Hodgson (UK) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful Finally we get to see a werewolf film that isnt composed mainly of stupid victims and cruddy CGI. A biker gang of werewolves are tracking down a 12 year old boy kept by non-bloodthirsty werewolves in a small town. If the boy reaches his 13th birthday a prophecy will be fulfilled. As well as being an awesome looking film with some frightfully new werewolf designs and action scenes the underline plot is actually what gives this story more heart. My only issue with this film is that the marketing and promotion of Skinwalkers was very poor. This film now sits on the shelf with a few other gems that should have gotten top billing, like Ginger Snaps and The Forsaken. The werewolves are back! January 9, 2009 Lesley-anne Murray (Scotland) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I would have to agree with most of the other reviewers on this movie. It was good but, not great. I enjoyed the storyline and the cover art looks great. It follows a 13 year old who is unaware he is the key to breaking the 'curse' of the skinwalkers. Only, if he survives. A group of skinwalkers who do not want rid of the curse go on a hunting spree to find him. br / br /The storyline was good but the special effects were not that great. The werewolves were unfortunately a bit...rubbish. Although, the effects pre-werewolf were pritty good! br / br /Its a hard one to review, because there were so many bad and good points to the film. If you've been missing the werewolves on screen you'll probably love this movie, but if you are more of a critic you will concentrate on the flaws. Good fun !! April 7, 2009 Trond Jansson This is creepy, full of action, and a must for all the vampire fans..Rhona Mitra is HOT !! Doesn't quite live up to the cover art October 14, 2008 D. Jackson (UK) 15 out of 16 found this review helpful Skinwalkers tells the story of a young boy who's been living his life for 13 years... with absolutely no idea that he is the one thing that determines the whole future of the werewolf species. So, when he's located by a small-but-dangerous group of 'baddies', he and his mum have no choice but to go on-the-run and figure out a way to fight back. br / br /Sounds fun, doesn't it? br / br / br /It's not just the corny script and the cheesy acting; unfortunately, Skinwalkers' lack of budget is pain-stakingly obvious. This isn't normally a bad thing, (i.e. The Blair Witch Project, Saw etc) but it's like director James Isaac is trying to make some kind of werewolf epic with a budget of about 50p. br / br /Don't get me wrong- this isn't a particularly 'bad' film on the whole, but sadly, it fails to bring anything remotely new or different to the werewolf genre. Therefore, whilst watching Skinwalkers, be sure to prepare yourself for a really bad case of Déjà Vu. br / br /The more subtle werewolf effects were good, but when it comes to the big fight scenes, you'll probably be thinking to yourself: 'Is that the cheap werewolf costume they were selling in Tesco's last Halloween?' br / br /I'm not going to spend ages ranting on- Skinwalkers does have its good points. It stars the brilliant Rhona Mitra of Shooter and Doomsday, and it does have a few good scenes (watch out for the granny with a shotgun!) Ultimately though, the whole thing just needs more 'umph!' br / br /It'll probably be OK for desperate werewolf fans, as there aren't that many werewolf flicks these days; but generally, there are better choices around at the moment, so if I were you, I'd give Skinwalkers a miss -or at least rent it first. br / br / br / Bargin bin fun October 20, 2008 A. Cockburn (Lost) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful I wasn't expecting a lot from this having bought it purely because of the cover and because it was cheap. br /But I liked it because it wasn't a run of the mill werewolf move. br /I liked the design of the harness that restrained the 'good' skin walkers. br /I liked the cast and the story I even liked the ending. br /No it's not the greatest werewolf film ever made but it made a satisfactory evenings entertainment. br /Plus this was made by Stan Winston studios, Stan Winston you know the designer of the terminator and the Preditor Showing reviews 1-5 of 10 1 2 Next »
