Skinwalkers

Skinwalkers is a horror/thriller movie about two warring factions of werewolves. One faction aims to kill a young werewolf who holds the key to fate of the whole race, while the other faction wants to protect him. Released on August 10, 2007, Skinwalkers grossed $553,520 opening weekend at the box office and received low reviews from the critics.

A surprisingly tepid thriller about internecine clashes between lycanthrope clans, "Skinwalkers" plays more like '70s drive-in fare than a monster mash of recent vintage. Reportedly stripped of grisly excess to have its original R rating reduced to a less restrictive PG-13, pic likely will disappoint genre fans accustomed to more explicit scary stuff. But even fleeting theatrical exposure could whet the target audience's appetite for eventual release of an unrated version on DVD. — Variety

After viewing, I’ve come to the conclusion that werewolves is all Skinwalkers has going for it. The concept of warring werewolf clans is the only good aspect of this movie. It should have opened up a world of great possibilities – extreme violence and bloodshed, and phenomenal effects come to mind. Sadly, no one told that to the writers (James DeMonaco, Todd Harthan and James Roday) or the producers (Dennis Berardi, Don Carmody) because there isn’t a single drop of excitement in this product. — The Critical Critics
