Amazon.co.uk Review

Sleepy-eyed hip-hop luminary Snoop Dogg stars in Bones, an energetic horror film about a hustler who returns from the dead. Jimmy Bones used to rule his street, but now his body lies in the basement of a gothic abandoned house. When a troupe of young DJs and promoters decide to turn the house into a nightclub, dark forces are, unsurprisingly, unleashed. Bones has a cutting sense of humour, and Ernest Dickerson's direction snaps, crackles and pops. It's not exactly subtle--the opening scene launches into gore and special effects--but there is some evocative imagery, particularly a large black hell-hound that the club kids foolishly adopt as a pet. Snoop casts an effectively spectral aura and Pam Grier, as the hustler's psychically gifted former girlfriend, has her usual presence and energy. All in all, a dynamic and enjoyable horror flick. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com

Format:DVD
The film is original in a few ways but it is mostly a jigsaw puzzle of borrowed elements. One can recognize Clive Barker's Hellraiser, or a new episode of Candyman, or an extension of Nightmare on Elm Street, or even Halloween or some Stephen King film. But it is black, black and black again and the hood is always very close, the hood of Boyz in the Hood and its crack and the execution of the little local gang leader by his associates including his protecting cop, and he finally comes back to get his vengeance, get even and recapture all his executioners and their next generation of children, including his own daughter. That does not make a film with a meaning, just some kind of thrilling entertainment, if you like blood and maggots, underground tunnels and skeletons in some kind of cabinet, or is it a cupboard or a closet? A little bit sad in a way because the situation and the theme could have produced a film with some insight in black imagination, in black white-induced schizophrenia, and it does not.

Excellent! 2 Mar 2002
By Brett Heitkam - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This is a very cool Nightmare On Elm Street-esque horror flick that does everything right. Great plot, great acting, Pam Grier, and awesome special effects are just some of the things this movie has going for it. I was on the edge of my seat most of the time, just waiting to see what disturbing imagery was about to be thrown at me next. If you are a fan of old-school Wes Craven, or just the horror genre in general, check this movie out. It's very good. The DVD is PACKED with extra features too...it's very worth it!

It was good 1 Jun 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This movie was good, it would have got 5 stars but the ending was trash. The special effects are good and the story was good and the movie was tight up until the end, where it changed to garbage.

Black Horror Flick Merits 5 Stars! 1 April 2002
By Pamela Jarmon-Wade - Published on Amazon.com
Bones is an african-american horror flick that can stand with any of the all white cast horrors. Bones stars Snoop Dogg, Pam Grier, Khalil Cain and Clifton Powell.

Bones is a tale of betrayal, murder and revenge. It is also a story within a story. The past and present day scenes are mixed together nicely. If the viewer needs a potty break or snack, my advice is to pause the tape...you don't want to miss a single detail.

In 1979, Jimmy Bones (Snoop Dogg) was a well respected hoodlum for lack of a better title, who loved and protected his black community. Other street hustlers wanted to bring crack into the hood and Jimmy Bones did not approve. He is brutally murdered in front of his woman (Pam Grier), body guard and childhood buddy.

Present day has some young buppies from the suburbs purchasing property in the ghetto/hood so that they can open a club as a business venture. They want to show themselves approved to their successful father. After purchasing the run down brownstone that belonged to Jimmy Bones, the terror is unleashed! Prepare yourself for thrills, chills, terror, bloody murder scenes and lots of screams with a bit of humor added in the most unlikely spots. As the story merges 1979 and present day (twenty plus years later) you will know that this should be a classic and wonder why it did not get as much recognition as it should have at the box office.

For those old school viewers...the writer's inspiration must have been the 1970s horror flick J.D.'s Revenge.
