Perfectly adorable
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
View MoreIt is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
View MoreA lot of bashing on this movie. I get it. It is a snooze fest for the first half of the flick. The acting is pretty generic, to be polite..but polite I must be since the ending is so gory, so brutal, so shocking in it's arrival that it is a thing of unexpected beauty for gore-hounds. I tried watching director Brian Paulin's "Fetus"..couldn't get into it..never finished it. This though? Wow man, how any zombie or gore fan could dump on a movie like this when we're given such a remarkably unexpected ending is beyond me. The zombie arrival is an absolute blast of violence and brutality I haven't seen in some time, perhaps ever. These zombies rampage through humanity with the force of evil itself riding shotgun. The screen is soaked in blood and organs. I even liked the reason for the zombies...credit for originality as the origin of these maniacal human hating undead swarms is brave and sinister. However...be warned, you do have to tolerate the dreadful, slow slow burn of a beginning. It drags. The dumping on the girlfriend is pathetic as well. Darya Zabinski is a full figured busty actress and her body is far from obese. Very curvy and attractive...it was refreshing to see a woman I found sexy with her clothes off in a movie for once. Zombie and gore fans worldwide respect and appreciate this movie...give it a shot.
View MoreI sat through this film that managed to drag and not explain anything at the same time, The film when on, and on, and on, and on, not in a good way either.... I like bad horror movies, the scariest thing about this one was the inability to end the movie sooner... The good: the credits in the film and the cover art looked very good. The bad of the film... everything else. Bad movie broken down..... Plot spoiler and Story Summary: Guy gets sick, Idiot friend and Girlfriend decides feeding him crushed bones hidden in a broth to heal him, For no reason in the story you see idiot friends girlfriend every once in a while then get killed off, THEN a Detective story line that goes nowhere in the middle with the detective getting killed off, Then the dead get upset about being eaten and come back to eat the living. Then The guy whose sick turns into some ghoul eats girlfriend, turns on friend and ends up secretly knowing everything that happened. The end? no not quite, THEN some really dumb scene with two witch demon things near the end try to explain why stuff is happening in the movie. (tacked on rewrites maybe? who cares anymore) for who knows what reason, explaining why the dead have risen to the boy and they have to kill him because he saw them feed. (wtf?) and Boy ghoul gets killed by zombies after he kills ever other character in the story. The end? no you would pray so but no.... THEN drag the movie on for a pointless military versus undead shoot out, that goes on too long for no reason. The soldiers die in a way you begin to pray this crap fest should. The End? No,no,no... THEN have a bio-hazard team killing civilians for no reason, some car explosions...(I kid you not) and Zombies killing them..... Is it over yet? are you kidding.... THEN show a winter scene with a poorly acted voice over asking if anyone is still alive.....with a zombie walking in the snow... The end? I think so but who knows what was thrown in after the credits. now these things maybe can work, on individual levels to make a good movie but it doesn't here. because the writer/director might have A.D.D. because the story changes and pointless stuff getting tacked in for no reason whatsoever over and over again killed the movie. I think the people making this film weren't paying attention to their own movie. Next time remember guys, Less is more... especially in a low budget horror movie. Tell your story quick and get out. there was easily 40 minutes that could of been trimmed off this film and too many side stories that did nothing but hurt your efforts.Maybe next time you can get it right. The Gore was buckets of kool-aid, worms, jello and plastic wrap. the zombies looked okay, not great but okay. If you are actually masochistic enough to read this review then... watch the movie. everyone else skip it.
View MoreWHAT?! I CAN'T GIVE NEGATIVE STARS?!I made the mistake of picking up Bone Sickness, well it's not so much a mistake as it was an awful, deep regret that I will have to live with for the rest of my life. I picked up a used copy (big surprise that someone returned it) and read the back of the case, saying it was in the vein of Lucio Fulci classics and it was wrong, dead wrong. Bone Sickness is the biggest waste of time, the biggest waste of film and certainly THE WORST horror movie ever made. I would rather watch ANY Ed Wood movie on repeat ALL DAY LONG, then sit through this horrible pile EVER again. I immediately returned this crap back to the video store I purchased it from, and I know now that I should have destroyed it, so no one else would have to suffer through it.All The zombies looked the same, and no make up, just cheap masks. They were covered in cheap, Halloween spider webs that you can buy at Wal*Mart, the suits the corpses were wearing looked brand new, just cut up a bit to appear old. They used the same props for the same gags over and over again. The acting was beyond sub-par, it was as if they just looked at the script once, slaughtered the line, then moved on to the next worthless scene. The sound sucked, everything was either overkill or hardly audible, annoying soundtrack too. The picture was horrible, as if it was filmed on a camera someone stole from a High School in the early 90s'. I can only tell that the positive reviews given for this movie are either from people who have never seen a decent horror movie in their pitiful lives or someone who was directly involved with this steaming pile of moronic dribble. "Hey, let's randomly add scorpions for no reason" COOL! "Hey, let's make the dude crap out worms" HEY, DOUBLE COOL! Sorry, I meant CRAP.The script for this movie was probably a page in length (and that's me being generous) because the people behind this movie were obviously dumb. REAL dumb. So if you value spending your time wisely, skip this crap. If you are a moron who doesn't mind watching worthless movies for the second rate gore and ugly chicks running around nude, Then knock yourself out moron.
