Skinwalkers Movie
Watched Skinwalkers last night. Now as far as werewolf movies go, it wasn't as bad as I expected. It wasn't good, mind you but well, it always could have been worse...er, but not by much. The script (I think there were about fifty lines in the entire movie, period. If even.) was really cliched and bad. Some of the acting made me laugh in that way where you sorta groan at the same time and the directing was the worst part of it all. Sometimes I felt that the movie would have been better just with some major editing revisions. However, the movie did have that sort of 80's horror movie feel to it in the style of After Dark. Having based my original character on Caleb/Varek, I must say that I was spot on without having seen the movie. That's how cliched it was. No really. Right down to the Native American bit. Actually, I much prefer my cross-over OC. Jason Behr, I admit, is fun to watch in this incarnation for us who remember him as Max Evans in Roswell. My, my, the boy has grown up and if given half a decent role would prove that he could be a formidable actor (much better than his blond counterpart on Roswell 'Isabel Evans' who in her new role on GA can't act passed Emo). Rhona Mitra too, I feel, is not given her credit as an actress. She had her flaws here but all in all she probably plays the most convincingly in this movie.
I suppose Skinwalkers feels as if you are watching a movie that has been shot by a group of high school media studies students. It was a good idea (cause the Skinwalkers legend is an interesting one though misrepresented in this particular film) but poorly executed, written and by some, poorly acted. Wish I saw the European version. Apparently the gratuitous sex scene there was not edited to all hell. Still, there was something comically addictive to the movie and I enjoyed it if only because it reminded me of all the other bad but easy to watch brain cell killing monster movies that I enjoyed back in the day.
