The effects are corny as all hell, a lot of the acting is kinda wonky, but somehow I liked it? Maybe it'#39;s because I have a weird soft spot for Snoop Dogg, maybe it'#39;s because I love ghost/revenge movies. The plot'#39;s actually pretty solid, in my opinion, and despite it'#39;s obvious flaws, it'#39;s pretty watchable.
Snoop Dogg is not a great actor, nor a good one, and probably not even a mediocre one. And yet he has enough charisma to pull it off in a movie like “Bones,” especially as the role of gangster Jimmy Bones is tailor-made for him, and he was obviously eager to play it. Another plus point for me is that director Ernest R. Dickerson came up with some creative ideas, and some of the effects are really well done. And I always enjoy seeing Katharine Isabelle. However, the look of the movie isn't exactly pretty in some places, and it also exudes a bit of a trash vibe. And especially in the middle, it has a few lengths. But I was expecting a much worse movie and was pleasantly surprised overall.
If the blood looked more realistic this would’ve been legit, Still enjoyed it though.

Dan_Tebasco ★★★★ The best 'hip hop horror' out there, and yes there are actually quite a few. But I think that this one can be liked by fans that aren't big fans of hip hop either because it boasts of such great quality and director Ernest Dickerson definitly knows his horrors with plenty of homages to old Italian horror, as well as serving as sort of a NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET in an urban setting. Snoop Dogg plays the 'boogeyman' and he does so really well, it was written with Snoop Dogg in mind so it works really well. Never aging Khalil Kain has one of the leads, he was also one of the leads in Dickerson's 1992 movie JUICE starring Kain, as well as Tupac Shakur and Omar Epps. 'Scream Queen' Katherine Isabelle plays his sister, and yeah overall not a whole lot to complain about. It certainly is a whole lot better than the IMDb rating would suggest.
