SKINWALKERS
The fate of one race lies in the hands of one little boy.
THE PLOT
Skinwalkers are a group of werewolves as per Native American legend. A woman by the name of Rachel lives in a small town with her husband’s family following his death. Their son Timothy is about to turn 13, but Rachel has no idea that he’s half werewolf and half human or that on his thirteenth birthday he’ll become the leader of the Skinwalkers. Varek is the leader of a group of werewolves out to find the boy and kill him before he takes over control.
FUN TRIVIA
Jason Behr also starred in the horror movies The Grudge and The Tattooist.
THOUGHTS/OPINIONS
I didn’t like this movie. Ok, well to be fair I liked this movie up until about the halfway mark when things started getting confusing. One of the characters isn’t who you think he is and you start to figure that out, but then you realize that it doesn’t make sense. Of course that’s exactly where they’re going, no matter how improbable it is, they’re going to shove it down your throat.
There is a great sequence when the werewolves hit town and there’s a large action, gunfight in the middle of the small downtown area. Then things get boring for a little while. That seems to be the theme of the movie, you get one good part and then 15-20 minutes of slow things. I wanted to like Skinwalkers, but I just didn’t think it was a very good movie.
