Introduction"Skinwalkers" is a 2006 horror-action movie directed by James Isaac. The screenplay was composed by James DeMonaco, Todd Harthan, and James Roday. The film takes motivation from Native American folklore about skinwalkers, a being with the capability to change into any animal they desire.
PlotThe story focuses on two tribes of werewolves, one aiming to manage their blood-lust and live among human beings, while the other welcomes their animalistic violence. They are secured a ruthless war with each other. The dispute in between the two people escalates when it's exposed that a predestined event including a half-human, half-werewolf kid named Timothy (Matthew Knight) may deal with their curse.
Timothy, turning thirteen within 3 days, ignores his fate. It is believed that his coming of age throughout the Red Moon can either release all or curse all skinwalkers, depending upon who has Timothy in their control. The skinwalkers who want to continue their monster life want Timothy dead. The group wishing to live as human beings, made of Timothy's mother Rachel (Rhona Mitra), and Timothy's uncle Jonas (Elias Koteas), secure him.
Dispute As Timothy's thirteenth birthday methods, he ends up being the target of attack from the monster clan that believes in their violent nature. These skinwalkers, led by Varek (Jason Behr), wish to eliminate Timothy to ensure that the skinwalker curse continues the Red Moon's light. On the other hand, the group that desires to rid themselves of menstruation and lives humanely guard Timothy increasingly.
ResolutionThe film builds up to a climactic confrontation between the two opposing monster people. Varek gets killed in the battle, leaving Timothy's protective group triumphant. On his thirteenth birthday, in the light of the Red Moon, Timothy's change begins, impacting all other skinwalkers. As the Red Moon fades, it leaves ambiguous whether they still possess their curse or live free as human beings.
Conclusion"Skinwalkers" is a significant mix of action, horror, and intense narrative that bases on the mythos of skinwalkers. The movie integrates elements of Native American folklore in addition to the standard monster story to develop an unique mix that sets it apart from conventional category movies. While the movie leaves the resolution open up to analysis, the message is clear-- flexibility and peace are worth defending.
