Review of Bone Sickness (2004) by Vitor A — 04 Apr 2012
Perhaps I'm an idiot, but I loved this film. It has an extreme low-budget, shot-on-video look and feels like a Toe Tag pictures kind of production, but unlike most zombie fare I found this to be true throwback to golden days of the genre.
This film reminded me not of Romero and his many copycats but of Lucio Fulci and the Italian zombie film of the late 70s and early 80s: Zombi 2, Gates of Hell, The Beyond, Burial Ground, etc. Terrible acting and an overall abysmal aesthetic do not quite detract from the brutally independent drive of this film.
Twisted, nasty, and truly exploitative, Bone Sickness will delight fans of the genre that may have grown tired of the passe zombie film fare that titillates the masses but may feel a bit stale for true horror fans.
