Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
isaged I'm a fan of what might be called lesser horror movies. Generally I review them when I believe that other reviewers have been unjust to them. However, although I enjoyed Skeleton Man, it has some problems. The biggest one is that its main episode, involving the skeleton man's inconsiderate treatment of the eight special forces members, is accompanied by briefer "supporting" episodes that just don't support what's going on in the main one. For instance, how does a rather nasty Native American find black garbage bags to wear, and also find an invulnerable horse? Another is that these experienced military people discover fairly soon that the skeleton man is invulnerable to bullets, yet keep firing at him/it. Firing so much and so often that I'm surprised that they could possibly have packed in all that ammo. Finally, what possible successful effect could the fiery conclusion have had?That said, some of the we-have-been-warned Violence scenes are excellent, the mountain scenery is lovely, and enough gore is spilled to fertilize these woods for some time to come. The explosions are generally fine, and … despite what some reviews have written … the acting was acceptable
haroen-23-667564 The plot of this movie is so thin it's easily summarized as follows: "I'm on a horse in the jungle, taking your scalps." And why is he wearing a binbag as cape?The lack of dialogue is complimented quite finely by the usage of stock footage of eagles, and stock footage of some trees in general. The depth of the characters of the elite team sent out to rescue and salvage - salvage what? some dead archeologists? - is beautifully illustrated in the 53rd minute of the movie. The filmwork isn't that bad though. In general: Awful. For the love of normal use of your eyes, do not watch this movie.Also: we we're waiting for some-one to go: "boo".
TdSmth5 Movies can be bad in many ways- bad acting, bad direction, bad or no story, bad music. But this movie is bad in an uncommon way. It looks as if they ran out of money and had nothing left for post-production. The music but particularly the editing are a disaster, rendering this movie not fit for release.Some military guys are killed bloodily by some creature dressed up as the grim reaper with a very oversize gown and hood. This creature on a horse can further travel through wormholes in space to end up somewhere else, usually, 5 feet further.A team of special forces is sent to deal with the situation. This team of experts include a bunch of skinny girls who look like 3rd rate catalog models- they include sniper experts and so on.One by one the creature, will dispatch them in gory ways. There's plenty of gore and violence, there are a lot of pyro effects. That's pretty much it for the good aspects of this movie. This creature we learn is some type of native American who went crazy and gained superpowers somehow. The crew seemed to have money, there are helicopters and aerial shot in this movie. The villain is pretty ridiculous. And the way the story is told it just makes no sense. It would be interesting to see a report on what happened to this movie. Like I said, the resources, the casting is there but somehow it just didn't work.
bluebullet Ill be honest. I bought this movie because it was part of a 4 Films Horror Collector's Set for $5 at Walmart. I got past the intro to the movie and realized why I only paid $1.25 for it. This movie is so bad its hilarious! I mean really, what is not to love about a poorly dressed skeleton man running along, shooting his bow and arrows at Helicopters and causing them to crash and explode. This movie has a horrible plot. I fast forwarded past all the boring parts and got to the killings.Reasons the movie is great: 1. Skeleton Man has an arsenal of weapons at his disposal to include: Throwing knives, axes, a long sword, bow and arrow and a spear. Skeleton Man is so great that he can conjure these weapons magically. Imagine him walking towards with nothing in his hands and then BOOM an axe.2. Skeleton Man can divert all bullets by getting on his horse and doing circles. In the movie the special forces team have their guns with unlimited ammo and try to shoot him, but in the end the all miss because Skeleton Man deflected all of them.3. He rides a horse. Not just ANY horse. A brown majestic horse that looked like it was stolen from a farm. Its awesome because he is trying to give demons and their kind a better reputation. Black horses show that they have no taste but a brown horse really says something about that demon's character.4. If Skeleton Man wants something that your standing in front of, he will punch a hole in your stomach, grab the object in question, and pull it through you. Sheer awesomeness.5. Skeleton Man can bring a helicopter down to its knees just by shooting a piece of wood at it. Professional! What other demon do you know of that can take down a copter with a twig? NONE I SAY! This is a movie is perfect for stoners and people who like to laugh at retarded movies.6/10 Because its just so damn funny.
