Only 4.5?
I liked this film. There aren't many good werewolf flicks out there after The Howling, An American Werewolf in London, and Dog Soldiers.
The FX weren't great, but otherwise I thought this film was well done. In the first 45 minutes there isn't much time devoted to the skinwalker, and I started enjoying the movie just as a good Western. It really could have worked just as well that way, minus the skinwalker.
But overall, not bad. I give it a 5.6
