Skeleton Man is a 2004 sci-fi/horror movie starring Casper Van Dien and Michael Rooker as members of a Special Ops group who are assigned to eliminate a Grim-Reaper-style killer who has taken out several soldiers.

Owing more than a few elements from the 1987 film Predator, Skeleton Man first aired in the US on March 1, 2004 on the then SciFi Channel.
