WTF????

Been reading some of the drivel written about this movie, "Fum" "Awesome" "great special effects" Please take no notice, this is ultra low budget garbage. The acting is some of the worst you'll ever see, the effects are basic at best (buckets of blood and fake looking rubber limbs) The characters are so stereotypical it's cringe-worthy, the goth chick, check, the bimbo, check, the nerdy sensitive guy, check, the look at me, aint I just the dude 6 pack donning jock, check...You get the picture. You'd either have to have extremely low standards or be smoking some kind of medicinal herbs to enjoy this tripe. It's Asylum or SyFy channel grade stuff. Avoid!

The acting was pretty bad, except maybe from the non-jerk guy (I've seen him in other stuff like Bad Kids Go to Hell and Geography Club, and he's usually tolerable). The mom, cop, and the two gal pals were especially horrific. The only redeeming thing about this low budget fare was Knucklebones' design. Not exactly original, but it was kind of neat and ghoulish. Especially since they used practical effects and not CGI. Of course that likely had to do with the budget more than their integrity/stylistic choices.

I'm guessing this mess has been on the trash heap for a few years, waiting to be released. That guy's truck sticker did say 2011 after all.

Yeah the Knucklebones design in itself was ok but the rest of the films production values and the acting just took away any enjoyment for me. Shame because it sounded pretty cool. I don't understand why people make horror movies in the first place if they don't have the budget for it.

Yeah the movie isn't good. I did have a good laugh watching it with a friend though. And just as mahou_fancy_lala pointed out they used practical effects and I liked that a lot.
