Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Dickerson stays true to the tradition in the film's last third, which turns seriously stupid, and finally outright comic. Read more

Ebert & Roeper: Read more

Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Slow to start, this Snoop Dogg vehicle gets revved up as soon as it gets gross, funny and stupid. Actually, it's pretty stupid from the start. Read more

Stephen Holden, New York Times: In exalting the very worst of humanity, Bones displays a special glee and an unusual density of scary imagery. Read more

Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz: Stylish and ingratiatingly goofy. Read more

Gene Seymour, Newsday: Its transitions often are sloppy and crude. But it brandishes its excesses like a loud, retro suit. Read more

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Read more

Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle: As a horror film, Bones is a half-hearted bust, not likely to really frighten anyone over age 12. It works better if watched tongue in cheek as a supernatural pot boiler. Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: May be pure trash, but it's trash made with the kind of oozy psychedelic zest that powered a movie like A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Read more

Globe and Mail: Read more

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: A grotesquely uneven schlockfest with large doses of bad writing and bad acting amid the delicious moments. Read more

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: To point out little flaws in this one would be like looking at a demolished car and complaining that the taillight doesn't work. Read more

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: A mangy and ungainly movie, a cluttered and uncreepy assembly of stale cliches, telegraphed scares and low-rent effects. Read more

Time Out: Read more

Mike Clark, USA Today: If grossness gives you the giggles, at least a couple of the movie's effects indeed put a little 'wow' in this cinematic bowwow. Read more

Joe Leydon, Variety: Made with sufficient skill to produce a few shivers. Just as important, it contains enough self-mocking humor to earn a few laughs. Read more

Ed Park, Village Voice: Splits the difference between horror and social commentary, with pallid returns. Read more
