What a waste of my time!!!

... View MoreIt's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
... View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
... View MoreAs an apocalypse draws near, a race of peaceful werewolves try to protect a young boy from a more vicious clan trying to use him in a scheme to unleash more of their denizens upon the world.There's quite a lot to like in this one. Among the better features here is the rather impressive and detailed folklore featured within, establishing some pretty enjoyable elements into the werewolf genre. By introducing the concept of those who feel the need to avoid the curse and those that have given in and become the vicious killers they're supposed to be is all quite new to the genre, despite it being a concept borrowed from other genres for a ravenous war between two forces with a clueless-yet-impactful third party caught in the middle. This might be enough to cause this one to feel a little cliché but in this particular genre it's quite original as its spiced in with touches of Native American mythology for a rather enjoyable addition to the whole affair. This also introduces several other fun factors as allowing the chance to utilize both styles of common werewolf behavior here with the use of the reluctant werewolves who feel remorse about being one as well as those who enjoy killing and don't mind the situation so fans of either style can follow along with one of the sides. Likewise, that factor also shows off another impressive element in the film which is the fun action cation scenes. Relying more on shootouts and gun-play than it really should, the action here sets this up quite well as a chase movie forcing it on the run with the shootouts in the small-town street, the hospital battle and the big shootout in their hideout which leaves this with some rather exciting scenes along the way. The more realistic brawling and fighting found in the factory at the end is quite fun with the more prominent biting and clawing and flying around that highlights some incredible spectacle yet also highlights one of the few flaws in the atrocious CGI used here, not just for the werewolves and their transformations but also for the hallucinations of their future. Otherwise, the only flaw here is the rather convoluted reasoning given as for why he is needed for the two sides as there's not a lot given as to why this is. These are the only real flaws here.Rated PG-13: Violence, Language and children-in-jeopardy.
... View MoreI just saw the opening sequence. It involves a shootout in a small town between two groups of werewolves. And I have to say, it was so bad, it made me laugh. It was like a town of Mr. Magoo's trying to hit the broad side of a barn. The fight begins when the bad guy and a good-guy, who also happens to be a little-old-lady, unload unnecessarily huge handguns a mere 10 feet from each other. They shoot a half dozen shots and only manage to graze each other. Then, a whole town worth of good guys pours out with handguns, high powered rifles, and machine guns. In an attempt to hit 4 bad guys who are basically standing in the middle of the street. Bullets fly, and even though the main bad guy is standing completely stationary behind a glass and wood door, a whole town can't hit him. The funniest part is when some lady in the back of a truck gets out a machine gun and empties it at the bad guys and manages to hit NOTHING! Worst shootout ever. Then I gave up on the movie.
... View MoreIncoherence and stupidity are the hallmarks of "Skinwalkers," a cheapjack horror film about two packs of werewolves (one good, the other evil) who are hiding out in Middle America and doing battle over a young messiah figure who, it is prophesied, will bring an end to the curse on his 13th birthday. The problem is that the bad werewolves want to stay just as they are and, thus, are determined to find the boy and destroy him before he can effect the change.What with its pistol-packing grandmas, its too-cool-for-school, sunglass-wearing, motorcycle-riding lycanthropes, its ludicrous gun battles, and its supremely amateurish writing and acting, "Skinwalkers" plays more like a parody of a zero-budget horror movie than the actual thing. Perhaps that explains why the movie provides far more laughs than thrills in the course of its running time.
... View MoreThis is truly a popcorn movie, it doesn't pretends to be more! Don't expect A-stars in this movie.The story is about well lycans obviously, but it begins very simple. You have a little rural American town and some bikers driver in. It isn't long before sh%t hits the fan and we meet a little boy who is "important" See it is soon enough bloodmoon and that makes every lycan go wyld! Including the good ones, the ones protecting the child and the ones that rather see the child dead for..well some kind of ancient story.So what to expect? Werewolfs riding bikes, lots howling, lots tension and the usual troubles along the way and yes a good end. Not an end you expect though. Well I leave it you to see it yourself it is definitely a straight to video enjoyable popcorn movie. Salted or Unsalted, with or without butter, get it and watch this movie.
