TITLE-Skeleton Man
SOURCE-DVD
I had heard for years how bad this "horror" film is. Had a friend that loved shitty horror claim it was one of the worst she had seen. So when I found the DVD for a buck I had to grab it.
A man removes a skull from an ancient Indian Burial ground. Causing the Skeleton Man to rise from the grave,hop on his horse and ride through the woods killing people. Skeleton Man is someone in a cheap leftover cloak the production staff got from an after Halloween sale at Walgreens. And Skeleton Man has on a skull mask. The standard Skull mask you find for 10 bucks at any store around Halloween. The horse Skeleton Man rides,it changes color from shot to shot. Yep they didn't bother to get horses that look similar for this film.
Fairly quickly Skeleton Man kills off two "Delta Force" troops that are in the woods. Never seen Delta Force dressed in cheap workout gear. Still their deaths brings in the only names this film could get.
Michael Rooker,yea I know to many he is Merle from Walking Dead,he is always Henry from Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer to me. He is head of a another group of "Delta Force" Troops. Which also includes Casper Van Dien. I always wondered how and why he went from big roles like Starship Troopers and Sleep Hollow to made for SYFY tripe like this.
The rest of the film is this group of "Delta Force"members trying to stop Skeleton Man. And if this is legit Delta Force wow recruiting standards have went way down since I was in the military.
The kills are decent,fairly gory and look good. Just you get dumb stuff like a scene where Skeleton Man uses a standard arrow to take down a helicopter.
Normally a film like this I can just sit back and enjoy it being BIG DUMB FUN. This is just dumb!
Skeleton Man gets a D+
