Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Good concept, poorly executed.

A Disappointing Continuation
Leofwine_draca
B-movie horror made without a single imaginative moment, KNUCKLEBONES is one of those seen-it-all-before type flicks. A bunch of college students hole up in the usual creepy old house, where they decide to play a dice game in a bid to summon up an evil spirit. They succeed, and are subsequently killed one by one by the titular monster. This film is dark, gloomy, and very gruesome, full of cringeworthy kills accompanied by stupid one-liners from the villain. The actors are one-dimensional and the thrills and suspense non-existent. Overall, it can best be described as a mix between CANDYMAN and a lesser NIGHTMARE ON ELM STERET sequel.

"Knucklebones" might be the worst movie I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of bottom of the barrel schlock. Let's review what's in store for the unwary who are about to give up precious minutes of their lives watching this threadbare attempt to create a killer skeleton franchise.Grade Z acting by the casting call relatives of the guy who dumped this steaming pile on an unsuspecting world. No one seen here is the age they're supposed to be, except for a pre-teen girl who didn't have enormous boobs that could be used for titillation purposes. See what I did there? Way more inventive than anything ol' Knucky can offer. The teen girls look like pole riders from a seedy bar. Of note is the 30-something "best friend" of the suicidal main character who's channeling Paris Hilton. She pouts, wears tight sports bras and booty shorts and just loves herself. Other females seen in this stupidity readily bare the bazooms and get killed by the Knucky-thing. Bad gore and the prerequisite hilarious one-liners by the skullguy. You won't understand 99% of what he's cracking off, probably because the actor person under the terrible mask has a cloth over his real mouth so you can't see his real teeth. This is visible every time Knucky gets down and verbally assaults his prey. Naturally all the activity takes place in an abandoned factory in Texas, that has occult ties to the Nazis! This is explained as "wartime profiteering". Uh huh. Spooky things are discovered, Knucky is invoked and bad juju happens. Can someone explain why the electricity is still running in an abandoned factory for decades? The story makes no sense, and the writer/director didn't really give a damn. He gets very close to porn, which is what this whole stupid movie really wants to be. Might have been better that way, to think of it. One star for the scene in which a stud muffin, who's wearing pants, gets castrated while his top-heavy gal pal rides the about to be severed member. Knucky jams a saw on a stick up the girl's backside, cuts off the stud's junk and then cuts the cowgirl in half. Family fun! Come to think of it, Miss "Paris Hilton" gets the sharpened end of a broom rammed up her perky posterior, where it comes out of her mouth. Hmm. The director of this mess has issues. Thanks for sharing!This isn't so bad that it's good. It's just bad. Shot on a digital camera so old it's one step away from a camcorder. The titles alone look like an old paintbox program from the late 80s. The ten star reviews here are most likely from family and friends of the director. Avoid and do your laundry or watch paint dry, either is a more fulfilling undertaking.

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.

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.
