The Shadow Walkers

For one, the movie is entirely clichéd. For two, (I have to admit) I am grateful that it is only a "scifi," because if it were actually based off any real things, I would be a thousand times more insulted than I am, by merely the photo-work. The old zombie-like appearance is so far overdone that it has been done literally to death. On top of that, the acting, as I have seen, even in the commercials is so horrible, and the "special effects" are just as bad, that a child in grade school could have done better.

Frankly, "The Shadow Walkers" is an insult to me, personally, to others who really ARE Shadow Walkers, and even to the very intelligence of those who watch the movie. I have seen better acting and "special effects" out of a Rob Zombie film. In the least, for a movie like this, the creators could have chosen another name for it, instead of picking something out which obviously has nothing to do with the idea behind the movie, let alone what they call "special effects." The movie doesn't even depict what a real Shadow Walker is, let alone does it have a decent storyline.

To be blunt, this movie should never have been made.

I just created my IMDb profile just to comment this movie At first when I saw the cover of the DVD box, it looked like an interesting Resident Evil type movie (I like those movies even if we are invaded by those these days), so I bought it. Yep 10$ I'll never see again. When I watched the movie for the first time on my PC, I thought they had put the wrong movie on the DVD. I have one random question, why is there a picture of a girl on the cover? Anyways, I just couldn't believe it.

At first, as the movie starts, all meanings of "acting" disappears. It's hard to become absorbed in a movie where the characters are acting just like if they were playing in "Scary Movie". The main character, who's supposed to be an army men or something, doesn't know how to hold a shotgun coreclty and has a very mind buzzing/confusing way of fighting. Maybe I'm too used to seeing movies like "The Matrix" or Jet Lee movies, but I think there's a limit.

The visual effects and the editing are poor. I was sure it was a 90's horror movie inspired who's director's vision was highly inspired by Power Rangers, but then I saw on IMDb that it was a 2006 release. I was speechless. Come on, replay 5 times the same stunt in 60 diff angles with 15fps poor slow motion effects and fades is bad. I am sure the movie was filmed with a 200$ digital camera with a 5$ computer microphone and edited with Windows Movie Maker. No, I'm sorry, WMM can't make green screen effects, which were unaceptable for a 2006 production.

The music makes no sense with the actions that are presented. What's the deal with the terrific metal band that plays the music for the "action" scenes... The first song kinda sounded OK.

The sound effects are so cheesy. Some sounds were obviously directly taken from games and/or taken from a very common sound database. I'm sure I've heard some Starcraft sounds in there. The creatures' voice changing is hilarious.

The costumes and the make-up is laughable. The army related costumes are the best. Like I have these clothes at home in a closet we never open. The make-up is soooo outdated. They used the same type of make-up in the 1922 movie "Nosferatu" without the green. Personnaly, I wouldn't be so scared of weird green face monsters with plastic teeth.

The setting is (im running out of vocabulary). They managed to film almost the entire movie in a subterranean parking. I think this is pretty impressive, but sad.

If you want to rent a scary movie, stay as far as you can from this movie. If you want to rent a funny movie, jump on this one, its the best because it wasn't meant to be funny. If you want, you can actually make copies this film and sell them legally, because the government knows you won't make a penny out of it.

Some people make me mad when I see the reviews that they have on certain films. For instance all the people who have only said negative things about this film are just people who are bored with their lives so they must try and feel better by making the most negative comments about something else. Now although that may truly be how you feel, i think that you are not as smart as you think because you don't know anything about this film. To me this film is a low paid film, made by a young director who is not so experienced as a director or writer. Its a working progress assholes so don't be so judgemental. I bet half of you couldn't think of your own plot. And people saying how it is just a copy, i wanna see you write a film that has nothing to do with any other film created. But what I think is most disappointing is how everyone seems to not take into consideration the time and money management. along with the budget of paying the actors. So until you know everything it took to create this film. Shut your mouths and get a job and move out of your mother's basements.

Yes, I gave it four stars. Was the acting bad? I think the producer got what he paid for. Were the special effects laughable? Same answer as earlier. The plot, I think it was a decent amalgam of successful movie plots, (although poorly executed). I'm sure this was meant to be a funny (for the most part). I think a different director would have made all the difference. The way that some of the scenes played out was plain laughable. I mean the martial arts was kind of cool, but come on! These are supposed to be super strong fast kinda intelligent zompires. ( I say that because at some points in the movie he protects himself with light from a flashlight.) I think that a better director could have really done something with this film. That or more boobs. I vote for more boobs. I recommend watching this drunk with friends.

This movie is probably the worst movie I have ever seen. I mean there's a ton of other bad movies out there but this beats them all. Its actually considered a comedy because the acting is so bad and the make up and special effects. Its a lot of fun though to sit through it and laugh a lot. There's the funniest scream in the movie too. They play it twice. Watch this movie if you're looking to make great inside jokes with friends or family or if you just want to hear the greatest scream of all time. The actors probably deserve an award of some kind for being some of the worst out there. Don't let the cover to this movie fool you. Or the description because you'll be jipped for sure.
