Thanks for the memories!
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
A group of college kids (naturally all the girls are HOT) summon a rubbish demon called Knucklebones, who has possibly the worst & cheesiest "evil" voice in any slasher movie, plus he sports a cheap, unconvincing looking mask. And this action takes place in abandoned factory, closed for 40 years, yet the electric lights are still on & the place looks fully kitted out! Acting ranges from very bad (especially the sheriff & old Knucklehead himself) to passable. The only two things going for this movie (and why I have awarded it 4/10, not less) is a fair smattering of gore & one titillating sex scene. Hopefully this is not the start of a new franchise.
"Knucklebones" is a cheap imitation and throwback to '80 and '90 slashers like "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Candyman". I love that slasher era, but "Knucklebones" is even for the die-hard fan no fun to watch. It's frustrating watching how these people are trying to act (See how I didn't use the word 'actors'?). The five young friends who spend the night in the haunted factory look pretty but seem to be picked right off the street instead out of an actual acting agency. I highly doubt they will ever appear in anything else. The dialogue is dull and laughable at best. When it's revealed that the demon can speak you really wish he couldn't. A lame story without any tension and mostly cheap effects so even for the gore hounds it's not that interesting.However, there are a couple of decent gore scenes. One scene worth mentioning is when the demon Knucklebones appears but that ripped off "Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge". Terrorised by the demon, a couple still thinks it's smart to have sex (..?!), this results in a death scene which totally rips off "Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday". You're better off watching those series again instead of this.. Even the "Candyman" sequels were Oscar material compared to this mess..
This was a low budget horror that I took a chance on and it was fun and cheesy.Story is a horror, a bunch off teens/young adults decide to have a bit of fun in the standard abandoned environment and hell ensues.They unleash an Nazi demon??? called Knucklebones. There was some nice shots and sfx used to show the demon. Much of the movie he was kept in the dark and rarely seen fully which was great.The acting was a lot of fun. Either it was bad acting or intentionally terrible line delivery. This is a movie you can re-watch and laugh at bad lines and so on.I will give it a good bad movie rating of 7.5 out of 10.
The Nazis create a demon that you can summon by rolling knuckle bones and saying a few words for the purpose of wiping out enemy troops. This demon is a Jason type with a Freddy voice and his sense of humour. Years later the bones are found in a box stored in an old factory. Wouldn't you know it some teens play the game and summon Knucklebones.This one had so much potential. When Knucklebones is summoned he needs a body to come through. Your bones will just start snapping and sticking right through your skin then he crawls right out of the person leaving a spent corpse. When you see this you think this film is going rock but then it never does. It just seems muddled.One problem was his voice which was a distorted Freddy. You could make out his one liners sometimes but mostly not. Everything seemed to wrap up quick which I think the writer sort of wrote himself into a corner. He has Knucklebones stop pursing one of the last survivors only to leave the factory and go all the way to the survivors house to go after the young sister. What's even worse is the sister is waiting in bed with a bow and arrow. What? The one thing I laughed at the hardest was what she went through to get some new knuckle bones. She makes Ash look like a sissy.I hope a different writer gets to do the sequel.
