El perverso doctor Bones

This is not an oscar contender nor will it be a big hit at cannes but if you enjoy watching people have fun this is the movie for you. Larry Bates plays the band manager Jamal who leads the crusade against evil hip hop promoter Dr. Bones. True it looks like it was filmed on my grandfathers camcorder but the fact that this film doesnt take itself too seriosly adds to its charm. A worthy rental if youve got two hours (and some zombies) to kill!

Back when I was in college, instead of going to parties or trying to be "popular", my roommate and I watched a lot of movies.

Midway through the year, we would run out of movies we had actually heard of, and instead began to rent the most horrible looking films we could find (that is how we found Altered States). And It's how we came across the Horrible Doctor Bones.

It's been a few years, but recalling the movie and the plot (heh, heh), I remember some white-boy rapping, an absolutely terrible story, and the longest torso on Dr. Bones that you will ever see on a human. Normally, I am not the best judge of acting talent. For example, I really can't tell the difference in acting between Tom Hanks and Colin Hanks, besides one is quite a bit sexier.

If you are looking for some unintentional comedy, you have found the right movie.

1/10

This is a morality tale about naive bandmates, tempted by a music mogul promising to make all their dreams come true. Since this is a horror movie, you already know there's a catch. A decent script, strong performances by supporting actress Sara Scott and leads Larry Bates and Darrow Igus, and a different take on Haitian zombie mythology make this an entertaining, if not exceptional, experience.

I admit I was hooked on this movie immediately, and it held my attention for most of its run-time. The pace is slow but it didn't drag--I attribute this, in part, to Igus's gravity, and also to Sara Scott's acting chops and beauty. Igus isn't required to demonstrate great range in this role, but he's very effective as the antagonist.

As stated earlier, the writing, for the most part, is capable, with the exception of the denoument, which feels rushed and unearned. Moreover, it's not clear that anyone learned what they needed to. The special effects and creature make-up are not very good, but I was into the story and leads enough to overlook those details.

Full Moon loves their morality tales. Unlike some of the other movies they've done, this one doesn't rise above the generic expectations, but it does meet them most of the time. It's not a movie I would tell you to seek out, but as I said, I enjoyed it.

Horrible! Awful! Vile! Ghastly! Terrible! And that's the movie, not the title charactor.

The good doctor it seems is a voodoo priest with a private collection of undead zombies. But he has grown tired of just being able to control the dead. Now he plans to enslave the living as well. And he's got a plan to just that!

With the aid of two technical experts, a hip hip band and his own mystical chanting, Doc Bones hopes to turn the worlds population into mind controlled living zombies.

He need not have bothered. By the time his evil scheme is put into motion, the audience has had their collective brains fried by the intense boredom the film generates.

Okay, i was at my local video store to rent some movies when I came across a tape. I looked at the cover and it showed a scary ugly man and the title said "The Horrible Dr. Bones". The cover looked good and I read the back and it sounded like and interesting film. So I rent it for two dollars. I watched from beginning to end and I was very disappointed! It was like the worst film I ever seen in my entire life! I wasted several minutes of my life! The effects are just plain terrible and fake! The effects look like rubber plastic props bought from a little Halloween store for kids I mean seriously! The storyline is terrible! The characters are annoying! The acting Sucks! Literally, nothing in the film makes sense. What a dreadful movie! It's a good thing a didn't buy it! I know what they were trying to do but it did not work at all! They just wasted their money he-he! Please people....this is a warning....don't watch it! Save yourselves!
