Skinwalkers (2006)
4/10
Disappointing Film
3 August 2007
Here is an example of a film trying to be more than what it is. If only it stuck to all action and special effects instead of trying to develop characters and drama. Because of the introduction of a plot and the constant in your face force feeding of hollow characters, I must take the review to go beyond what I wanted it to be.

The special effects were really cheesy and made the film seem like a very low budget movie. There are a lot of plot holes. The acting was bad to mediocre. It is very hard to try to feel a bond or sympathy with the characters.

Summary: Those who watch for torture and gore will hate the film. Those who watch for drama and complex characters will hate the film. Those who watch for special effects will hate the film. Those who watch for pure action might enjoy half of the film. Those who watch for groundbreaking unique horror movies will hate the film.

LOGIC? what logic?, Mediocre Movie
5 February 2002
Warning: Spoilers
I think this movie is a good pass-time movie but not something that I would pay 8 bucks to watch in a theater.

The cast give normal performances, and the characters are not involving. One feels no sympathy for the characters at any moment in the movie, because the characters are not developed to their fullest!

The movie is very predictable, and the scary aspect of the movie does not make you jump so you may as well consider this movie a thriller and not a true horror/gore/hack and slash type movie.

READ NO FURTHER - SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!

Do not read further as there are spoilers ahead. Now what I dont get about this movie is why the most obvious is ignored.. A sort of solar eclipse thing happens, and boom, all darkness, no sun whatsoever... everyone is wearing tank tops, but NO ONE IS FREEZING. The movie gives absolutely NO explanation as to why this is so. In the normal desert of Earth, when the sun sets the temperatures can drop to sub zero, yet there it seems to remain all the same. I can understand that they were excited so sweaty, generating a lot of heat etc but it makes NO sense why they felt no cold whatsoever. That was the major drawback for me and why I did not feel the movie was up to par compared to other more logical and believable movies of this genre, however far fetched.
