So here, as best as I could understand it, is what "Skinwalkers" is about. Skinwalkers have wolf blood running in their veins. This leads them to be a fairly violent group of people. They may look like normal people (well, like normal psychopathic killer people, but otherwise normal). They can kill with curses and move at lightening speed. They are always searching the sky for the rise of the blood-red moon. Of course, Hollywood has combined werewolves and vampires because skinwalkers thirst for the taste of human blood, but that's just a minor detail.
Young "Timothy" is approaching his thirteenth birthday. Yet he is not looking forward to a Bar Mitzvah party. No, when Tim turns thirteen he will turn into a crazy, flesh eating monster. On his 13th birthday, Timothy will become another skinwalker. He, for reasons not adequately explained, has the power to end the curse and let the skinwalkers lead normal lives. If the curse ends, they no longer will need human blood (and who knows, maybe they will also get haircuts and some nice, new clothes!)
Overall, this terrifying, action adventure is not the least bit terrifying. You have to spend too much time figuring out who is who. Yes, there are "good" (relatively) skinwalkers and bad ones. Unfortunately, they tend to dress alike. It's too confusing telling them apart.
My advice, go see Ocean's Thirteen with a date instead. It's a charming comedy rather than a depraved, bloody horror film. Makes a much nicer evening out.
