Of course I wasn't expecting much good from this movie but I still didn't expected it to be as horrible as it turned out to be.Basically everything about this movie disappoints. It's an obvious cheaply made and fast put together, that fails to impress or even entertain. You would at least expect from a zombie movie that it's being somewhat remotely entertaining and features some decent gore as well. But no, for the fans of the genre there are hardly any redeeming qualities in this movie.It's not really a movie in which an awful lot is happening. It's one of those horror movies that is being set at mostly just one location (for budget reasons obviously) and you're constantly waiting for the movie to finally start to take off. It's not because of the lacking script that not anything or interesting is ever happening but also really due to the lacking directing from debuting James Cummins. This guy doesn't know when to say 'cut' it seems. Some sequences needlessly drag on and take away any of the movie its effects that it potentially still could have had.I started to loose interest in this movie really fast. It also didn't had any really compelling or interesting character in it, that you could feel for. Not even the zombie/horror moments could spice up things, mainly because there were far too few moments like that and half of the time I couldn't even understand what was happening on the screen. I also still don't understand what its story was all about and how some of the corpses came back to live but perhaps I simply wasn't paying attention enough, since the movie failed to keep me interested.What makes the movie all the more annoying and bad to watch is its acting. The movie stars a whole bunch of people that only starred in an handful of movies and never made it big time, with the exception of some of the supporting characters. Of course a lot of their lacking acting performances can be brought back to its bad writing but I also doubt a the same time they would had pulled things off any better with a different script.But if I have to mention one good things about this movie I would be the puppets. I liked that they mostly went with this approach, rather than using just make-up effects. Puppets can often be creepy looking, far more so than any make-up or computer effects can ever achieve.A movie that really isn't worth your time.3/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Detective Jersey Callum (Ed Nelson) and his dimwit partner Gordon (Jim Eustermann) coax troubled 300 lb. psychic Alley Oates (Deborah Rose) out of retirement when a series of unexplained homicides start adding up. Clues lead the trio to a mortuary one night where the dead bodies of three Asian children are resurrected into slime-spewing ghouls who trap the principal characters in the basement and go on a gory killing/possession spree.After a slowwwww start (and a "huh?" flashback that is SUPPOSED to explain things), this really picks up and becomes a nifty little horror comedy with a good sense of humor, attempts at characterization and some surprisingly cool comic book-style FX (like a giant mutant poodle!). Good supporting roles for veteran character actors Nelson, Norman Fell (as a mortician with a ponytail) and Phyllis Diller (as the cranky night desk clerk who transforms into a creature that will make your eyes pop out of your head!). The director also scripted and did the FX for this fun feature.

~Spoiler~ The Boneyard is one part good, one part very bad. Two cops solicit the help of a 300 pound psychic to help solve a case involving an Oriental mortician and his curse. That's the beginning of the plot. When our cast of characters enter the morgue (aka "the boneyard") the movie picks up. That's when flesh-eating kids come out of the woodwork and madcap mayhem ensues. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't go all out and recommend it to anyone. There is one super-atmospheric shot in the hallway during the zombie children's first appearance that immediately sent a chill down my spine. While on the subject, the zombie kids are damn creepy and are sporting some great make-up. They're not your run of the mill walking dead. On the other hand, there are a lot of problems with the film too. Some parts are played too serious, while others are overly comedic and unrealistic. I do, however, love that giant poodle. That and the zombiefied Ms. Poopinplatz reminded me very much of Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. Overall, I'd call the flick a miss. It had potential but the acting is not good and the movie never finds an even tone. It doesn't know if it wants to be a fright-fest or a comedy. The Boneyard is worth a rent just to see the zombies and a wigless Phyllis Diller. Don't expect too much beyond that.

When I saw the first 40 or so minutes of the Boneyard, I was delighted, because it was very scary. The little-girl zombies were frightening, and it had a great Aliens 3-like atmosphere. Unfortunately, the film really goes downhill after the half-way point, with the huge mutant poodle being the worst of it.I'd recommend the first half for some really good scares and tension, but the second half really ruined it all for me.
