Rating: 2.8/5 -- The picture isn't particularly well-constructed, but Ernest Dickerson's direction is stylish and the performances are solid, making it very watchable - even though overall, Bones lacks many genuine thrills. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- The bogus script doesn't leave anyone in the cast, including the usually impressive Pam Grier, much chance of a stellar performance. Full Review

Made with sufficient skill to produce a few shivers. Just as important, it contains enough self-mocking humor to earn a few laughs.

Rating: 2.5/5 -- Too much of Bones feels transplanted from genre staples like Hellraiser.

Rating: 1/4 -- It takes a full hour before anything interesting happens (believe me, I checked)... Full Review

...BONES has plenty of humor mixed in with blood and gore....The one-liners come quick....Snoop Dogg is cool, calm and charismatic...

Splits the difference between horror and social commentary, with pallid returns. Full Review

Product Description:

BONES features rapper Snoop Dogg in his first starring role as the benevolent neighborhood kingpin, Jimmy Bones, who is betrayed and murdered in 1979, and returns to get his horrific revenge twenty years later. Patrick (Khalil Kain), the son of one of the witnesses to the murder, Jeremiah (Clifton Powell), decides to turn the creepy abandoned brownstone where Bones once lived into a nightclub. He and his crew move into the building, where a terrifying presence makes itself known. Patrick also meets the beautiful Cinnabar (Bianca Lawson), the daughter of Bones' old flame, Pearl (Pam Grier). But the vengeful spirit released from the old house jeopardizes their newfound love, and their lives. Drenched in stage blood and sprinkled with sex, BONES delivers its gory chills in the style of Italian horror masters like Mario Bava and Dario Argento, with a touch of Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name thrown in. Director Ernest Dickerson proved his skill at horror with the entertaining TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT. Here, he puts a hip-hop spin on a classic horror narrative. The updated motif gives the film a sociopolitical edge, and Snoop's performance harkens back to the blaxploitation films of the 1970s.
