United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"To point out little flaws in this one would be like looking at a demolished car and complaining that the taillight doesn't work. 'Bones' doesn't work at all."	NEG
United States	Jason Jenkins Bloody Disgusting	"Dickerson displays a true love of the genre with 'Bones', giving us a fright flick which pays homage to numerous scary subgenres."	POS
United States	Mike Clark USA Today	"If grossness gives you the giggles, at least a couple of the movie's effects indeed put a little "wow" in this cinematic bowwow (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG

United States	David Nusair Reel Film	"It takes a full hour before anything interesting happens (believe me, I checked)"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"[It] may be pure trash, but it’s trash made with the kind of oozy psychedelic zest that powered a movie like 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors'.	POS
