Reception

Critical reception for Skinwalker Ranch was mixed to negative. Common criticism centered on the plot, which Shock Till You Drop considered to be due to the over familiarity of films of this nature and of movies purported to be based on true events. Libertas Film Magazine and the Salt Lake Tribune both gave positive reviews for Skinwalker Ranch, with the Tribune praising the movie's visual-effects work. Dan Callahan of RogerEbert.com gave a mixed review, remarking that "There is no point in "Skinwalker Ranch" when it seems as if this could actually be found footage, but it does garner a few scares and even a few honest laughs in its rather short running time. If you’re looking for a neat little Halloween movie, you could do worse."
