Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Absolutely brilliant

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Paranormal investigators from a syndicated TV series get more than they bargained for when they set up to investigate a New Orleans home. Quentin French(Corin Nemic)just can't believe his paranormal investigation series is losing viewers and very close to being canceled. After all, shot in front of a "green screen" with special effects is not fooling serious viewers. Trying to save his job, the film crew is going to New Orleans to investigate a home that has been vacant a long time and carries the rumors of spooky things happening. No sooner than the co-star Heather Burns(Charisma Carpenter)and crew can get completely set up...the haunted house is beginning to prove itself. By the time self-centered French arrives in the rain, crew members are already experiencing supernatural activity. Some nice FX, but it now makes you start wondering about the actual shows you watch every week. Are they phony baloney? After all, how real does your enjoyment have to be? Carpenter is absolutely h-o-t! Also featured are: Ricky Wayne, Marcus Lyle Brown, Gregory Campo, Jake Austin Walker and Kyle Russell Clements. Not a total waste. There is even some laughs or two. That is if you are into sick humor. Actually filmed in Crowley, Louisiana.

Intent on providing a new feature, a paranormal research show decides to use a reportedly haunted house for their next shoot only to discover the house is genuinely haunted and try to uncover its dark secrets to get out alive.This is one of the more impressive and enjoyable entries in the style with a lot of rather enjoyable aspects to it. One of the main reasons for that is the fact that this one manages to include so many different clichés about the style while doing them in a manner that's enjoyable without really beating over the head how cliché they are. The opening starts to the house walk-through is a major example, as the malfunctioning tools, exaggerated readings and faulty opportunities to utilize the skills they've honed throughout their stint on the show are all quite logical and necessary for such a movie yet they come off as enjoyable here on their own while also subconsciously building to another factor down the road. Likewise, the incidents that occur once they're actually going through the house here are some of the most enjoyable parts of the movie with some actually chilling moments on display as the crumbling walls, haunting voices and other interferences with their equipment start building up a rather intriguing idea here that tends to match the earlier segments quite well, selling the idea that the house is truly haunted and they're in far over their heads here by staying firm to their belief that it's all a gag. Once that turns into the actually freaky events, from the shower disappearance to the battle up in the attic with the zombie-like slave ghost and the ending battle in the sewer system underneath the house this really tends to come alive with lots of action and some rather chilling moments here to make for some interesting and even chilling moments that really provide this with some gruesome, gory deaths as a result. There's one rather off factor about the film here because it does tend to throw around the back-story of the house and it's history far too late into the film so that it does tend to peter out and almost grind to a halt here by stopping for the lengthy and overlong explanation that stops the momentum the film had built up with all the hauntings and spiritual dealings beforehand that make for quite an impressive showing before this kills that slightly. It's not enough to really harm the film, but it is something to contend with in here.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language.

Anyone who watches original SyFy movies knows what to expect - a low budget look, often a poor script and average to below average acting. No one watches an original SyFy film for greatness - it's just shameless entertainment even if that entertainment comes from how bad the movie is and House of Bones is really no different.Basically, there is a TV show called Sinister Sites that goes to 'haunted' houses, films footage and airs what they found. Up till the latest house, the crew hadn't really found anything spooky and relied on smoke machines and tactics (always shoot at night) to drum up the scare factor and manipulate their nothing findings into an interesting show for viewers to watch. The ratings for the show were dropping so the show added a pretty female psychic to the team (Charisma Carpenter) and also decided that rather than stand behind a green screen and host the show, the host would actually go to the locations as well.Of course THIS house is not like the others - it's actually HAUNTED. People have been disappearing from this home for years (slaves, prostitutes, children) with the last person disappearing in 1950 - a little boy. Things immediately seem odd when the refrigerator is stocked full of fresh produce/food despite no one having lived there in decades. Then, as the crew starts setting up cameras and devices throughout the house, one of the members goes MISSING! .. and let the craziness ensue. I can not stress enough that if you want to watch this movie because you like Charisma Carpenter, just pass. Although she's technically in most of the movie, she doesn't really do anything. She's the psychic and she spends most of the movie randomly walking through the house getting vibes saying nothing other than the occasional 'We need to leave' or 'This house is evil' and is often randomly in the background of scenes where the other actors are actually doing/saying things. She doesn't have much dialogue and doesn't really actually do anything beyond what an extra could handle till maybe the last twenty minutes and even then, it's nothing to write home about. Just a fair warning seeing as how this movie is horrible. No reason to watch for her since it's not worth it - trust me.In the end, you have a stupid, cheaply made SyFy movie that completely falls apart in the past 3rd of the film. It gets too ridiculous and stupid to be taken even partially serious and by the end you will probably be laughing like me at how DUMB it is. Just pass. 3/10

House of Bones isn't terrible. That might usually be the best thing I can say about it, but the writers and director do deserve a little credit. The direction is competent and the cinematography is actually impressive for a straight-to-TV feature (meaning it doesn't look like crap or made rushed or hyper-stylized or tinted or whatever). And the script has a few legitimately funny lines of dialog between the baffled crew members on the reality TV show about to film an episode on a haunted-HUNGRY house (must emphasize hungry as it needs to eat). And when it comes time to get to the gore and effects and some of the usual lot of chincy CGI, it's not half-bad. And yet the script does falter when it comes time to really get to internal logic, or to explaining things in exposition, or bringing on the stereotypical a-hole TV show host who comes in the last third of the movie for a lot of useless yammering until his fate comes clear.But most depressing of all is seeing Charisma Carpenter here. She's never been a Shakespearean thespian or anything, but she's never needed to be. Featured on Buffy and Angel for many of their best seasons, she's always been a solid actress for those and other shows. But here she looks kind of bored and almost a little sad to be having the dubious pleasure of starring in a straight-to-SyFy channel movie. While her fate isn't quite as abysmal as her co-stars on those shows (Amber Benson in Gryphon and Nicholas Brendon in Fire Serpent), it's no great shakes for her character, a psychic and ghost-talker of some kind who should be leaving the house the moment she starts coughing up blood, but stays on for the good (or bad) of those around her in this crazy old piece of property. She doesn't bring the film down, but it's hard for her to do anything to bring up the standard at best so-so at worst stupid and laughable piece of horror drek before her.
