I didn't like this movie at all, It was stupid! The way he was carrying around those guys heads! and they were talking, it was just ridiculous, to be honest the only reason I watched the movie all the way through was because of Katharine Isabelle, I wanted to see her in it. but I didn't like it at all. and the "blood" in the film, you could tell it was red paint, I mean they didn't even try to get a good color to look more like actuall blood...

  A sly mix of haunted house melodrama, slasher pic mayhem and retro-blaxploitation iconography, spiced with dollops of grisly, dark comedy.

  Snoop invests snarling meanness with as much authority as Clint Eastwood used to. As an actor, does this Dogg know any more tricks? At this point, he may not have to.

  In exalting the very worst of humanity, Bones displays a special glee and an unusual density of scary imagery.

  Director Ernest Dickerson uses elegant visuals, suspenseful editing and lighting to give Bones its edge.

  The rapper-ever-increasingly-turned actor -- is having the time of his life, big pimp styling in a flashy wardrobe as he guts and struts.

  With his spidery fingers and his velvet eyes, the lean, languid Snoop Dogg was born to be an undead player, and clearly relishes the role of Jimmy Bones.

  Too much of Bones feels transplanted from genre staples like "Hellraiser," "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Evil Dead."

  You'll laugh at Bones a lot more often than you'll be scared by it, assuming you'll be scared at all.

  A ghetto horror movie that sets up some decent scares before becoming so amused with itself, it's a wonder we don't hear the crew laughing.

  Dogg has the makings of a genuinely great actor. When he's on screen the film crackles, and even when he's not it's a trippy, funhouse ride.

  If grossness gives you the giggles, at least a couple of the movie's effects indeed put a little "wow" in this cinematic bowwow.

  Director Ernest -- doesn't skimp on style in a film that bluntly exploits social conscience to pump up its taste for gore.

  Full of fits and starts, it never really gets going, stalling at every turn without even giving us enough of what we paid to see -- Snoop Dogg and gore.

  The movie is over the top and garish. Its transitions often are sloppy and crude. But it brandishes its excesses like a loud, retro suit.
