Bones
Sigh. I should have known better, but I'm always afraid that if I don't give every movie a chance, I'll miss a gem. That wasn't the case here. I shold have known better when I saw Snoop Dog in a pin suit. I'll start with the good points of the movie. I thought the lighting was very good and helped set the mood well. I really dug the creepy building the story took place in too. My favorite scene was when it began to rain maggots inside. It was a cool effect. The story line was Jimmy Bones was killed by some of his associates early on in a Julius Cesar-like fasion, but he is resurrected decades later to have vengence. The gore was lite, and in a few scenes the blood looked PINK in some scenes. The story was slow and the payoff wasn't very fun. The scenes where Bones killed people were kinda dull, and lackluster. I really didn't feel for any of the character, and their deaths didn't scare me at all. All in all, a boring film worth of a generous 2 out of 5.
