What to Know

Critics Consensus

Skinwalkers is an atrociously-acted project whose unoriginal and ineptly-staged action sequences remind viewers of far better werewolf and action movies.

Kudos to the ad campaign, but nuts to everyone else involved in this snuffly, histrionic werewolves-at-war-with-one-another yawner. Go to Full Review Steven Hyden AV Club Aug 14, 2007

Skinwalkers is never able to escape its fundamental preposterousness. You've seen worse, but, trust me, you've seen better. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Jan 22, 2025

Skinwalkers doesn't have a sense of humor or an inkling as to how dreadful its Grade-F production really is. It's not even enjoyable as schlock, as it’s rated PG-13 and doesn’t have enough blood and guts to take our minds off the poor writing.

It's obvious at times that Skinwalkers tries to emulate Kathryn Bigelow's awesome vampire western Near Dark, but without kickass character actors like Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen onboard, it ain't the same. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robert P @Superbad Oct 5, 2026 Skinwalkers is a terrible film... See more MM B @RT93920229 May 9, 2025 I was disappointed with the film overall, and the strong cast was the only thing I found redeeming. The writing was weak, and I’m surprised such talented actors were drawn to the project. See more Steve D @RT35616104 Oct 6, 2023 A mix of a million better stories. See more Apr 18, 2016 Holy cow. We're three episodes in, and it is sooooo SLOW. You finish people's sentences for them, because they are predictable and melodramatically delayed in delivery. Most of the actors are just reading a script. Adam Beach? Wow. You can give him crap and he still reads it with authenticity. But c'mon. Robert Redford co-produced this? What the hell, Bob. Geez. Well, at least I find that its slow pace leaves me with PLENTY of time to kill time criticizing the lazy videography, death-on-a-stick script, and walk-through-your-part acting. I have long yawns' worth of time to carefully write my criticisms in my head, revise them, let them sit a bit, reflect on them, and then post them on the Web. It's almost like they filmed early rehearsals and then let the actors take the rest of the week off. So far... very disappointing. And no skin walkers yet. See more May 26, 2015 The only thing that made this movie watchable was the fact that it was so bad. The acting was terrible, and the writing was probably worse. It felt almost like it was trying to be a spoof movie, but failing at even that. I just wanted to laugh at it, but you could tell they were being serious. It was impossible to believe any of it. The only redeeming feature of this movie, other than the end credits, was probably Rhona Mitra's nipples being almost on full display during the final fight sequence...I don't regret watching it though. This movie was so bad, that it went right past "It was so bad, it was good" and went all the way back to bad again. 10/10. See more Mar 27, 2015 More style than substance. Sounds good on paper, but poorly executed. See more Read all reviews
