Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

silhouettseerie Had this movie branded itself about being about werewolves it be pretty decent, calling it skinwalkers was very disappointing.. skinwalkers and werewolves are not the same at all and not a lot of people have done skinwalker movies, so instead of having a much more original idea and use some of the more unique lore of skinwalkers, they went with the boring old werewolf story thats been done a million times already. 2/10 because if it labeled itself as a werewolf movie it would be fine, but this movie annoyed me so much that for the first time in my life i feel compeled to write a review on something.

steveraw I'm not a big fan of long winded reviews as I generally want to know a movie's basic plot and if it's worth a 5h1t to watch, so here goes.I'm a big werewolf movie fan. I saw this thing advertised on line so I gave it a whirl. From the moment it kicks off it feels cheap to the eye. The dialogue is as wooden as Pinocchio's middle leg. The acting is almost a literary game of chess in which a chiefly little known cast fight to convince the viewer against a ceaseless tide of diabolical scripture and a plot that seems to have been written by a 7 year old for his 'write a scary story' homework assignment. It is typically American action in the sense that throughout the movie the are thousands of rounds of ammunition fired off left, right and center with targets only suffering hits as and when the director thought it was about time to move on to another scene and needed an excuse to do so. If you want a werewolf film that the kids can watch without wetting the bed then this is it. The action is as convincing as the Power Rangers (as is the acting), and given that there are people attacked by werekittens (because they do look like cats rather than wolves) there isn't so much as a nose-bleed in sight. I've given it three stars though... Why's that? Because the actors turned up (one star) there is a smattering of nickelodeon grade action in it (two stars) and, although paper thin, there is a trace of a discernible plot somewhere.Wrap up: Like a good scary werewolf movie? Go watch WER or Bad Moon. This is watered down junk.

quantumcat Where it all goes wrong. I watched this movie -cut for PG reasons- and it was entertaining. Butit doesn't do all that well. I can understand why people bash this movie and why people like this movie. For that I rate it average.Pros: decent action movie with a fast paced story, solid script, brawls, shoot outs and explosions. Cons: it's an action movie, with occasional -occasional- werewolf action (Except the grand finale).This is not your typical werewolf horror movie, in fact it focuses on being an action movie. The other thing is that all the werewolf's look like descendants of the wolf man. Yes, bipedal, furry, and most of all... very human-like. They could have been Bigfoots cousins. It does keep the women sexy, as far as sexy can go with furry human like-creatures... But somehow it's not scary enough. You don't even get to see one descent changing scene.Maybe we have been spoiled rotten by "an American werewolf in London"(AWIL) and by "the Howling"(TH) and even by the CG aided "Underworld" or Indies as "Ginger Snaps" and "Dog Soldiers", on both the changing scene and on werewolf design.But bipedal hairy humans that resemble as much as Quest for Fire Caveman as Bigfoot that don't even have wet noses... The upside is, the actors -even though hairy- are still recognizable, so the wolf man look could have been used on purpose.I may be nagging about this ...but c'mon: "STAN WINSTON STUDIOS PRESENT" and Creature effects by "STAN WINSTON STUDIOS"What I am trying to say is, that the werewolf theme raises the bar a bit high, since you'd expect horror and wereWOLF and in your face man-wolf changes, because what has all been done earlier in AWiL and in TH and similar movies, not even mentioning the involvement of "STAN WINSTON STUDIOS" And the movie fails to deliver all this. So ... for a werewolf movie ... very disappointing.Bottom line: For an action movie with supernatural twist, it's actually a pretty good movie! For a werewolf movie ... poo happens

rusticginger On the back of the DVD is says that this movie is gory and one to see - well don't, the make up is terrible, the plot could have been much better if they were able to work out how the Lycans die and kept it more to what we all know instead of making it up and ending up with too many inconsistencies (8 bullet gun and she runs out on 6, and it wasn't even silver!) and where was the gore we were all hoping for. The best part was the ending, considering all the CGI we have these days the movie could have been much better, the actual storyline was not a bad one (cursed side and loving it the other with the boy stuck in the middle waiting to turn 13) it was ruined with a lack of gore and anticipation, some sex scene that I have no idea why it was in there (just for the directors to see a bit of Boob action I guess) and a general lack of ability to keep the audience interested. Do not go and see this movie!
