    I love werewolf and vampire movies, my fav, but this is kind disappointing. The story is stretched, a boy must survive to his 12th or 13th birthday so he can 'cure' the werewolf curse, some want this some dont. But the ending makes this kinda unimportant seeing as its up to the i...( read more)ndividual werewolf wether he wants to be cured or not. The effects are Stan Winston so they're hot but nothing special, Im afraid there's just nothing new to do with vamps and werewolfs now, its all been done. This is very average really there's nothing outstanding and the cast is pretty mudane too.

    A low budget werewolf film with a good idea but poor execution. The werewolves look quite odd and the plot is far too simple and obvious. Gingersnaps or Dog Soldiers are much better!

    Skinwalkers has only two things going for it- a hot chick and a sexy guy. This film is poorly written, has horrible character creation, contains the worst B movie acting and the CGI was unforgivable. It's not scary and it doesn't thrill.

    I thought I already reviewed this?

    Only wanted to see it for Jason behr (roswellians MAX has definately grown up!)

    This movie is terrible. It's a bit like Underworld in that it's unforgivably cheesy, but Skinwalkers isn't anywhere near as stylish or fun. The story is boring and overdone, the characters are extremely tired cliches, and the special effects are extremely sub-par. Very poor, a...( read more)nd they aren't even Skinwalkers.

    If I was watching for any other reason than to see Jason Behr for a bit, I would have been really disappointed.

    Wow this is at the bottom of the list as far as sci-fi and Werewolf movies go. Acting was Horrible! I can't stress this enough. When the boy's mother pulls out a Glock 45 or Revolver I was almost done and the whole story line seemed so farfetched if you can even believe that in a...( read more) werewolf film.

    3.5 of 5 stars for the better-than-average werewolf movie. The big downfall of this movie is the story didn't hang-together-well. Good idea, potentially a good story, weak execution. They didn't do a good job of clearly indicating the two major factions fighting for the boy and i...( read more)t was never totally clear what happens on "the red moon". Yeah, its OK, but not great.

    Predictable, no plot, just plain waste of time

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Skinwalkers is never able to escape its fundamental preposterousness. You've seen worse, but, trust me, you've seen better. full review

    PG-13 Crap!!!

    A werewolf movie with no gore,suspense,good action sequences & scary moments.This film didn't deserve a theatrical release.Few CGI effects that wasn't all that good & not even good transformation effects.I assume by the way the film looks & the cast that the director wasn't working with a decent budget.

    Only positive thing about this film is the werewolf costumes or make-up that was looking good which i think it was done by Stan Winston.

    I found it sorta cool how they used an older film stock,like something from about '85 or so.To me,it was a fair "B" movie,nothing to write home about.

    I just saw the movie yes that is right and i think it could have been alot better it was a little slow and not much warewolf action til the end an alright cast and the story was a little lacking but if you love warewolf movies than you will like this although i wouldn't waste $10 on it wait til the DVD comes out!! Just not exciting enough for the movies this will be a quick to DVD movie!

    Release dates for Skinwalkers have been revised.

    As Skinwalkers would be up against big box office movies in the USA on the weekend beginning July 27th, 2007, The distributors 'AfterDark Films' have officially moved the release date for the USA from July 27th, 2007 to August 10th, 2007. Advertisements on television networks over the USA are most likely to be wrong until the distributors release a new trailer with the new release date attached.

    The official Skinwalkers website already has the new information attached. The trailer on the official website also has the new release date.

    Release dates in Russia and Singapore are on August 2nd, 2007 and Poland has a release date of August 3rd, 2007.
