Hunt for the Skinwalker

While the topic is certainly interesting it should have been cut to a maximum of 45mins.The stylistic choice to write out quotes in big bold letters is boring and unnecessary at best and nothing else than a time killer. The first 20minutes are well known footage with no direct relation to Skinwalker and too much information how special this documentary is. Interviews had little information but where needlessly overdramaticed. (yawn) Probably best watched in x2 speed.

A hotbed of paranormal activity? Thousands of reported experiences? Thirty hours of footage? Then where the hell is any of it? This documentary is utterly pointless - just a dry narration of past events with zero payoff. All fart, no smell.

Thank goodness I only rented it. If I'd bought this, I would've returned it immediately. I'm writing this review halfway through because, frankly, I've seen enough. The scathing reviews don't lie - this is all hype and recycled stories. A complete waste of time.

Some of the worst filmmaking I have seen recently. Endless b-roll with terrible exposure, music, bad audio and color intertwined with jarring titles and quotes. In the new interviews next to nothing interesting is said. The only redeemable parts of this documentary are the old footage that the director and writer got from someone else. Don't waste your time or money.

I can tell this project was a labour of love for the director. And for someone who hasn't read the book, this would be a good documentary to check out if you are interested in the subject. But despite the mentions early on in the film of 'how much has happened since the book was written', they barely touch on any of that. There is maybe about 10 minute of material a little past the midway point of the film that is anything new. While it's nice to actually see the property, there's plenty of ways to see it now on YouTube. Other than that, it's just endless witness stories, and really not much else. I am disappointed that I paid (and the price I paid) to see this as it doesn't remotely live up to the hype. The only reason I am giving it the rating I am is because for someone not expecting new information or wanting to read the book, it would serve as a good introduction to the topic. Though a fairly boring one.

Just watched over half of this documentary and are having to have a break from how dull it is. Really disappointed as we were looking froward to watching this since it was teased. Most of the documentary so far (just over an hour in) is basically a long trailer explaining things they are going to show you... but then never show you. The wording is long and poetic rather than factual, the testimonies are called evidence when there are no photographs or footage to back it up and while these testimonies are being monotonously read out the on screen footage is of people walking in slow motion or random shots of grass. Annoying camera work with annoying scripts. So disappointed. There's little else I can say about it. Literally nothing has happened in this documentary.
