Leave your thoughts about Bones.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA gruesome, gloppy, goofy but perversely amusing shlockfest that will probably appeal to young audiences looking for a Halloween date flick. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceOn whole, the film is an incoherent mess. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanSnoop 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. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonA sly mix of haunted house melodrama, slasher pic mayhem and retro-blaxploitation iconography, spiced with dollops of grisly, dark comedy. |
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardWith 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. |
| Miami HeraldChris HewittDirector Ernest Dickerson uses elegant visuals, suspenseful editing and lighting to give Bones its edge. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyTyler HanleyInteresting characters and witty dialogue are overshadowed by predictable gore and an overblown climax. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Classier, handsomer and smarter than you'd expect. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovDogg 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. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrA 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. |
