Skinwalkers is simply superb. The late Stan Winston (creature-makeup wizard) was acquired for this film. That's right folks, these aren't CGI werewolves, they're the real thing. Well, you know what I mean.

Elias Koteas (you might remember him from The Prophecy) stars as Jonas Talbot, uncle of the prophesized 12-year-old who's destiny is to become a werewolf-cure on the eve of his 13th birthday. There are many shoot-outs for a werewolf film, to the point where the director said that it was "shot as a western". In the shooting at Huguenot, the tranquility preceding the chaos is as described in The Professional (in other words, there's a "peaceful little moment before the storm").

There are many unique elements to this film, such as a falcon that seeks out the kid's presence for the villainous skinwalkers (the ones who prefer death over a cure).

Throughout the film, it's unclear how the kid is supposed to be a werewolf-fix, but imo, the twist at the end is quite clever and grounded in reality. So if you like originality, suspense, and Natassia Malthe in a biker top, you might want to check this one out, per se. 7.5/10
