Plot:

Once thought to be only a legend, this ancient evil returns from the grave to wreak a terrible vengeance on all who are unfortunate enough to cross its path…
Reviews:
“Conway’s script is full of suspense and intrigue and serves up some surprises in the “Who’s the next victim?” department. He does a stirring job with both the western drama and horror elements and is assisted nicely by a solid cast and some impressive practical effects and makeup work. A couple of CGI effects are rather obvious but don’t distract much from the proceedings.” Horror Fuel
” …Skinwalker doesn’t do anything with Native American traditions except use them to dress up a fairly generic demon […] Skinwalker isn’t that bad. It did hold my interest and there are a few good scares. It’s all familiar material, but it’s competently enough told that it isn’t boring.” Voices from the Balcony

Uncork’d Entertainment will unleash Skinwalker on DVD and Digital on July 13, 2021.
