Skinwalker

It has good potential but with their poor acting have spoilt the movie. Almost like the actors were making a home video.

Really interesting look at Skinwalker Ranch before it existed.

I sat down to watch the 2021 movie "Skinwalker" from writer and director Robert Conway with only a vague idea of what the movie was about. I must admit that the concept of this Indian myth does have some appeal to it, so of course I sat down to watch "Skinwalker".

And while "Skinwalker" certainly was a semi-watchable movie, it just wasn't a particularly entertaining or enjoyable movie. Why? Well, because the storyline was just too simplistic and not enough happened throughout the course of the one and a half hour - give or take - that the movie ran for. Which made for a rather bland viewing experience.

I had hoped for a bit more from "Skinwalker" than what writer and director Robert Conway managed to deliver here.

The acting in the movie was adequate for the most parts, though the actors and actresses weren't exactly given a great script to work with. Nor where the characters in the storyline particularly fleshed out - pardon the pun here.

Ultimately then "Skinwalker" was a movie that came without a ruckus, and it will leave without a ruckus and fade into oblivion without having imprinted a lasting impression on me.

I am rating "Skinwalker" a mere and less than mediocre four out of ten stars.

Most of this movie is filmed likely in the same clump of trees and brush from different angles. We have the usual suspects of Outlaws, and Sheriffs, and Deputies, and of course... Skinwalkers. Plot / Story not very complex. People meet up and one gets 'turned' and then we go from there, but not very far.

I did like the end of the movie tho for what reason I'm still trying to figure out. 4/10.

I enjoyed this movie. Interesting concept, carried out admirably on a small budget. The "stars" are very briefly in the movie. The first is there for about the first 10 minutes (of which he is in and out, and then disappears without explanation) at most, and the second "star" (also the director and writer) is there for about 3.

The real starts are Dalton Jackson, charming rogue, and his beautiful wife, Maisie. Both are wanted by the law, along with their henchmen, including the excellent friend, Vern. Mr. Jackson loves his wife, and it shows in his portrayal.

The law is a dirt-bag marshal, and his green deputy, and they are played pretty well. Then there is the farmer with the 3 wives, and what a stud he must be, though we never get to see that aspect. This movie is free of nudity and/or sex, unlike Hell Hounds, the first of this team's movies I watched. The Indians are ably played by Mexicans, and the action is pretty good, as is the make-up. It's hardly Rick Baker, but it gets the point across. If i could have rated it 4.5, i would, but not a full 5, so watch for yourself and see what you think.
