Knucklebones

If you're about to watch this movie, you should put behind the logic of the ghostly thoughts you have. It's a predictable movie with a common plot of 'friends having fun a abandoned pretty place'; which doesn't work out as the way they planned.

After watching the movie i myself think that much could have been done to make the movie thrilling, story wasn't good, but, you can't do much with a skeleton ghost. Acting was Okay, Tom Zembrod (The Knucklebone) did good, cinematography was mediocre. Watchable if you don't have anything to do. Good that they didn't decide to longer the plot more, it could have been a nightmare then. Good twist in the end i may say.

Okay so the first half of this movie is frankly terrible. It is just a whole lot of exposition, alongside completely unnecessarily gratuitous shots of young women in skimpy clothes. The dialogue is awful, the background is unnecesary and long and boring and by the time you get half way through you may want to turn the movie off.

The second half though is great! Once the demon actually comes it turns into a riotous slasher movie which is as fun as it is gory. The deaths are good, the demon is sort of funny and it has all the right ingredients for a very good b movie.

I would suggest just fast forward until they are summoning the demon and watch that half of the movie.

By seeing adds like, forget Jason or forget Michael or this is a new killer that you will never forget I gave it a try. After decades of watching horrors I do know that such adds mostly predict a terrible flick.

So what do we have here, terrible acting, an unconvincing killer and of course the kind of horrors that like to attract the men. Just face it, it's full of voluptuous girls wearing tees who are on the small size to extract their juggs. And with cleavage. And not only that, let's put on daisy dukes. really, it's not because you have juggs who are acting that it makes a flick. Of course the production found a girl who had to reveal her body and she does but hey, she's f*cking but still has her thong on! And there's also a shot were a girl is bending over to have a stick entering her, well you can guess it.

No, this isn't an interesting flick. Most of the effects are done off-camera. Some do work out fine and some doesn't. But most of the time the only thing you are watching are the girls. For teens this is a must see but for geeks like me it's ridiculous and never got my attention and you will have to wait halfway the flick before the horror comes in...

Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

What is nowadays that films always have to have sex in them but do people honestly think that people want to see people riding on screen I mean come.e on get real if you are going to make a horror do a horror instead of sex

In my opinion if you don't want to do yourself a mental mischief the best way to view Knucklebones is as a comedy of errors.

Casting aside the predictable "B" grade credentials of this film, its inability, in my view, to actually settle on a simple core concept and stick to it, is the main reason its such a mess.

This flick constantly oscillates between vaguely formulated, uninspiring ideas. Its as if the whole thing tries far too hard, to be interesting and original. It would have been better off, I feel, basking in its "B" grade glory and just sticking with a simpler slasher flick premise.

The acting is OK, there's a little black humour, thats not too dreadful and there are a few "jump scares" but thats all I can find that's positive to say here. Four out of ten from me.
