Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

GL84 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.

BA_Harrison The cast and crew of a reality ghost-hunting TV show rock up at a haunted plantation house expecting the usual non-event; to their horror, this particular location turns out to be the real deal, a possessed building that feeds on the blood of its victims.Y'know, for a SyFy movie starring Corin Nemec and a past her prime Charisma Carpenter, I didn't think that House of Bones was all that bad. Sure, the final act is a bit of a chaotic mess, with inexplicable stuff happening left, right and centre, but I was never bored, director Jeffery Scott Lando successfully creating a spooky atmosphere throughout despite the silliness and throwing in a reasonable amount of fun gore amidst all of the supernatural shenanigans.For fans of the red stuff there is a dumb cop impaled by a malevolent iron railing, a woman getting a Glasgow smile courtesy of a large shard of glass, mutilated slaves on meat-hooks and one of the ghost-hunters having his eye drilled out by a robotic camera (don't ask!).5.5 out of 10, rounded up to 6 for IMDb.

nattherat123123 this ''film'' (i dare to call it) is so bad when ever a friend brings it up i almost puke the storyline s (aswell as a disappointment) a total mess of various already used scenes.i rate this move a -14 sorry if you were offended in anyway but i would literally rather be stabbed than watch this.AND I ENJOY LOW BUDGET FILMS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!i was surprised to find this movie was directed by the maker of goblin (yet another TV film fest) and many other bad movies made for TV, if your looking for a good time and a film that states its characters enough so you remember them i highly recommend an entirely different film any even if you have to watch a film from the 1920s. you will highly disappointed if you watch this so just take my advice and watch another horror masterpiece unlike this disappointment.

BakuryuuTyranno While not actually scary, House of Bones does succeed in giving the audience the impression the house is haunted. I've seen haunted house films before where it wasn't convincing that people couldn't just leave.Even compared to other films syfy commissioned, the cast's pretty small and there aren't many throwaway characters introduced for body count purposes. The pacing is pretty good actually as one character is taken by the house early leaving the others first confused and later unwilling to leave (assuming the house would even let them).Incidentally there's also less use of CGI than most syfy-commissioned films. The only real problem with "House of Bones" is its anti-climatic ending.
