Bones is an urban Gothic horror flick starring Snoop Dogg and Pam Grier . Snoop is Jimmy Bones , a supercool gangster that also looks out for his community . When his homies sell out and snuff out Bones to make money selling crack , the neighborhood dies off with him. Bones not resting in peace comes back for revenge and to see his lady ( Pam Grier ). The flashback scenes from 1979 are very much a nod to the blaxploitation era that Grier was undisputed queen of . However , this is a horror film and has great atmosphere ,gore and creepy stuff in addition to the coolness of Snoop and Grier . Most of the f/x are practical and for the most part look good . The film is'nt perfect , but lower budget horror is much like pizza . It needs cheese, Bones has more than enough to go around . Bones is to Gothic horror what Tales From The Hood was to Tales From The Crypt. So, if you are down with that give Bones a shot. It is much better than the haters suggest.

The entire concept is great. This movie in no way is horrible, but its not actually a movie in the first place. Instead, it's more of a comedy. It follows along the lines of Snoop Dog entering a room, his adversary saying the cliché of, "no! I'm sorry!," or, "Bones!" (shocked expression). I have got to say that Bones is first-rate comedy. It would be what Troll 2 would have been like if Busta Rhymes and Ice-T were cast.I ask you, however, what is greater than the concept of Evil Snoop Dogg coming back to earth to feast on human flesh, and wreak vengeance on those who betrayed him. Sure, it's been done in 50% of movies, but at least watch it for its absolute corniness.By the way, when Snoop was floating across the room with those eyes, I was rolling on the floor. I didn't see the ending, but it probably involves Snoop Dogg unleashing his rap zombies on the world, and feasting on the living, ending Civilization once and for all.

All in all i thought this movie was hilarious. Yes the story line was good, but the movie itself sucked. The actors didn't do a god job & the special effects were awful.However, I found this movie really funny. The movie is so poorly done that what was meant to be a horror flick had become a comedy(maybe not laugh out loud, but still funny). In one scene, the characters find blood, which is clearly neon-red paint(hence the bad special effects). I do think that Sean Amsting(the gangsta of love) did a good job. Though he did add to the comical part of the movie.So, the movie sucks so much that i found it funny. I watch it every time i need a good laugh, you should too.

Hey, don't you think it's kind of odd that someone would stab themselves in the chest with a flick knife and then bury themselves? If your answer to the above question is "I agree", then you could have been, or may well be part of the team of monkeys that came up with the idea for, wrote and cast this movie. It's a huge shame that stuff like this gets made when there are screenwriters and directors with good ideas and just need some money. Speaking of money, if you want to waste it; Bones is as good a film as any to waste it on. Well, if you like to waste money and you enjoy pain, that is. Bones is notable for one of the most incredible reasons a film can be notable for, and that is that it stars a rapper. The rapper in question is Snoop Dogg (a.k.a. Dogg, Snoopy, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Snoop and just about every other lame variant of the words 'snoop' and 'dogg' that you can come up with). The tired blend of Hellraiser and rubbish movie starring a rapper see Snoop Dogg get to flex his acting muscles, and he proves with his one-note performance in this movie that he is just as adept at the art of acting as he is at the art of music making. If you catch my drift.To be quite frank, despite his best efforts to look cool; Snoopy Doggy Dogg ends up looking like just as much of an idiot as his name suggests he is. I mean seriously, who goes by the name of 'Snoop Dogg' when they don't have to? Aside from it's star, this film has a number of other problems. It's plot is very tired, and it follows the exceedingly boring and familiar tale of someone who was killed being resurrected and then taking their revenge. The tacky dialogue, duff acting and illogical plotting don't help this, and not even the murders can save the film, as it's easy to say that even they manage to score maximum points on the dull scale. I will never forgive the people responsible for this movie for wasting all that time and money on it, when it could have been put to better use. How about giving one of the more experienced directors who could produce something good, if given a budget? I guess that's one of the many problems with things like rap music; if it sells, it will continue to be made.
