Bones

I don't know why people bitch so much about this film. Even though I didn't find it scary (nothing after The Others is anyway), I thought it was great entertaining. Sure the movie is full of plot holes, sometimes the acting is pedestrian, and the special effects can be laughable, but I don't think the makers set out to make something as scary as The Shining. This is supossed to be funny people, after all Snoop Dogg is there. Check it out lightly

I feel like the bad reviews for this film are due to people taking the film too seriously which wasn't the intent . This film serves as an homage to blaxploitation films that were popular in the 70s and 80s, while also serving as a satirical tribute to slasher films also popular during that era . aside from our main casts, the characters are baseless and undeveloped to the point that the film sometimes comes off as a parody . The gore and effects also come off cheap at times, but I guess that's apart of the charm of this film . I also notice the premise sort of pays homage to Candyman in regards to race-relations, gangs, and the drugs within the community

I thought the film also has an entangling storyline . good movies are supposed to give a backstory to our main antagonist in a way that we feel somewhat empathetic with them . That's exactly what this film does with our main antagonist Snoop Dogg who gives a great performance as Jimmy Bones and is enticing when on the screen . In a way we begin to root for him and his vengeance against the less like-able (and quite frankly soul-less) characters .Pam Grier also gives a great performance as Jimmy's lover . ironically she was also the star of the blaxploitation film "Foxy Brown" , so it was great seeing her in a film that pays homage to an era she was apart of .

Overall I think this film has its flaws , but it was pretty damn solid and enjoyable to watch . Over the years it's gotten its cult following and rightfully so. Bones is a great staple in black horror

With a growing trend of rappers starring in their own movies, Snoop Dogg joins the pack with 'Bones'. Snoop plays Jimmy Bones, a 70s hustler, who is betrayed and murdered by some of his closest associates. Since the time of the murder, Jimmy's corpse is buried in the basement of an abandoned house in Bones' now seedy neighborhood. When a group of empty-headed teenagers buy the abandoned house, they unsurprisingly wake up Jimmy's spirit, resulting in Bones going on a bloody rampage for revenge.

What the heck are we to do with a movie like 'Bones'. Are we supposed to take it seriously as a horror movie. Or laugh at its silliness and Snoop's attempt at becoming a real-life 'Doggfather'. Whatever its intentions are, this movie doesn't have the feel of a horror movie. Rather, it feels more like one of Snoop's pot induced fantasies.

Rating: 5/10 or (2 stars)

I've read the other comment referring to Snoop Doggs'horror film, Bones....When this first came out it was my favourite horror film but I watched it that many times that it lost its' lustre.

The effects are great and plenty of blood and some gore from the outset. The beginning sets the tone for the rest of the film as it's one of those films that you just NEED to get to the bottom of why it is happening and what actually took place to cause it. It all unfolds at a pace enough to keep your interest as a viewer. This film is still a very watchable and enjoyable film in my opinion, even today.

It was nice to see Snoop in something different and anyone that is a Snoop Fan will enjoy this film all the more.....7 out of 10.

Man this film is da Shizzy! Scary as! and da dogg is running wild, man, at the start he even is a dog! Genius! Basically the plot is that some dudes went and whacked Jimmy Bones back in the day but they never bet on him coming back from the dead. Then business starts to pick up! I liked this film cuz it was pretty moral, with Snoop givin gangstas what they deserve but at the same times you could tell he understood that sometimes people make you do bad and it ain't really yo' fault. Pam Grier is back to doin' what she does best after the blip that was Jackie Brown. My only gripe was the gratuitious nudity but other than that 11 out of 10!!! Roll on the sequel.
