Skeleton Man

This movie has no cohesiveness.  From the first scene where Skeleton Man appears until the very end, you never know what you are going to see next.

The beginning scene lets us know that a Native-American skull has been discovered.  And it also lets us know that there was an evil spirit protecting the skull.  The professor/archiologist that discovered the skull soon finds out that the evil spirit is Skeleton Man.  The professor's assistant flees the research cabin, deep in the woods, to come across some sort of industrial facility.  Security at the facility proves to be no match for Skeleton Man.

A group of four women and four guys are sent to investigate.  You know they mean business because they perform a camoflage make-up scene with slow-motion walking afterwards.  Later, they stumble upon an indian man in the woods and he relays the story of Skeleton Man.  One by one, the team is picked off.  There are even some scenes of utterly-no-relevance-to-the-story violence.  Fisherman, ... shot with arrow.  Big rig driver, ... knifed. 

There are some nice kills by Skeleton Man that involve scapling and impailing several different victims.  One of the women in the group annouces, "If it breathes, I can kill it."  Nothing signs a death notice like trying to be the hero with 30 minutes remaining in the film.

The kills by Skeleton Man are not enough to save this film.  The story jumps around more than a kangaroo on a trampoline.

I give it 1/2 out of 5 spears.
