Bones Reviews
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 19, 2002
May be pure trash, but it's trash made with the kind of oozy psychedelic zest that powered a movie like A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
| Original Score: B | Dec 6, 2001
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 10, 2001
A mangy and ungainly movie, a cluttered and uncreepy assembly of stale clichs, telegraphed scares and low-rent effects.
| Nov 9, 2001
A grotesquely uneven schlockfest with large doses of bad writing and bad acting amid the delicious moments.
| Oct 31, 2001
Splits the difference between horror and social commentary, with pallid returns.
| Oct 30, 2001
Made with sufficient skill to produce a few shivers. Just as important, it contains enough self-mocking humor to earn a few laughs.

With his smooth-as-smoke voice and street-strutting panache, Dogg has the makings of a genuinely great actor.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 28, 2001
Too much of Bones feels transplanted from genre staples like Hellraiser.

To point out little flaws in this one would be like looking at a demolished car and complaining that the taillight doesn't work.
| Original Score: 0/4 | Oct 25, 2001
If grossness gives you the giggles, at least a couple of the movie's effects indeed put a little 'wow' in this cinematic bowwow.
| Oct 24, 2001
A silly, boring supernatural thriller that squanders a potentially interesting premise.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 24, 2001
A garish, grotesque slab of silliness drowned in bloody visual effects overkill with an end result that is more horrible than horrific.

Dickerson stays true to the tradition in the film's last third, which turns seriously stupid, and finally outright comic.
| Oct 24, 2001
Too earthbound to get anywhere near terror.

Bones is a ghetto fabulous blaxploitation freak show that will surely swish over people's heads.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 24, 2001
In exalting the very worst of humanity, Bones displays a special glee and an unusual density of scary imagery.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 24, 2001
Spends so much time trying to impress us with its roaming camera and wispy, digitalized specters that it forgets to be even a teensy bit scary.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 23, 2001
Its transitions often are sloppy and crude. But it brandishes its excesses like a loud, retro suit.
