Gustaf Looma In an unspecified wilderness of the American West, the spirit of an Indian goes hunting for humans. Years before he wiped out in a fit of madness and its trunk is now back to demand more of life. After two archaeologists and a team of military his sword (!) Have fallen victim to be an undercover team of Special Forces, led by Captain Leary (Michael Rooker) and Staff Sgt Oberron (Casper Van Dien) charged with the murder to put an end to ...It is completely funny film. Don't take it seriously. Never take such a film seriously... I mean come on, even the title is ridiculous. I mean sure if you are one of those people who don't see the point in B-type horror or other films like this then this is not for you. Can't blame you... but even if America has brought us shitty wars, then this is their better side the not so serious. I mean what are the actors thinking? How can they do their roles in such seriousness when the Skeleton Man enters... I sure couldn't could you?

nooware Now that's a BAD movie, really, but it's not one of the worst I've ever seen. Let me explain.1. Storyline: no. You can't really call it a story. From a wiped out archaeologist to a crack-addicted tramp being called a native Indian, with a patchwork of so-called soldiers facing a poorly nicknamed skeleton living in a parallel *cough* dimension, it's like a puzzle you must solve where all the pieces clearly belong to the same scene but don't match together. You can't achieve the whole picture. You just understand that there's nothing of interest here and it gets quickly boring.2. Script: there are so many inconsistencies that I really wonder if most of the big money invested hasn't in fact been used to repeatedly pay a dealer in order to put the whole team high on drugs.3. Filming: apart from scenes of nature with OK landscapes, sometimes filmed in a trippy way - which again hints at drugs being used by the director himself - the rest is bad quality, low budget, with a lot of clichés.4. Effects: really bad. A body is thrown down a waterfall and you clearly see that its a dummy, due to its odd position while it's falling. The posture of the legs don't even match with the laws of anatomy.5. Acting: this is where the movie, while not doing so well, remains the most credible. Kudos to the actors who at least tried to do what they were paid for.It could have been worse, really! First go see "The Terminators" pastiche movie, and then you'll praise Skeleton Man for being just an ordinary flop.

gavin6942 A team of US Special Forces is picked off by a mysterious man on horseback. Another team (lead by Michael Rooker) goes in to rescue them, and after being told more by a blind Indian, face the same man. But this is no ordinary person... can he be stopped by mere bullets?Before this film began, I decided to look up a few reviews to see what I was getting myself into. Universally, this film is given about the lowest rating of any movie I have ever seen. While I daresay it's not as bad as "Nine Lives" or "Hell's Threshold", it surely does go from "this has potential" to "what the heck" in record time.The potential is obvious: a film starring Michael Rooker, known for such great genre films as "Slither" and "Henry". Plenty of impalements here, too, as well as explosions and beheadings. You would think the gore alone might sell this picture (heck, it works for Lamberto Bava).But the fact is that this film has two major problems. One, it's excessively boring. You can only show so many firefights before I get sleepy, and you can only have the soldiers run over the same ground again and again so often. The plot amounts to nothing more than this: man on horseback appears, gets shot at, disappears. Repeat.And second, it makes absolutely no sense. Why are military men in a forest in the first place? What is the origin of the Skeleton Man? What are his motives? What does any of this have to do with the nearby chemical plant? The more you think about it, the more you realize that the writer put no effort whatsoever into creating a coherent story.Do yourself a big favor and just stay the heck away from this one. I have a copy because it appears in a multi-pack. I suppose in this case, I could say it was free, but I'm tempted to say it's not even worth being free... I feel like the creators owe me something for my emotional and mental distress. For a similar, but better, plot, watch "Predator".

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.
