Summary: Cutting to the Bone
Review: ... If you like horror films (with gore and gross out moments)and you're a Snoop Dogg fan, then you'll probably enjoy Bones. Since, I am both these things, I did enjoy it. I don't think the plot was thin, but I think some things could have been clarified. The ending kind of lost me. ... I thought it was cool how humor was injected into the story. C'mon with all the cliches doing a haunted house story invites, how can you possibly take yourself too seriously? All in all, I really got a kick out of it. It was way better than a Vampire in Brooklyn (Man, I'm still crying about that one.), so I don't think it's the worst horror film I ever spent money on, not by a long shot.

Summary: Bones Is A Real Dog
Review: After being relegated to menial roles in two of this year's best pre-awards season sleepers, Training Day & Baby Boy, I was hoping that Bones would offer Snoop Dogg his first substantial part, that one that would catapult him into film superstardom. But, no such luck. Instead he's pushed it into the background while actors of substatially less talent and charisma take the forefront. The exception of which being Pam Grier, who in her limited screen time chews on the scenery as she seems to be having a blast playing off her Foxy Brown/Coffey image.She plays a psychic whose daughter gets involved with a teenage entrepreneur renovating the former home of benevolent gangster Jimmy Bones (Snoop), who thirty years prior was betrayed and killed by his partner with the help of a corrupt cop. Their story is told in flashbacks and it's an interesting one at that, but it's the present day story, as the film mlingers about trying to build suspense that the movie really falls flat. For the first two thirds we cut back and forth as it's revealed that Bones was killed after refusing to help the police distribute drugs in his neighborhood (it's not as far-fetched as it sounds). And after his death it becomes a hotbed for illegal activity, a ghetto where rich, white prepschool kids go to score their fix. But don't read too much into this, Bones isn't as interested in social commentary as it is cheap yuks and manufactured boos. If you last beyond the maggot bath that befalls the Bones home, this after it's been transformed into an urban disco, there are a few suprising treats as Jimmy raises from his tomb to avenge his death and just generally wreck havoc. Still, after a few snappy one-liners and a moderately funny bit about a talking severed head we're led down a gruesome, implausible path brimming with cheesy special effects and a bearly there plot that seems to have been lifted from one of the poorer installments in the Nightmare on Elm Street series.

Review: Besides seeing the beautiful and voluptuous Pamela Anne-Cassandra Grier I wouldn't recommend this movie. Ms. Grier and Snoop look like they are the only ones trying. Get it only if your a big fan of Snoop, Pam Grier, or that dude that Tupac shot in Juice. (review is to be read in low, non-threating monotone)

Summary: Decent B movie
Review: Bones is a low budget b horror flick with some nice touches. Snoop Dogg does a good job in the title role and is an actor I would like to see more of. He's done some nice work in small parts in movies like Baby Boy and Training Day and despite playing the title role, he isn't in this all that much. There are a bunch of young actors who star in this who give it a Scooby Doo vibe that is very uncool. There should have been more retro scenes of 70's era Jimmy Bones ruling the streets like the Mack Daddy that his character was supposed to be. It is a treat though to see Snoop and Blaxploitation icon Pam Grier together in the same movie. All in all, not a bad cheesey horror flick but the blood is unusually phony looking, like thick red paint.
The movie is well paced and flies right by like the painless timekiller that it is.

Summary: Black Horror Flick Merits 5 Stars!
Review: Bones is an african-american horror flick that can stand with any of the all white cast horrors. Bones stars Snoop Dogg, Pam Grier, Khalil Cain and Clifton Powell. Bones is a tale of betrayal, murder and revenge. It is also a story within a story. The past and present day scenes are mixed together nicely. If the viewer needs a potty break or snack, my advice is to pause the tape...you don't want to miss a single detail. In 1979, Jimmy Bones (Snoop Dogg) was a well respected hoodlum for lack of a better title, who loved and protected his black community. Other street hustlers wanted to bring crack into the hood and Jimmy Bones did not approve. He is brutally murdered in front of his woman (Pam Grier), body guard and childhood buddy. Present day has some young buppies from the suburbs purchasing property in the ghetto/hood so that they can open a club as a business venture. They want to show themselves approved to their successful father. After purchasing the run down brownstone that belonged to Jimmy Bones, the terror is unleashed! Prepare yourself for thrills, chills, terror, bloody murder scenes and lots of screams with a bit of humor added in the most unlikely spots. As the story merges 1979 and present day (twenty plus years later) you will know that this should be a classic and wonder why it did not get as much recognition as it should have at the box office. For those old school viewers...the writer's inspiration must have been the 1970s horror flick J.D.'s Revenge.

Summary: THIS MOVIE IS A PILE OF CRAP!!!
Review: Bones ranks amongst the worst and stupidest movies I have ever seen period.I cant see why anybody with good taste in movies would waste good money on this sorry ass movie.The front cover of the movie should automatically tell you that it's crap.And snoop dogg as the star actor should absolutely confirm to you of it's worthlessness.The plot is so simple and dumb that I wouldnt be surprised if snoop's son wrote it.The acting is horrible and the comedy is very lame.PLEASE DONT BUY THIS GARBAGE!!!

Summary: B O N E S
Review: BONES stars rap artist Snoop Doggy Dogg as a gangster from the 1970's who comes back from the dead to punish the people who betrayed him and who are responsible for his death. The cast includes sexy actress Bianca Lawson and Pam Grier, the special effects in the film are above average, and the script has many plotlines running through it. I saw this movie on Halloween night and it was much better than I expected. BONES is a hip, edgy thriller that has horror, suspense, drama, and even a little bit of romance. Snoop Dogg pulls it off as a good guy gone bad when he comes back from the dead!

Summary: Bones
Review: Bones What can I say about it? I tried to enjoy it I really did. I want to say it was a good movie. But at the same time there were parts of it that were so bad I seriously wondered if they were trying to be funny. Snoop dogg easily carried the movie. He seemed to enjoy playing the part the idea and the actual character were very cool I liked the idea of a powerful figure who gets killed and comes back to life and when he does it's quite cool. But it's not scary, not very good and sometimes just not very fun. I didn't hate it so I can't say I don't recommend it. But it's like the 1st two Wishmaster movies the idea is good but the movie itself sucks. With the acceptation of a few good visuals it just bites in the end. Bones I recommend if you want two hours to kill and don't want a horribly bad horror movie. This movie isn't bad but it the way it's done simply sucks. Zombie Claus

Summary: Freddy in the hood, the black Elm Street!!!
Review: Doesn't anyone get the joke? This movie is funny and scary at the same time. I must say that I somewhat enjoyed the film. I bought it so that I can watch it every Halloween.
A pimp (Snoop Dogg) is murdered and comes back a few decades later to kill the people who wronged him, oh, and their children too. This is like Freddy Kruger in the hood. The black Elm Street.
The film's special effects are pretty believable and the directing was pretty good. Snoop is wonderful as the title role and he just seems as if he's having so much fun with the role. For fans of the horror genre I suggest you check this out. It's better than you think it will be.
