Effectively Crow N The Hood, this grotty little horror about a '70s badass (Snoop Dogg) who's iced, then resurrected decades later for ghostly revenge, is worth a look despite a tone as uneven as its hero's hair.
Despite its creators' promising credentials (cinematographer turned director Ernest R. Dickerson shot all of Spike Lee's early films, while co-writer Adam Smith produced The American Nightmare, a superb documentary on '70s horror films), Bones never really gels - Snoop is frankly too camp to convince as any kind of Freddy Krueger type - although Dickerson throws in some killer gags and plays around with structure. Pam Grier pops up as Dogg's loony lover - Tarantino must be wondering why he bothered with Jackie Brown.
