Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Anssi Vartiainen Awful. Lazy. Incompetent. Failure. Horrendous. Insulting. Lackadaisical. Guano. Excrement. Depressing. Talentless. Baffling. Draining. Lousy. Anti-life. Joyless. Avoid. Hopeless. Unprofessional. Worthless. I'd-almost-rather-watch-Uwe-Boll-filmography-kind-of-film.In a word, bad!Skeleton Man is what happens when you give money to people that have no idea how films, or even more broadly, stories function. It has absolutely no creativity, talent or skill behind it. And what's even worse, it's not even that funny in its incompetence. Often you can at least laugh at how utterly the film fails, but in this case you just simply sit there, bored out of your skull, asking the question: "Why?"Where to even begin. First of all, the props. The villain, supposedly an undead Indian warrior spirit, who actually looks more like a fourteen-year-old fanboy cosplaying as Skeletor from He-Man. Seriously, I could buy a more convincing skull mask from any carnival store in existence. The same thing with the cape, which is so shiny, smooth and plasticy that you could use it as a mirror. Made even more baffling by the fact that in about half of the scenes they use a far superior cape. Did they simply decide not to re-shoot the scenes with the hilariously wrong cape after the right one had arrived?Secondly, the actors and the characters are some of the worst I've ever seen. They're either needlessly pampering to the male demographic, utterly avoid of any personality or usually both. Worst is the villain, who has no presence, character or even really backstory. I've seen kittens covered in soap bubbles that are more frightening than he is.This film should not exist. It is an insult to every other film, nay, every other story in existence. Please, do the world a favour and burn any copy you come across.

Aaron1375 I have this film in a collection of about 7 other films. This pack was in turn in a double back with another 8 movie collection. I paid only five bucks for it, so while the couple of movies I have seen have not been amazing, it is still worth it. I would hate to have bought this when it first came out and paid five bucks for it by itself! It has a couple of good points in that it is rather fast paced and Michael Rooker does a decent enough performance to at least make it seem a bit less like a porno with no sex. Casper Van Dien is in it too, but he does not make much of an impact and is killed in a scene that makes little sense thanks to editing and story.The story has an archaeologist uncovering a skull or something and he and his wife are soon attacked. We witness a black hooded person descend from the ceiling, throw around some stuff and proceed to kill the archaeologist before chasing after his wife who ends up in a power plant or something. Not sure, but they always ended up at the same factory, I guess they paid to use it and were going to make sure they got their money's worth even when using the site made no sense to the story! Well some military people are sent in to the woods to investigate as this killer has been busy killing everyone in his path. Apparently, we are now to the B squad as the jokers they have assembled with the exception of Rooker's character do not look as if they could be trusted to get the correct groceries if you gave them a detailed list. One of them even mentions she is a underwater demolition expert, because one of those is a necessity in the middle of a forest! Another girl says she is a sniper training instructor, yet she does not even wield a sniper rifle when they finally break out the weapons! The film quickly becomes another in a long string of films that is copying Predator and like most of them that are not Predator it is pretty bad.One of my biggest gripes about this one is the killer. A skull face supernatural killer who is wearing a black cloak whose origins are explained incoherently by a very white Indian who is a lot clearer when he talks about beans. The killer, quite frankly, looks like crap. A cheap Halloween cloak and mask are what adorns him and it does not look sinister at all. I am a bit baffled as to why it looks so cheap. This film features multiple explosions, a helicopter crash and a cheap looking monster that undercuts the entire mood of the film. Perhaps, the money they spent on explosions and such could have been better spent on a make up artist and some better props? I mean, the killer who is apparently a dead Indian warrior or something is using a nice ax that looks like it was purchased at Walmart along with the mask and cape.So, this film did move fast and it featured a lot of kills, but for the most part it was a disappointment thanks to the horrible cheap look of the film, the cheap looking monster and the fact that you cast these bimbos and do not show some skin! Sorry, but none of them looked like anyone I have seen in the military, so that means they were cast because they were pretty. Might as well exploit that as they all were terrible as actresses. I did like how they killed the stupid girl who said, "If it bleeds, I can kill it." So far, I have not seen too many of the films on this collection, hopefully, there will be a diamond in the rough, but I somehow doubt it.

nooware Now that's a BAD movie, really, but it's not one of the worst I've ever seen. Let me explain.1. Storyline: no. You can't really call it a story. From a wiped out archaeologist to a crack-addicted tramp being called a native Indian, with a patchwork of so-called soldiers facing a poorly nicknamed skeleton living in a parallel *cough* dimension, it's like a puzzle you must solve where all the pieces clearly belong to the same scene but don't match together. You can't achieve the whole picture. You just understand that there's nothing of interest here and it gets quickly boring.2. Script: there are so many inconsistencies that I really wonder if most of the big money invested hasn't in fact been used to repeatedly pay a dealer in order to put the whole team high on drugs.3. Filming: apart from scenes of nature with OK landscapes, sometimes filmed in a trippy way - which again hints at drugs being used by the director himself - the rest is bad quality, low budget, with a lot of clichés.4. Effects: really bad. A body is thrown down a waterfall and you clearly see that its a dummy, due to its odd position while it's falling. The posture of the legs don't even match with the laws of anatomy.5. Acting: this is where the movie, while not doing so well, remains the most credible. Kudos to the actors who at least tried to do what they were paid for.It could have been worse, really! First go see "The Terminators" pastiche movie, and then you'll praise Skeleton Man for being just an ordinary flop.

me myself I felt horror when I saw this movie. I was horrified to see how bad a movie can actually get! Aside from the dumbest story line and stupid characters (An angry guy wearing a Halloween skeleton mask possessing super powers like one-shot-kill-a-helicopter-with-a-bow, riding a horse or horses using a SWORD!!! as a weapon that kills every one he sees, an undercover for an unknown reason delta force team hiking in the forest and some unlucky victims for the "Skeleton Man") one of the things that got on my nerves the most in this movie was the music. Or to be precise the music that plays when the "Skeleton Man" is trying to kill or killing someone. That track is number one in my Worst Tracks Ever List, partially because its in that movie, partially because it doesn't fit the scene of horrible murder by a monster thing, but mostly because its so irritating!!! I wanted to throw my TV out the window every time "Skeleton Man" killed someone. The movie looks like either the director is 7 years old or they actually tried to make it that bad (I think that even with a bigger budget a lot bigger it would still suck). Before I saw this movie I have seen only one movie with Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers 1997) and thought that (since I liked that movie) he was a good actor, but when I have seen this movie (Skeleton Man) my opinion changed drastically (Of course it changed even more when I saw Starship Troopers 3 Marauder). The bottom line this movie SUCKS D**K. But I do recommend to watch it since its really funny watching a SO BAD movie.
