Not a great plot, but the werewolf make-up and stunt-fighting are "rad". And Jason Behr as a tattooed biker/werewolf is pretty sexy. Nice autumnal scenery in rural Ontario too.
Encore un film de loup-garou bien naze à base de malediction et de prophétie aussi palpitant qu'un épisode de Buffy. Du vrai fantastique de gamines!
This is an extremely good portrayal of Skin walkers and a good 'werewolf' film. Jason Behr is perfect for the role and it's a really good storyline if not slightly predictable.
A good premise that suffers greatly from undevelopment, poor SFX and some sub-par acting. This could have been the 'Near Dark' for werewolves, with sequel or spin-off opportunities, but is poorly realised.
Horrible. And I mean HORRIBLE. I turned it off after 20 minutes. I almost never do that.
Seriously. Bad. Movie.
The director should actually just kill himself that it's so horrible.
I really enjoyed this movie...it was too bad that they never made a part 2...

Werewolves have split into two groups - those who eat flesh and those who retain their humanity. Enter a thirteen year old boy who is a hybrid of human and werewolf: supposedly he will end the curse. Of course, not everyone is on board with this idea and thus we have our plot. The one thing that I did enjoy about this was the fact that they drew inspiration from the original Wolfman movies for the look of their werewolves - that, or they were lacking in funds for huge, CGI beasts.
I do want to clarify that a 'skinwalker' is not in fact a werewolf - it is a Native American legend where a shaman could take the skin of a coyote and become that animal - also, simply a shaman that could turn into a coyote. Would've been interesting to see something in that vein, just to educate people about different cultures instead of just harping on the same old story.

Skinwalkers is never able to escape its fundamental preposterousness. You've seen worse, but, trust me, you've seen better.full review
A werewolf movie without much bite.full review
