Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes

Steven Hyden, AV Club: A throwback to workmanlike '70s and '80s-era low-budget action thrillers. Read more

Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Skinwalkers is never able to escape its fundamental preposterousness. You've seen worse, but, trust me, you've seen better. Read more

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Werewolves ride into town on motorcycles, sporting dark sunglasses, shaggy but mostly human except for pearly white canine teeth. Sorry, dudes, but no amount of jump cutting, death metal or slow motion is going to make you look anything but ridiculous. Read more

Chuck Wilson, 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. Read more

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: On the fright scale, this pack of werewolves ranks below a basket of puppies. Read more

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Skinwalkers may be an attempt to reinvent a myth. But this bloodless dog isn't exactly a life-saving transfusion for a genre that hasn't shown signs of life in years. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: The problem with most werewolf movies isn't that they're derivative, but that they're badly written, badly acted, or just plain silly. Skinwalkers hits the trifecta: all three apply. Read more

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: A werewolf movie without much bite. Read more

Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail: Viewers who make it through the dire early scenes may be surprised by the quality of the later ones. Read more

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Skinwalkers announces its irony-impaired comic-shop geek credentials from the beginning. Read more

Joe Leydon, Variety: Skinwalkers plays more like '70s drive-in fare than a monster mash of recent vintage. Read more
