Review of Hunt for the Skinwalker (2018) by Celluloid C — 13 Sep 2018

Tedious documentary about a group paid by a very rich guy to investigate reports of spooky goings-on at a Utah ranch which he owned for some years.

If you can handle the overly dramatic music and inappropriate BIG WORDS POPPING UP ONSCREEN RANDOMLY, then the rest of the presentation is passable. I imagine the investigators purchased their 'Doctor' titles online because their conclusion is that their lack of any vaguely plausible evidence is down to the "entity" being conscious and deliberately hiding itself and any evidence. There are a couple of locals interviewed who are encouraged by the interviewer to agree that what they have seen must be supernatural or extraterrestrial. These would have made interesting 3 minute YouTube clips.

But the highlights are the nonsense one-liners spouted by the narrator and participants, here are my favourites:

"Imagine a place between shadow and substance".

"This is a hunt. A hunt for answers to unformed questions".

"I was like you... until I wasn't".

"We used dogs as bio-sensors".

"We live in the middle of some other kind of intelligence".

"A chainsaw vanished while being used".

"The high strangeness of these kind of objects".

"Frequently things would happen just off camera".

And then Robbie Williams turns up desperately wanting to believe. These people have too much money and too much time on their hands.

Only for complete braindead suckers, or for those who love a laugh at/with the paranormal documentary genre. The truth is out there, but you won't find it here!The truth is out there, but you won't find it here!
