The A.V. ClubSteven Hyden
While it isn't particularly scary or suspenseful, it's fun and surprisingly breezy compared with its big-budget brethren. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
Adds little to the annals of werewolf lore. But it's briskly paced and features a couple of clever twists on genre conventions. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jason Anderson
A Canadian-made werewolf thriller, Skinwalkers occasionally rises above its station as a standard-issue horror flick to deliver some enjoyably cheeseball thrills. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyChuck Wilson

The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck
A thoroughly undistinguished addition to a genre that probably reached its peak a quarter-century ago with "An American Werewolf in London." Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
Yawningly directed by Jim Isaac, Skinwalkers is a slavering mess that buries its clunky addiction metaphor beneath a welter of genre clichés, all delivered in extra-slow motion. Read full review

Shapeshifters-lite. Fangs but no fangs. Read full review
