I have to admit I expected the worst when I saw that this film was shot on digital camera and had a budget that was basicly next to nothing, it looks like it cost 5$ to make and yet it was quite impressive. I think that the gore and violence saved this film from being another garbage straight to video gore/horror film. You can tell that this film was made by a bunch of guys who got together and managed to make a gory zombie film just because they were huge horror fans, the storyline was dumb as hell and very laughable but I didn't mind cause I've seen alot worse.
Its about a guy who works as a coroner and who has a friend who's suffering from a degenerative bone disease or something so he provides him with some bone marrow from the grave yard, lots of bad acting follows and then some zombies start to appear.
The gore and make up fx were very good it includes one person's head being split open and his brains being eaten and one of the cops gets his spinal cord ripped out of his a** another scene has someones face being spilt with acid and torn off and other gross out scenes yes the film has a ton of blood and gore almost as much as dead alive or city of the living dead not to mention the disgusting sound fx so make sure you don't eat while watching this film trust me.
you could tell that the director was infleunced by Lucio Fulci and alot of other Italian horror films, the film also has alot of nudity but most of the time it just wasn't that good especially when they show that ugly blond chick taking her clothes off several times lol. Bone Sickness is a very well made low-budget gore flick that would have been made better if it only had a bigger budget but its still good so I deffinetly recommend this.

I can't believe this little movie has finally grown up and gone on to play with the big boys (as its upcoming release shows). Well done to it! I viewed it as a VCD bootleg a year ago now, and it is well worth seeing. Low budget, oh yes. Acting, pretty damn poor. Buckets of blood, definately. Mandatory low budget [..] out scenes, yep. Fantastic last 3 minutes (I watched the ending again and again, I was so taken by it). But please, make no mistake, you're not in for high art, you're not in for middle ground art, you're in for an amateur who loves his stuff and has done what can be done with no money. (Oh, and a word to the filmmaker, the Goblins are just silly!) See it, please, and enjoy it for what it is - a B movie that enjoys being a B movie, and is not afraid to use some gore.

...The first time I found out about this movie was actually through here, while doing a search for horror movies. I read the reviews and they were all bad, so I didn't get the movie. A while back I purchased "Frankenhooker" (great film--check out my review for it), and watched the trailer for "Bone Sickness" and it caugth my attention. I finally gave it a chance and ordered it, and I was not at all disappointed. First off, let me tell you about these bad reviews: they came from people that didn't even finish watching the entire film. Yes, the begining is a little slow, but after 30-40 minutes or so the movie picks up and never stops. Yes it is a low budget movie, but it is well done. There is a tremendously huge amount of blood and gore, plenty of nudity (and no the girls are not ugly as one reviewer mentioned), and a whole lot of zombies. I particularly like the look of the zombies, they are not up there with Fulci zombies, but they look creepy in their own way. The first half of the film is slow paced, the latter half picks up and never stops until it ends. I am amazed at all of the effects accomplished for a low budget flick. This, I will say is one of the best low budget movies I've seen in a while. Certainly better than some of the Troma stuff out there. The DVD is also loaded with extras such as behind the scenes (very cool), commentary, and other stuff. I honestly don't have a clue as to why these other reviewers rated it so low, perhaps they should have finished watching the entire film before they reviewed it. This is a truly unique zombie flick, and a definite must add to any horror collection.

This is one film for people who, put ideas and enthusiasm above big budget eye candy. if you dont mind micro budget films this one really delivers on the gore. I have to hand it to the makers they have created a film that will become a future horror classic with next to no money. so if you are tired of the normal horror stuff that gives tv teens and not much else, or if you are open to low budget film makeing give this one a go its one of the best of its type out there.

