Night of the Skinwalkers, not to be confused with the low quality malware-infested version going around pirate sites known as The Night The World Ends (which is unwatchable due to pixelazation, audio issues and missing scenes), is a fun low budget indie film especially when you consider it had a budget of 3K. Think about that: $3,000. Those bashing this film likely don't realize that or are MIB shills that don't want some of the film's dialogue being discussed (which I won't go into to avoid spoilers).
The film has a slow start, but it is no slower than many Stephen King movies. Stick with it, the film gets better midway through and the ending is amazing. There's a reason this film has already become an official selection at multiple film festivals.
I really liked another film the director of this movie made, SARS-29, which I saw at Chicago Horror Film Fest, and while it's not as hilarious as that movie, it does follow the same slow build up so that by the end of the movie, you understand why.
Don't expect a full blown alien invasion movie. This is more like Psycho with an alien. First half hour or so is a slow burn like Signs but once it takes off, man does it have a twist you will not see coming from a mile away.
It gets 10/10 for being fresh, original and fun in ways few films these days are. Does it have flaws? For sure, but with a budget of 3K, don't hold it against the most original film so far of 2024.
