Sleepy-eyed hip-hop luminary Snoop Dogg stars in Bones, an energetic horror film about a hustler who returns from the dead. Jimmy Bones used to rule his street, but now his body lies in the basement of a gothic abandoned house. When a troupe of young DJs and promoters decide to turn the house into a nightclub, dark forces are, unsurprisingly, unleashed. Bones has a cutting sense of humour, and Ernest Dickerson's direction snaps, crackles and pops. It's not exactly subtle--the opening scene launches into gore and special effects--but there is some evocative imagery,... particularly a large black hell-hound that the club kids foolishly adopt as a pet. Snoop casts an effectively spectral aura and Pam Grier, as the hustler's psychically gifted former girlfriend, has her usual presence and energy. All in all, a dynamic and enjoyable horror flick. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com [show more]

Twenty years ago the ghetto was a good place to live, with crime and vice kept in check by the benevolent watchfulness of Mr Jimmy Bones (Snoop Doggy Dogg), but when Jimmy was killed by unknown parties everything began to fall apart, and the peaceable neighbourhood was soon transformed into a living hell. Now, with crack addicts littering the streets and violence and disrespect part of the fabric of everyday life, local psychic Pearl (Pam Grier) begins to sense that something might be about to happen. Could it be that the ghost of Jimmy Bones is about to return and exact a grisly revenge upon his murderers?
