this movie has a lot of old ideas all mixed into one, yet it doesn't look messy, several teen agers try and open a night club, on "holy ground" without noticing, one of the teenagers finds a girl but her mother is the local "crazy person" they ignore her about this but it was a bad move, when the club is up and running the fun begins, from maggots to wall of dead, its a fun thrill ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat. This movie wasn't one that was supposed to be taken serious, it has snoop dogg so if you came for a serious movie then you are pretty much crazy... It Is a lot of fun to watch, it has a a lot of funny moments, a few sad moments a few scary moments and even some dramatic moments but the main point of the film is to entertain, people are really hard on this film because they expected a masterpiece but if you just want to have a fun time enjoying a movie then this one should do!

I don't think I have ever seen such a terrible movie in my life. Every bit of this movie is horribly acted and well predictable. Who ever gave this movie higher than 2* is an ignorant child, there is absolutely nothing interesting about this movie, except for the gore of course. I don't think that even the most die harder than hard gore fan would be too keen on this waste of film. Mr.Dogg is an ignoramus that does not deserve to be given the privilege of directing, writing, casting etc. If you are smart, you will avoid this movie completely. Save your money, don't rent, buy, or even watch online.May god help us, thank the lord this movie was made in 2001, and our taste in horror has increased, if you are truly dying to watch a popcorn movie on a late Friday night with the friends, then do yourself a favor and rent 'Valentine', the acting is less bad and the storyline can be accepted. But if you do rent this, I guarantee your wonderful Friday night with your friends and popcorn will go to hell, and they'll leave blaming you.Good day.

Jimmy Bones (Snoop Dogg) is a business man, who was well respect in the urban neighborhood of Chicago in the 1970's until he mysterious disappear without a trace. Now over twenty years, Bones' house was turned into a Gothic ruined. His spirit still lives on in the neighborhood in the body of a black evil dog! When a group of middle-aged kids (Khalil Kain, Merwin Mondesir, Sean Amsing & Katherine Isabelle) decides to buy Bones' home and turned into a dance-night club. But these four friends are experiencing something odd and as well meeting local people (Pam Grier, Bianca Lawson and Ron Selmour) knows that house isn't what it appears to be and especially they have deep dark secrets, they are not telling. But more trouble are starting, when one of kids father (Clifton Powell) discover that his son bought that house. The father isn't happy as well, along with an corrupted police detective (Michael T. Weiss) and a low-life Drug Dealer (Ricky Harris) do have something to do with Bones' disappearance. While the spirit of Bones is planning to come back in the real world and having his revenge.Directed by Ernest R. Dickerson (Bulletproof, Never Die Alone, Surviving the Game) made an enjoyable Gothic supernatural horror movie with an refreshing sense of humour. Although this film was an Box Office BOMB, when it came out in the fall of 2001. Dickerson's visual style recaptures some of the Italian's Horror Movies of the 1970's and as well for the some of the soul of the Blaxploitation films. But after the two/thirds of the movie. It becomes an mess, when Bones finally is back on the real world and the picture does have an unsatisfying conclusion. But "Bones" does have its fair share of campy humour, Dogg does have an strong presence in the movie as well for Dawson and especially Grier do look good in the movie. Good performances and Style over Subtance does makes this enjoyable mess, worth a look. A must see to capture Dickerson's visual style in Widescreen. Which it's a must on DVD. Written by Adam Simon (The American Nightmare, Brain Dead, Carnosaur) and Tim Metcalfe (Fright Night Part 2, Kalifornia, Revenge of the Nerds). Super 35. (*** ½/*****).

I've read the other comment referring to Snoop Doggs'horror film, Bones....When this first came out it was my favourite horror film but I watched it that many times that it lost its' lustre.The effects are great and plenty of blood and some gore from the outset. The beginning sets the tone for the rest of the film as it's one of those films that you just NEED to get to the bottom of why it is happening and what actually took place to cause it. It all unfolds at a pace enough to keep your interest as a viewer. This film is still a very watchable and enjoyable film in my opinion, even today. It was nice to see Snoop in something different and anyone that is a Snoop Fan will enjoy this film all the more.....7 out of 10.
