Skin Walker

The first half is fine. At first you don't know what's going on, but then little by little, you start to get the idea. Maybe you'll guess the twist along the way, but good cinematography, sound effects and acting will probably keep you invested in the story enough to carry on. At least for a while.

And then in the second half, it falls on its face. And keeps falling deeper and deeper. I won't spoil it here, but you'll know it when it happens... and keeps happening.

It becomes grotesque to the point it loses its edge and gets laughable instead of creepy. You won't die out of fear, but cringe might just do the job.

I watched this mess of a film and I don't think I would ever recommend it to anyone. The thing about this movie is that although everything is almost good, the plot is so so so messy that spoils it all. I mean, you're a hero if you make it to the end. And if you make it to the end, like myself, you will realize how stupid you are for not watching literally ANYTHING else. I'm giving it a generous 4 out of 10 only because the acting was good. Don't waste your precious time with this one.

Complete waste of time, very weak plot which was all over the place...Didn't make sense half the time..couldn't wait for it to end..

I recently viewed the Luxembourg 🇱🇺 film Skin Walker (2019) on Tubi. The plot revolves around a young woman with a troubled past that includes her mother's descent into madness after her brother's birth, and a brother that's believed to be dead. Seeking help from a psychiatrist who only adds self doubt, she returns home after her grandmother's brutal murder and uncovers discrepancies in her memories.

Directed by Christian Neuman (He. She. It.), the cast includes Udo Kier (Suspiria), Amber Anderson (Your Highness), Jefferson Hall (Tenet), Sophie Mousel (The Last Ashes), and Luc Schiltz (The Brand New Testament).

While boasting a compelling concept and worthwhile storyline, the film invests excessive time in plot development. Udo delivers a fantastic performance, embracing his trademark eccentricity. The brother and family subplots are engaging and features enjoyable reveals. The horror utilize solid makeup/masks effectively, concluding with noteworthy horror elements, though the buildup feels prolonged and takes too long to get to the fun.

In conclusion, Skin Walker is entertaining and merits a watch but falls slightly short of its potential. I would rate this a 5/10 and recommend giving it a viewing.

Ratings mean very little to me, at the end of the day, every film is purely a subjective experience.

A film halfway between psychological thriller and horror. Good choice of English (with French subtitles), which gives it a more international appeal. Good actors, good photography, sound and location. The protagonist of this story, is a young and psychologically fragile young woman (Regine) who must return to confront the ghosts of the past. There is no lack of tension and a decent the final twist. The script leaves something to be desired, but it is offset by well-made flashbacks, capable of revealing some of the plot secrets at the right moment.
