I am surprised to see so many people bad-mouthing SKELETON MAN. Yes, the movie is extremely bad, but that's precisely the point: it's supposed to be bad! All the weird editing, the corny dialogue,crappy gore, and overall stupidity was done on purpose and this is why it's a very funny movie. I'm not saying it's a 10, but I'm saying it's definitely not a 1 either. I would probably give it 5 stars or so on account of its being an ingenious spoof...
shareNo it's not, You're obviously wrong
shareI beg to differ.
shareSorry fauxgirl, this movie is a flat out spoof of the present horror genre. It was produced in the same spirit that Larry Blamire's "Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" spoofed bad horror/sci-fi movies of the 1950's and 60's.
"Skeleton Man" was intended to suck for the fun of it!
Just take a look at the trivia
shareI did as you advised.
# This film was originally entitled "Cotton Mouth Joe".A horror movie called cotton mouth joe?
# In Germany the movie is tagged as a comedy-film and not as a horror-film. The advertising slogan on the DVD-Package announces "Here lives the spirit of Ed Wood"
Another Troma fan? hahaha. Well, 10 mins into the film I peg it already as a terrible rip-off (or tribute) to Predator. I'll let it be a parody of Predator for now. Better that way.

I thought this film just flat-out sucked.
"We're all part Shatner/And part James Dean/Part Warren Oates/And Steven McQueen"
I would buy that, but they put too much work into making it look serious.
