Synopsis
Creatures, bound by the blood of the wolf, that can kill with curses and move at lightening speed, watching the night sky for the rise of the blood-red crescent moon. They are SKINWALKERS. They feed on our flesh and thirst for the taste of human blood. The red moon signals each pack, divided by principles, hell bent to survive an ancient prophecy.

The A.V. Club
While it isn't particularly scary or suspenseful, it's fun and surprisingly breezy compared with its big-budget brethren. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
Adds little to the annals of werewolf lore. But it's briskly paced and features a couple of clever twists on genre conventions. - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
A Canadian-made werewolf thriller, Skinwalkers occasionally rises above its station as a standard-issue horror flick to deliver some enjoyably cheeseball thrills. - 40
L.A. Weekly
The only thing more boring than a vampire with moral issues about biting people in the neck is a werewolf who’d rather become fully human than howl at the moon once a month. - 40
Variety
Plays more like '70s drive-in fare than a monster mash of recent vintage. - 40
Los Angeles Times
There's a lot that remains unclear about the powers and abilities of the creatures in Skinwalkers, largely robbing the film of tension as events transpire in a slapdash, haphazard manner. - 38
ReelViews
It stands alongside this year's other werewolf disaster, "Blood and Chocolate," in illustrating why the moon should set on the werewolf movie. - 38
Boston Globe
Watching the movie is a little like picking up issue #42 of a comic book after you've skipped the first 41: There's an entire back story mythos hovering in the background like a phantom limb.
