Hunt for the Skinwalker

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.

I was so looking forward to this. There has been so much hype around this ranch and a sort of mystical secrecy. The movie was 75% too long, presented in an unscientific way and lacked any real information. It was all third hand information and hearsay. Considering that top scientists (PhD level), spent 10 years studying things, there was a distinct lack of data of any kind. The production was so slow and boring, I was waiting for it to finish.

I've been folliwing Coast to coast am, the Bob Lazar story, George Knapp for 30 years.. And nows the chance for actual footage.. so where is it ? Just stories..

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.

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.
