The
last time I reported on a SKINWALKERS clip I was pretty stoked
about it. There was a bar room brawl featuring one of those hairy beasts kicking
some ass against the local drunks. But with
this new clip from STYD, I’m starting to
change my mind about this latest attempt in bringing werewolves to the big
screen.
SKINWALKERS is
supposed to be about a 12-year-old boy who
suddenly finds himself at the center of a battle between two warring groups of
werewolves. One group of werewolves is sworn to protect him, the other group is
trying to kill him – and the young boy’s mother has to find out why her son is
at the center of the conflict before time runs out. That’s
all fine and dandy, but why the hell is a couple of lame-ass bikers shooting up
a truck filled with another group of heavily armed individuals? Where’s the
teeth, the claws, the clumps of blood matted fur?
I’m all for having a film that
changes up the mythos of a type of character, but it just doesn’t make sense to
me to have these werewolves firing semi-automatic weapons at each other in the
street…in the day. Even if they can’t ‘transform’ in the day, why the hell
would they go out and battle anyways? Just wait until nightfall damn it!
Anyways, to see what I’m bitchin’
about, head over to
STYD to peep the clip, and if you can explain
what’s going on in the film, than by all means spit some bullets below and
school me in the ways of SKINWALKERS.
