Horror fans are idiots.

Or at least I think that is what the makers of Skinwalkers must
believe. A werewolf movie which makes up its own rules and mythology in
order to suit its weak story, and tries to detract from its sheer
awfulness with some shoot-outs and a couple of babes, this absolute
mess shows complete contempt for fans of the genre.

Throwing the audience straight into the middle of a storyline from the
outset, director James Isaac confuses viewers for the first 20 minutes,
and then spends the rest of the movie's running time dishing up
sub-standard lycanthropic hogwash.

In Skinwalkers, according to an ancient prophecy (that old chestnut), a
half-breed boy will have the power to end the werewolf curse once he
reaches the age of thirteen (at the stroke of midnight, of course!).
With only days to go before his all important thirteenth birthday, a
gang of nasty lycanthropes, who wish to remain as they are, set out to
kill the boy. Fortunately for the lad, a small group of good
werewolves, who wish to become human again, risk their lives to protect
him.

Had the makers of this wolfish cack bothered to dish up some decent
looking beasts, or perhaps some effective gore, then maybe I would be a
little more forgiving. But since we are treated to some risible
make-up, very little in the way of splatter, and absolutely no
transformation effects, Skinwalkers genuinely deserves the lowest
rating possible.
