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 humor, 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 hellhound 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

4.0 out of 5 stars It was good, May 31, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Bones (New Line Platinum Series) (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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Snoop was good, June 11, 2003

By	J. Thompson (Pittsburgh) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bones (New Line Platinum Series) (DVD)

This movie wasn't that good. Snoop's character was good but most of the movie was actually kind of stupid. There were a lot of scenes that made me say "Oh my God that's so dumb" but there were also a few scenes that I thought were pretty cool. There was a lot of blood and gore in this movie, that's really the only thing that kept me interested. This is the kind of movie you watch once, not worth buying. Rent this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars I Feelt this movie could have been better!!!, March 16, 2002

By	Marcus Hinton (Niederkirchen Deutschland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bones (New Line Platinum Series) (DVD)

I've seen Snoop Dogg in a lot of movies and to tell you the truth he's probabley the worste actor I have ever seen, BUT in this film he did a great job of acting... it's as if he took acting classes. The movie was ok but not worth buying or adding to your DVD collection. The Plot was good but they didn't use it correctley... they could have done so much more, especially for the ending which just, how should i put it... [STUNK]! the blood in the movie looked more like paint instead of real blood and there was a lot of paint in this movie. It had some spooky parts in it and the killing scene were really good until it started to come close to the end, the killing scenes ended up to be more ridiculouse than anything else!! Some thought the movie was great i thought it was ok and i recommend Bones for renting but not for buying!!!!
