Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

BA_Harrison Any film with a rap artist as its star should be approached with caution: for every '8-Mile' (Eminem), there are a dozen 'Lockjaw: Rise of the Kulev Serpent's (DMX). Not that the failure of Bones is the sole fault of its legendary hip-hop star Snoop Dogg (AKA Snoop Doggy Dogg, Snoop Lion, DJ Snoopadelic, Snoopzilla)—even the most talented of thespians couldn't prevent this predictable vengeful ghost story from being a total mess.In addition to a tired and muddled plot that leaves too many questions unanswered (what did that dog have to do with things? why didn't Bones's spirit kill the kids as soon as they entered the house? why wasn't that building demolished like the others?), this film suffers from an irritatingly 'trendy' directorial style and gimmicky editing, awkward humour (were those talking severed heads really necessary?) and totally wastes the talents of both Pam 'Coffy' Grier and horror hottie Katherine Isabelle (in the role of token white girl).Working slightly in the film's favour are its impressive production design, the half-decent gore (the red paint for blood notwithstanding), a few neat visual references to cult horror classics, and some surprisingly good visual effects, but make no bones about it, this is a desperately uneven and not in the least bit scary effort that even avid Snoop fans might want to give a miss.

insomniac_rod I watched this movie under the misleading title "Diabolical Mansion" but what can you expect from 4:00 a.m. local Mexican programming? I decided to watch it but I didn't know it was a Horror movie! I mean, Snoop Dogg stars on it. From the opening sequence where he gets off his car and acts like a pimp you don't expect a revenge from the grave movie.I was surprised and satisfied with the movie's content and violence. True...it isn't scary, violent, or even spooky but it features some interesting sub-plots that deal with revenge and crime. The perfect combination.Please give this movie a try but think that it stars a Rap Star, it deals with a rap soundtrack and the rap scene... It's a treat.Recommended for Late Night Cinema insomniacs like myself. Don't waste your money on it, just wait for it to air on t.v.

whammy666 I rented this movie not expecting much, and that is a good thing because this film is a real stinker. The overall idea is not very original, which is okay. Some gangster named Jimmy Bones died and is coming back for revenge, or something or another. Plot does not really matter for a movie like this, you just watch and try to enjoy the ride. Now, this is not near close to the worst movie I have seen, I have seen far, far, far worse, but it is also quite far from the best movies. My main gripe with this flick may sound dumb but...pink blood? What is that? The pink blood really takes a lot out of it...it makes it more unrealistic (though not realistic to begin with) and just looks...bad. I have seen $5,000 budgeted films with better looking blood! And other than the pink blood, the movie is just stupid and annoying to me. I say avoid, but some may like it. Worth a rent, I guess, if you want to see a cool pool table death......with pink blood.

The_Void Hey, don't you think it's kind of odd that someone would stab themselves in the chest with a flick knife and then bury themselves? If your answer to the above question is "I agree", then you could have been, or may well be part of the team of monkeys that came up with the idea for, wrote and cast this movie. It's a huge shame that stuff like this gets made when there are screenwriters and directors with good ideas and just need some money. Speaking of money, if you want to waste it; Bones is as good a film as any to waste it on. Well, if you like to waste money and you enjoy pain, that is. Bones is notable for one of the most incredible reasons a film can be notable for, and that is that it stars a rapper. The rapper in question is Snoop Dogg (a.k.a. Dogg, Snoopy, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Snoop and just about every other lame variant of the words 'snoop' and 'dogg' that you can come up with). The tired blend of Hellraiser and rubbish movie starring a rapper see Snoop Dogg get to flex his acting muscles, and he proves with his one-note performance in this movie that he is just as adept at the art of acting as he is at the art of music making. If you catch my drift.To be quite frank, despite his best efforts to look cool; Snoopy Doggy Dogg ends up looking like just as much of an idiot as his name suggests he is. I mean seriously, who goes by the name of 'Snoop Dogg' when they don't have to? Aside from it's star, this film has a number of other problems. It's plot is very tired, and it follows the exceedingly boring and familiar tale of someone who was killed being resurrected and then taking their revenge. The tacky dialogue, duff acting and illogical plotting don't help this, and not even the murders can save the film, as it's easy to say that even they manage to score maximum points on the dull scale. I will never forgive the people responsible for this movie for wasting all that time and money on it, when it could have been put to better use. How about giving one of the more experienced directors who could produce something good, if given a budget? I guess that's one of the many problems with things like rap music; if it sells, it will continue to be made.