View MoreBone Sickness starts as Kristen (Darya Zabinski) gives her sick husband Alex (Rich George) a potion concocted by their friend Thomas (Brian Paulin) to try & keep him alive, with no insurance & nothing the doctor's can do Alex is on the verge of death from some disease which decays bones. Unfortunately Thomas has been using bones from bodies he has dug up from graveyards & as such they are infected with parasites (look I didn't write this crap, OK?) which turns Alex's insides into maggots & worms which he starts to puke up & sh*t out when he goes to the toilet. Then for no reason whatsoever all the bodies in the graveyard come back to life as flesh eating zombies & start to kill & eat everyone...Bone Sickness is pretty much a homemade film shot on a camcorder principally by Rich George & Brian Paulin, virtually every credit during the end goes to one or both of them from staring in it to editing it, filming it, building the sets, doing the special effects & just about everything else including the stunt driving! You know sometimes we take things for granted, little things like films which make sense & are well made so when a film as truly dire & amateurish as Bone Sickness comes along it makes you appreciate universally hated & panned films like Catwoman (2004) just that little bit more. First off lets talk about the story in Bone Sickness or rather the complete lack of it, things seemingly happen at random, virtually nothing is explained let alone makes any sense, the plot twists are terrible (when the guy gets an axe in his head at the start Alex was sick in bed so it couldn't have been him), there's no sense of time or location & as for the final ten minutes in the graveyard when those devil looking type creatures appear the film completely loses the viewer & becomes one of the biggest messes in film history. Bone Sickness is a disaster, it's a amateur homemade horror film that is really, really bad in every way although the fact that the final thirty or forty minutes is wall to wall gore prevents the dreaded 1 star out of 10, it's just a shame the gore effects are so poor.From a film-making point of view Bone Sickness is a mess & as bad as any film you will ever see, enthusiasm for the genre just isn't enough. I mean I could make a horror film on my camcorder using my friends & family, does that automatically mean it should get released on DVD & mean people actually want to watch it? No, I didn't think so. The lighting is horrible, the photography is strictly point & shoot with no close-ups or establishing shots which gives it a really horrible choppy feel, the editing is poor & he never knows when to cut away & the special effects are terrible with the worst looking fake blood I've ever seen, it's more like red water. To give some credit where it's due there are plenty of gore, from ripped off arms, intestine eating, autopsy scenes, stomachs being ripped open, branches stuck in peoples necks, throat biting, face melting, babies ripped from pregnant women, head smashing, decapitations, bodies cut in half, rotten zombies, lots of red water sorry I mean blood splashed about everywhere, people blown up with grenades, people shot, heads ripped in half both vertically & horizontally & all sorts of bodily mutilation but it all just looks so poor & a lot of the same effects are repeated more than once. There's a disgusting moment when Alex spews up a load of worms, real worms so the poor guy actually had to hold them in his mouth to shoot the scene. He also eats them back up again, two scenes which are hard to watch if your squeamish but when you think about it nothing more extreme than what the Jackass & Dirty Sanchez boys do. The film looks awful as well with poor photography shot on a camcorder & probably edited on a home PC movie making software package.The IMDb lists the budget for Bone Sickness as a mere $3,000 which if true is an incredibly small amount to make a 90 odd minute film on, no matter how bad it is. The makers certainly get my congratulations for sticking with it & making a film on that sort of money but it's still absolutely awful in every respect. There's a constant buzz on the soundtrack which is noticeably out of sync at times & the whole film is just so amateurish it becomes a real chore to sit through. The acting is awful & among the worst ever committed to film, seriously these people are obviously just friends & family of George & Paulin.Bone Sickness is one of the poorest, most badly made films I've ever seen & that's no exaggeration. The story is none existent & makes no sense & it's incredibly hard to sit through, one worm puking scene is the only gross thing here since all the other effects are so poor. The sort of film which literally leaves you speechless.
