although casper van dien and michael rooker be generally relegate to b movie and even they be above this movie . it fail to convey even the slight sense of excitement and fear and or dread unless you count the dread of sit through the rest of this garbage . the direction be amateurish with annoy cut and jerky movement that hide the fact that the killer be no where near the victim when he attack . and what a killer he be represent a cheap skull mask and a black hood . i like him well when he be fight he man . this be one of the lazy job of character design i have ever see . i mean and it skeletor . and he on a horse . this be suppose to be some scary and supernatural creature . how be we suppose to take this seriously . all we get be scene of this dude rid around the wood on his horse which he can barely stay on interspersed with scene of soldier shoot randomly into the wood and think they can shoot a ghost . occasionally and skeletor will shoot someone with an arrow or ride by and stab someone and reveal how corny the effect really be . i generally enjoy sci fi channel fare on a basic cheese level and but this film be too inept for any level of enjoyment . where dolph lundgren when you need him .
