PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

lee-todman I can see this movie has had a lot of bad reviews but I must admit it beats the crap out of some of the horrors / thrillers I've seen lately. The acting is very good, the location was excellent and the background music was brilliant. So what if there weren't enough killing scenes, the attack scenes that were shown were excellent and the special effects were top class. I thought the bodies they found peeled to the bone quite interesting and original. This is not a boring movie, in fact the characters can keep you entertained. I would recommend this movie to anybody who is looking for some entertainment on a night off or if you are a frequent movie watcher.

Coventry "The Bone Snatcher" starts out extremely promising, with the introduction of a new and original type of unseen evil as well as with the use of the sublimely isolated filming location of the African desert. Whilst checking pipelines out in the desert, three miners are attacked and killed by a seemingly unworldly creature that devours their flesh and only leaves a pile of half-eaten bones. The expedition crew sent to rescue them discovers that the monster is a superiorly mutated ant-queen, and pretty soon they find themselves trapped in the uncanny desert as well. Director Jason Wulfsohn sustains a respectable level of tension just until the nature of the monster is identified. Immediately after that, the film rapidly turns into an ordinary creature-feature with all the characters dropping out of the survival-race one by one. The second half of "The Bone Snatcher" is unendurably boring; with the inevitable love-story clichés as well as a complete absence of gory murder set pieces. The characters all are insufferable stereotypes that act and say exactly what you predict several minutes in advance. There's the rookie who has to prove himself, the female with brain-capacity apart from her hot looks, the obnoxious experienced guy who redeems himself at the end through self-sacrifice and – last but not least – who could forget the wise black guy who refers to the monster using all kind of voodoo names. Wulfsohn tries too hard to make his monster look like the outer space menaces of "Alien" and "Predator". The ant-creature has infrared-vision and crumbles when shot at, yawn! The movie actually just benefits from its unique setting and the handful of nasty images of decomposed bodies. This could have been a modest gem, but instead it's less than mediocre. Avoid.

bunnynubs A good suspense chiller. Four prospectors who had disappeared in the desert have been found with their flesh stripped and bones scattered. A lab scientist and a team go to try to solve the mystery. They find a strange rock dome but no clues to what caused the massacre. They then find they are being hunted by millions of unstoppable creatures capable of devouring their flesh! Special effects were reasonable - but could have been enhanced and used more. B Movie, good location, moderate chills and thrills. One thing that can hold your interest in this movie is Mikki. Rachel Shelley is well cast, and superb. Watching her strut her stuff in combats is reason enough to watch this movie again,and again and......
