Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

You won't be disappointed!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

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.

I watched "House of Bones" after seeing a mention in USA Today that Charisma Carpenter from Buffy/Angel was starting in it. What a let down. I do not understand why the producers would put her in the movie then give her virtually nothing to do. As a basic "haunted house" movie it is okay. In this case the house doesn't have ghosts living in as the house itself it sort of alive. A team of ghost hunters come after going to 50 other houses none of which showed any real paranormal activity. Charisma sort of shows up with no back story as some class of medium. She is wearing baggy clothes and there is no attempt to glam her up. Okay as the story starts to unwind the ghost hunters are running around the place and about every ten minutes the script has Charisma holding her head and complaining about the evil presence. I kept waiting for her character to step up and take over or become possessed or do something else to become the focal point of the story. But no, it never happens. The part wasn't any kind of a show case, it was something they could have pulled anyone off the street and stuck in there and there wouldn't have to change any dialog. I don't understand this as they could have kept the story virtually the same but have character that gets the most screen time and is alive at the end be played by Charisma. That I would have enjoyed, this is just disappointing.So if you want to see a "C" movie about a haunted house it's okay as a time filler. If you want to see Charisma Carpenter as I did this is not something to watch.

Charisma Carpenter stars as a psychic who "reads" supposedly "haunted places" hired by a reality TV show. Corin Nemic is a self-absorbed celebrity television host whose cheesy show, Sinister Sites, is sinking in the ratings, needing a boost so he reluctantly agrees to attend(or so he thinks)the newest selected house(The Wicker House, where a child went missing), which, unlike other fraud turkeys, is legitimately haunted. Charisma senses a lot of pain which will visit upon the Sinister Sites crew over a night shoot. It doesn't take long before paranormal activity rears it's ugly head. Technical equipment(cameras, sound microphones,recorders, even a little remote controlled robot)are put to good use in the hopes of capturing something substantially significant. Sci-fi channel haunted house flick wears out the usual, and very tired, clichés. There's a well located in the slaves quarters(..which is now an abandoned shack)which is kind of a belly of the Wicker house(..we actually hear crunching sounds after a dead body is thrown into it, signaling it's feeding!)and come to find that it must be fed. Those caught in the house include Carpenter(..as Heather), producer Tom Rule(Rick Robinson, Jr, who gets all excited at the possibilities that this show will yield actual results seeing career advancement), crew members Greg(Marcus Lyle Brown) and Simon(Collin Galyean)& invited guest Bub(Kyle Russell Clements). We soon discover that the house is needing a "caretaker" to provide it with human nourishment. Nemec doesn't really factor into the plot, as host/executive producer Quentin, until the very end, and really doesn't have much to do other than bemuse as a smug Hollywood "star". Carpenter remains frightened and cautious(..when she isn't ill either from spitting blood or gagging hair?!?!). The character of Tom changes behavior almost spontaneously, which never makes a hell of a lot of sense, going from scared rabbit wanting to get out of the house, to voluntary killer willing to do it's evil bidding. Stephanie Honore is Sarah, the house's Realtor, and unfortunate victim when she shows up, believing she was called by Simon, when in fact it was the building's evil to summoned her! Ridiculous plot, story developments, and finale sink this pitiful movie which is devoid of thrills or chills. An eye is gouged by a small drill, an ax is hurled into a victim's back, a sharred piece of window glass stabs into another victim's mouth, etc. I figured this was more or less a spoof on "ghost reality shows", such as sci-fi channel's very own "Ghost Hunters", failing miserably.

I just finished watching "House of Bones" and I must say that I was impressed. When I tuned in I thought that I was just watching another boring, pointless Sci-Fi movie or "SyFy" as they now call it. The acting was way better than I was expecting Charisma was great as always, but the others were surprisingly good also. Some of the Special effects were a little cheesy but for a "SyFy" they were great. I was on the edge of my seat from the very start when the boy went to get his baseball and all the way to the very end. The story & plot of a haunted house that wasn't just haunted but very much alive was familiar, probably used before, but still very interesting & in it's own way unique. To sum it up this movie was AMAZING for what it was. Even if it was in the theaters it was still worth watching! I recommend it to anyone who loves horror flicks.
