Hunt For The Skinwalker is a 2018 documentary from investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell. It's based on the book of the same name written by George Knapp and Dr. Colm Kelleher. It's a mixture of film from George Knapp’s personal archive of unreleased footage. It takes this original content from previous investigations and mixes it with new content from Corbell. The film is broken up into chapters that takes original footage and voiceover from Knapp to tell the story, Corbell then interludes with information and details that make transitions between topics smooth. The footage that Knapp brings to the table is what everyone wants to see. Lights in the sky, pictures and footage of mutilated cows, and other things that we’ve literally only read about. The thing that sticks out to me the most is the footage of what appears to be a building trying to apparate in an open space. It's as if there is some other universe and in this certain location the fabric of time and space is at its weakest, allowing these things to shimmer through. Of course there are physical events that have happened on the ranch as well, from shadow people to mysterious animals. I won't spoil these things for you. You have to keep in mind that these pictures and pieces of film are real, and come from the NIDS (National Institute for Discovery Science) program started by Robert Bigelow. The fact that actual NIDS members are interviewed and open about their experiences makes it even more real. Corbell interviews a woman who had an experience near the property. She breaks down during filming and cries. While watching this moment take place I wanted to jump in and give the woman a hug, her fear is real. Corbell then stands and comforts the woman. It’s certainly a genuine moment. There is no real conclusion here, the investigations are still ongoing through the sale of the ranch, and the new owner is invested in continuing research. It’s a continuing story and comes out at a time where the government is coming forward with new programs about UFOs/UAPs. The film actually ends on that note. It ties all of the recent news about AATIP and other research groups, publicly funded or not, together. It’s a story that’s still developing. I sense updates coming in the future, let’s hope it doesn’t take forever for new information to come out. All that aside, the cinematography is beautiful. Shots are planned out and you really get a sense for the area. You know the location is rural and that the people who live in the area are long time residents. Families have lived on these lands for generations. If you’re a fan of mysterious happenings, high strangeness, UFOs and other wild things you probably already know of the ranch and some of the stories. The film is worth the watch even if you’re not into this stuff. Corbell does not seek to make you a believer, he seeks to make you think about the possibilities. Walking away from this film just leaves you with more questions than answers. I kind of prefer it this way. Do you want to know what dark forces are behind these events? Maybe humanity is better off not knowing? What I do know is that there is still more to discover, more to learn, and eventually, humanity might understand. I give this film 4 UFOs out of 5.
