Synopsis: A government research team sent to a ranch in Utah to investigate supernatural phenomena surrounding the disappearance of the ranch owner’s 10-year-old son. What they found was terrifying.

Review: Skinwalker Ranch a found footage that has managed to rank in my top 5 after two viewings in the same week. I loved it. A team of the traditional white people going into a place they have no business to research supernatural phenomena. When an old Indian dude tells you to get the fuck off the property….well. But hey, that’s just me. Hoyt the owner of the Skinwalker Ranch was leading the American dream with him his wife and 10-year-old son. Hoyt’s son Cody disappeared literally into thin air on his birthday. It was caught on camera. Of course, there was the usual town gossip and speculation, but the truth was much more than anyone could have imagined.

An investigative team came to document the phenomena and to try to help Hoyt locate the missing child. The phenomena consisted of deafening sounds, flashing light and a big huge dog to name a few things. Please keep in mind Skinwalker Ranch does exist and but it’s known as Sherman Ranch. The ranch is 480 acres southeast of Ballard, Utah it borders the Ute Indian reservation. The name Skinwalker comes from an old Indian Legend.

Even though the likelihood of this story being real is probably zero. The movie  still blew me away. What the team of scientist experienced at this ranch was subtle and gradually got worse and worse over time. And I love that they gave a pretty decent background even if most of it is bull. With that being said there were some questionable points was it paranormal or aliens?

The acting was solid and brilliantly done for this type of movie. Visuals were good for the whole found footage thing. It may seem a little like the movie was trying to do too much or like the tried to cram a whole lot into a short period. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it

*Update:* I found out the only part of this story that is supposedly true is a boy went missing. The rest is myth and folklore.

7/10: I enjoyed the movie. I know most have given it shitty reviews. But hey trust and believe, I have seen far worse and only slightly better.
