanthropic hogwash. In Skinwalkers, according to an ancient prophecy (that old chestnut), a half-breed boy will have the power to end the werewolf curse once he reaches the age of thirteen (at the stroke of midnight, of course!). With only days to go before his all important thirteenth birthday, a gang of nasty lycanthropes, who wish to remain as they are, set out to kill the boy. Fortunately for the lad, a small group of good werewolves, who wish to become human again, risk their lives to protect him. Had the makers of this wolfish cack bothered to dish up some decent looking beasts, or perhaps some effective gore, then maybe I would be a little more forgiving. But since we are treated to some risible make-up, very little in the way of splatter, and absolutely no transformation effects, Skinwalkers genuinely deserves the lowest rating possible.

All these people are seriously hating on this movie. Either they haven't seen it, or they're just hating to hate. It's seriously not that bad. It's entertaining. I've been saying this all day; as soon as someone asks what I thought, I say, "Take it for what it's worth." Can anyone say the last perfect horror/scifi movie that they saw? Nope. It's fun. It's got pretty people in it. And the effects are pretty damn good too. It's good. The premise is about the native American idea of skinwalkers. The idea differs a bit in the movie, but you get the jist of it. There are a few funny parts, that aren't meant to be funny, but it's ENTERTAINMENT. When you take a few mediocre actors, and put them in a movie like this, I don't know what you're expecting. It's done well. If there was another movie to compare it to, it would probably be something like 'An American Werewolf in London,' or 'Interview With a Vampire.' All that I kept thinking while I was watching the movie, is how cool it actually would be, to be able to live forever. Or, more so, how it would be to have INCREDIBLE strength like this. People take this way too seriously. You watch a movie to escape from reality, right? Otherwise you'd be watching documentaries all the time. And honestly, that would just be a bummer. Don't hate y'all. It's bad for your complexion.

Skinwalkers will smooth the itch of werewolf fans. Despite having some flaws in the story, like empty towns full of werewolfs, the action will make up for it. Directed by James Isaac, The story is about a 12 year old boy caught in the crossfire between two warring werewolf clans. One consists of werewolves happy to feed on humans, while the other camp believes they're cursed and are trying to find a way to become fully human again. The chase scenes and guns are superb. The movie is a lot of special effects but otherwise a good one to go and watch with a friend or a girlfriend. This movie does not compare to the werewolf classics in the past as far as story line, but it does a good job showing that not all werewolf's believe in the werewolf philosophy of biting people and taking names.

This film sucked, this is the first time I've written a review in many years but felt i had to with this one. I had been looking forward to this movie as i had read good things about it. But i have to say i was amazed at how bad this was. Bad acting bad story bad special effects and bad character development. I left this movie feeling robbed of an 1hour and a half of my life. If you want werewolf action stick with American werewolf in Paris or even the gory comic Dog Soldiers was better than this rubbish.Movies like this always frustrate me they could have been so much better with just that little bit of genius that a good director and story can bring to a movie, Off course good actors would be an advantage as well. And i have to mention as well that the kid in the movie really irritated me something terrible. He was so annoying. i was wishing the buckles loose in the van, just to shut his sniffling up, boring. avoid avoid avoid. 2/10 is the best score i can muster for this.

There's no need to summarise this waste of your money and time, but here's the worst of it... Terrible Story, dad Acting, bad Direction, bad special effects, bad make-up bad camera work, rail-road music and shoddy editing. In this age we live in - where it costs but a 20th of the price it took to make this film, to make something truly brilliant - it's really disappointing to see that there are Studios out there who turn their back on quality, and produce such 2 dimensional flawed "films" like this. That's about it.

This movie is out to entertain people and I thought Underworld is better than this. This features werewolves, and they are seriously hairy and ugly. To think about it, Underworld did a better job in creating the werewolves. To you, this seems like a small budget movie and it seems to be. I can't believe I am seeing some crap hairy bunch of werewolves who almost never appear in the movie, only in the middle and the whole of the last part. Other than transforming into werewolves, they have weapons and that is gun. I was expecting some werewolves fights like in Underworld but I saw them using guns and banging away people. The gun fights last long enough. That are probably the most interesting parts. Grandma shooting with guns, how insane can it be. If you watch the trailer and thought that it would be a intense movie, you would probably yawn at this movie, I thought this will pack some action. Overall, you want to watch cheesy werewolves movies, here is one. You like werewolves movies, here is one too. I am not really into werewolves movies but I thought it was pretty interesting, and the answer is no. It does have the gun fights to keep your eyes glued but it only features around two gun fights an some action. But it still can be good in some ways. The cast is hot. If you want some werewolves action, I recommend you the two Underworld movies. Underworld is better than this!
