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.

jglambgary bad writing good cast wooded arrow takes out a rotor on a helicopter come on. Delta force does not fire a shot until 54 minutes in the movie ? It is hard to believe in the cast or the movie when you set it up to fail with bad writing the writer needs to find another job.I gave it a 6 because you have a great cast and the makings of a good movie but you need the audience to believe in the characters and believe they are there and what would they do. I can tell you I would have fired my rifel long before anyone in the film did. The other thing they never actually explain why the Indian betrayed his tribe you need detail on a back story. Well if you are bored I recommend watching this but if there something better on skip it.

RTheManF89 I got this in The Horror Six-Pack from Echo Bridge Home Entertainment. This one is not the worst movie ever made, but it still sucks. In fact, this movie sucked so hard, I don't know how I'm gonna write this review, especially since 1. I popped it out of the DVD player because I couldn't even watch another second and 2. Hurricane friggin' Ike is coming and God knows how long 'til it take for me to get this review done. The movie starts off with a scientist and his wife. The scientist receives a valuable artifact and examines it when this supposedly Urban Legend known as the Skeleton Man kills him, and later on his wife. Then... I'm sorry, but there's really not much else I can say about this POS except don't bother. I'm currently using the disc as a coaster, and if you see this, you might want to do the same. Casper Van Dien and Michael Rooker must have needed cash...BADLY! PS. I'll pretty much be reviewing the movies in the boxset and might do a new review on Ghoulies IV.

witchsmeller-1 WARNING! WARNING! While I disliked this film greatly, and I cannot see many people liking it, (except for creepy male teenagers) I get angry when people expect something from SCI-Fi channel, It is a bloody made-for-t.v. movie staring low-B actors! Get real people, go in expecting a bad movie, receive it, and then make a verdict. Do not watch it (skeleton man in particular) if you are highly opinionated! Now for the real review! This movie is quite pathetic, and it adds it self to the festering tripe lining the squishy smelly stomach of the Sci-fi channel. The acting is horrible, and the costumes/make-up are terrible. For example, the Garbage-bag cloak of the dead warrior? Ach, it made the actor look like a stick wrapped in a blanket. It over-sized him by about 3-1, and so, for an example of how big it was, the skull of the thing had an over-sized hood around it, that stood up by itself somehow, making the skull, look like a pea in a plastic bag. Also, there seemed to be a lot of unnecessary deaths. Watch it and see for yourself...Muahahahaa
