Knucklebones

I caught the world premiere of this at FrightFest and was glad to have done so. I've been a big fan of the Friday 13th formula for a long time and it's something that's been missing in recent years.

Slasher movies since the 90s have often tried to extend or adapt the formula to keep the genre fresh but in all honesty, the Freddy/Jason format is hard to beat.

Need I explain much? Some randy teens find a disused warehouse and summon a demon, by mistake, which then leads to him dispatching them one by one. I'm not going to get heavy on the story here, it's not what I went to see the movie for but it is a reasonably decent premise when revealed which I'll leave to you to discover.

The acting is good but I'm not going to suggest we have any Oscar-worthy stuff in it. The beautiful Julin, who plays Neesa is pretty solid in her lead role and the rest work well around her.

As a splatter flick, this movie rocks. Knucklebones, the demon, is the real hero and whilst the kills are more Jason-style, as far as the tool set used is concerned, the one-liners and general inventiveness are more from the Elm-street book.

A fun 90 minutes of midnight, popcorn horror. Check it out if it's your thing.

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.

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

I don't want to waste much time writing a review. This movie was terrible. I would rather spend 90 minutes at the dentist. I really feel bad for the cast. To put this movie on there resume is like a pedophile applying to be an early childhood worker. The best part of the movie was the end credits. I find it very difficult to put this movie into the horror genre or any genre at that. If it was possible I would like to wipe my ass with this movie after a marathon chipolte dinner. I've spent several hours trying to think of a worse film.....but nothing can compare to this. I recommend this movie to anyone who is blind and deaf. If there ever is a sequel to this I'm positive that would be a sign of the end times.

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.
