Jimmy Bones ran the streets of the local town back in the '70's, until he was killed by his friends due to his unwillingness to bring cocaine to his hometown. His murderers buried his body in the basement of his house, and now, in the present time, a group of DJ's buy the house to turn it into a club. Unbeknownst to them, Bones is back in the form of a huge black dog, which the girl with the DJ's befriends and tags it along with them. As the dog eats more and more raw meat, Bones' skeleton in the basement gets more and more flesh, until he can finally come back to life and get revenge on those who killed him.

For a teen screamer kind of flick, this movie wasn't as bad as I would have expected it to be. It had a lot of laughs tossed in throughout, and some great lines from Snoop. Since Snoop plays a gangsta pimp, the part really isn't too much of a stretch for him, and he does good enough in his role. Maurice (the gangster of love), Cynthia, and Pearl are also pretty nice in their roles, but the rest of the cast didn't quite cut the proverbial mustard. The gore and kill methods were abundant, but the blood itself was a bit fucked up; it didn't quite look right, almost as if they had put too much pink into the blood mix in some scenes, and made it overly bright red in others.

One more thing that bugged me, was all the inside Snoop Dogg jokes. While a wink-wink or hint-hint toward his rap career is acceptable, almost expected, there's way too much of this here, and quite a few of them have no place in the movie; they seem overly out of place and not decently worked into the current storyline. With all that said, however, the movie was decently enjoyable, though nothing memorable. Worth a rental if your local video store has a two-for-one deal going or something. 5/10.

Before I even saw "Bones", I knew it would go down as one of the worst horror films I had ever seen. Even though Snoop Dogg did far better than I would have ever thought, it still went down as one of the worst horror films I have ever seen. It could have been handled far better than it was, and they went for more retro than they did horror. 1/10.