Let me start out by saying that I love horror movies, and esp. low budget ones. But this is something else... It's 104 mins. too long. The plot is horrible, the acting is even worse, the filming dreadful. The only thing decent in this is some interesting shots of the moon, and the graveyard. Also, the blonde girl in this, Darya Zabinski, is an absolute knock-out. Some of the reviewers on here are on drugs. Her getting naked was the only good thing in this movie. And usually that's the worst thing about a horror movie. And yes, the gore... tons of it... but believe me it in no way saves this movie. I found myself looking at the clock hoping it would be over soon. Avoid it like the plague...

when I first came across Bone Sickness, I was new to unearthed films. I had only seen Aftermath and Nails, probably a few others. I thought to myself "Wow, this production company knows what its doing! Nothing they produce could be horrible." So, I gave Bone Sickness a shot, and this movie completely proved my opinion on unearthed films wrong. The gore is medicre at best and the plot is horrible, the acting... just everything. I found this movie to be unwatchable and I am very open minded about low-budget, independt movies. But no. Don't waste your time. It isnt even campy its just bad. I feel the same about City f Rott. Animated gore? Hell, they could take that so far! but they don't. its the same zombie being killed for 2 hours and its boring. How the hell do you mess up a cartoon about zombies? The art looks good but it isnt AMAZING. Both of these movies should be lifted from unearthed because its a shame they are produced by the same company that produced Aftermath. Sheesh.

For the people who have rated this movie 'decent' considering the micro-budget of this film, I'm sorry but I have to disagree.
I should preface this review by stating that I really enjoy movies with little or no budget, such as this one, if they are done with some intent to be a reasonable attempt to portray the writers vision. This movie was disappointing even considering the limitations under which it was created.

So, down to brass tacks. The acting is understandably horrible, but its the role that the director himself plays which really kills this whole movie. Something about his perfectly coiffured red mullet, which remains perfect until the imminent blood spray at the end and his "yeah, I cut up corpses and give you the meat" attitude while he fixed his perfect Kentucky waterfall.

Which brings me to another point- This movie is highly confusing. A simple splatter flick would have been much easier to watch than all the rhetoric about necromancy and feeding human remains back to an infected person - who is also so underdeveloped to the point that you just wish he would have died in the first five minutes anyway.

The gore is mostly watery blood, plastic skeletons and Halloween props, meal-worms, some pet scorpions (which had no relevant point or scare factor), and buckets of earthworms which actors constantly spit out of their mouths for some unknown reason... Constantly chewing and spitting earthworms on the floor isn't really gore. The three nude scenes hardly justify sitting through the rest of the movie you would have to endure.

Somehow amongst this less-than-mediocre attempt at a movie there is a car crash where a Buick flips over and explodes. Apparently this is where all the money and effort were wasted in the making of this film.

It ends with a long credit list, mostly consisting of the director's 50 different roles in this movie, and a video recap of all the people you never cared about in the movie to begin with, and an advertisement to buy the album of the death-metal band playing throughout the credits.

Worst I've ever seen... and that's pretty pathetic.

They attempt to tell a story which has so many holes and missing parts to it, that it ruined the entire movie for me. I won't go into the story since it was actually explained alot better in a few sentences in the reviews above then it was in an hour and a half movie. Also the acting was bad, make-up was bad, the sets were bad and the sub-plot with Demons at the end made it worse. A low-budget movie that you couln't even laugh at, now Flesheater was a low-budget movie I laughed at, for example. Not worth your time, but when you have mixed reviews (the reason why I had to see it), I understand if you do.

The best part is the nudity, of course featuring full frontal of porn star Ruby Larocca.

This movie is alright as far as homemade movies go. It is definetly not for the squimish or weak stomachs. There is plenty of blood and other nasty gory stuff. The acting is not the best in the world but its not the worst either.

By the first scenes I thaught,
"Oh no,not another movie from Fangoria-Fans,who rent a camera & buy a make-up
starter kit!"The actor's are lousy and the story is not so famous.
BUT, the movie is rolling on and the gorefest started.The Splatter-fans yell
"HELLO!" when they view some fantastic tricks in this picture.
Okay,let's face the bloody truth.It's no B-Picture,it's an C-Picture,but a
good one!
