If you're about to watch this movie, you should put behind the logic of the ghostly thoughts you have. It's a predictable movie with a common plot of 'friends having fun a abandoned pretty place'; which doesn't work out as the way they planned.

After watching the movie i myself think that much could have been done to make the movie thrilling, story wasn't good, but, you can't do much with a skeleton ghost. Acting was Okay, Tom Zembrod (The Knucklebone) did good, cinematography was mediocre. Watchable if you don't have anything to do. Good that they didn't decide to longer the plot more, it could have been a nightmare then. Good twist in the end i may say.

In my opinion if you don't want to do yourself a mental mischief the best way to view Knucklebones is as a comedy of errors.

Casting aside the predictable "B" grade credentials of this film, its inability, in my view, to actually settle on a simple core concept and stick to it, is the main reason its such a mess.

This flick constantly oscillates between vaguely formulated, uninspiring ideas. Its as if the whole thing tries far too hard, to be interesting and original. It would have been better off, I feel, basking in its "B" grade glory and just sticking with a simpler slasher flick premise.

The acting is OK, there's a little black humour, thats not too dreadful and there are a few "jump scares" but thats all I can find that's positive to say here. Four out of ten from me.

"Knucklebones" might be the worst movie I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of bottom of the barrel schlock. Let's review what's in store for the unwary who are about to give up precious minutes of their lives watching this threadbare attempt to create a killer skeleton franchise.

Grade Z acting by the casting call relatives of the guy who dumped this steaming pile on an unsuspecting world. No one seen here is the age they're supposed to be, except for a pre-teen girl who didn't have enormous boobs that could be used for titillation purposes. See what I did there? Way more inventive than anything ol' Knucky can offer. The teen girls look like pole riders from a seedy bar. Of note is the 30-something "best friend" of the suicidal main character who's channeling Paris Hilton. She pouts, wears tight sports bras and booty shorts and just loves herself. Other females seen in this stupidity readily bare the bazooms and get killed by the Knucky-thing. Bad gore and the prerequisite hilarious one-liners by the skullguy. You won't understand 99% of what he's cracking off, probably because the actor person under the terrible mask has a cloth over his real mouth so you can't see his real teeth. This is visible every time Knucky gets down and verbally assaults his prey. Naturally all the activity takes place in an abandoned factory in Texas, that has occult ties to the Nazis! This is explained as "wartime profiteering". Uh huh. Spooky things are discovered, Knucky is invoked and bad juju happens. Can someone explain why the electricity is still running in an abandoned factory for decades?

The story makes no sense, and the writer/director didn't really give a damn. He gets very close to porn, which is what this whole stupid movie really wants to be. Might have been better that way, to think of it. One star for the scene in which a stud muffin, who's wearing pants, gets castrated while his top-heavy gal pal rides the about to be severed member. Knucky jams a saw on a stick up the girl's backside, cuts off the stud's junk and then cuts the cowgirl in half. Family fun! Come to think of it, Miss "Paris Hilton" gets the sharpened end of a broom rammed up her perky posterior, where it comes out of her mouth. Hmm. The director of this mess has issues. Thanks for sharing!

This isn't so bad that it's good. It's just bad. Shot on a digital camera so old it's one step away from a camcorder. The titles alone look like an old paintbox program from the late 80s. The ten star reviews here are most likely from family and friends of the director. Avoid and do your laundry or watch paint dry, either is a more fulfilling undertaking.

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.

By seeing adds like, forget Jason or forget Michael or this is a new killer that you will never forget I gave it a try. After decades of watching horrors I do know that such adds mostly predict a terrible flick.

So what do we have here, terrible acting, an unconvincing killer and of course the kind of horrors that like to attract the men. Just face it, it's full of voluptuous girls wearing tees who are on the small size to extract their juggs. And with cleavage. And not only that, let's put on daisy dukes. really, it's not because you have juggs who are acting that it makes a flick. Of course the production found a girl who had to reveal her body and she does but hey, she's f*cking but still has her thong on! And there's also a shot were a girl is bending over to have a stick entering her, well you can guess it.

No, this isn't an interesting flick. Most of the effects are done off-camera. Some do work out fine and some doesn't. But most of the time the only thing you are watching are the girls. For teens this is a must see but for geeks like me it's ridiculous and never got my attention and you will have to wait halfway the flick before the horror comes in...

I don't want to waste much time writing a review. This movie was terrible. I would rather spend 90 minutes at the dentist. I really feel bad for the cast. To put this movie on there resume is like a pedophile applying to be an early childhood worker. The best part of the movie was the end credits. I find it very difficult to put this movie into the horror genre or any genre at that. If it was possible I would like to wipe my ass with this movie after a marathon chipolte dinner. I've spent several hours trying to think of a worse film.....but nothing can compare to this. I recommend this movie to anyone who is blind and deaf. If there ever is a sequel to this I'm positive that would be a sign of the end times.

Knucklebones, Directed by Mitch Wilson, who also wrote it, was released in 2016, it stars Julian Jean, and Tom Zembrod and Katie Bosacki, and a handful of other victims, um, players. Spoiler Alert : plot details are given.

After an ambiguous opening sequence featuring Nazis, and Tits, it jumps to another unrelated bit of violence in some kind of textile plant. Jump cut to the present. You can recite the dialogue because you have heard it so many times before;

"Hey I know of a deserted factory where people were murdered, lets grab

a few beers, and some chicks, and spend the night there".

"I don't feel good about summoning a demon, but OK, what the hell". And on and on. One knows that five people visiting that night are not going to be enough. Throw in the wrecking crew, and the cops. Got to get the body count up there. and more Tits, while we are on it.

Yep another wise cracking worm faced demon, doing his best Robert England impression. played by Tom Zembrod. Another suicide inclined jilted lover Julian, who survives. No one to root for here, really, On the Plus, it was technically competent, good production values, well lit, and the gore seemed to be produced as practical effects. I give this Four 'same 'ol song, Stars out of Ten. You want to see a real imaginative, demon conjuring movie? try Lo, 2009. directed by Travis Bets.

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.

I caught the world premiere of this at FrightFest and was glad to have done so. I've been a big fan of the Friday 13th formula for a long time and it's something that's been missing in recent years.

Slasher movies since the 90s have often tried to extend or adapt the formula to keep the genre fresh but in all honesty, the Freddy/Jason format is hard to beat.

Need I explain much? Some randy teens find a disused warehouse and summon a demon, by mistake, which then leads to him dispatching them one by one. I'm not going to get heavy on the story here, it's not what I went to see the movie for but it is a reasonably decent premise when revealed which I'll leave to you to discover.

The acting is good but I'm not going to suggest we have any Oscar-worthy stuff in it. The beautiful Julin, who plays Neesa is pretty solid in her lead role and the rest work well around her.

As a splatter flick, this movie rocks. Knucklebones, the demon, is the real hero and whilst the kills are more Jason-style, as far as the tool set used is concerned, the one-liners and general inventiveness are more from the Elm-street book.

A fun 90 minutes of midnight, popcorn horror. Check it out if it's your thing.

If you think this movie is some sort of underground piece of art you have dug too far. With the strange acting, massive plot holes, and simply bizarre happenings all around. If you want to have a couple drinks and laugh your asses off at a one of a kind film this is it. If they had fixed the plot a little and cut nearly all of the story building in the beginning I would love to have this movie on disk to watch over and over again. Once Knucklebones is out and chasing all the randy teenagers the movie is super fun, fast paced, and the ending isn't half bad either.

Otherwise this movie is packed full of perfect one liners and hilarious moments and if you can ignore all of the poor plot and silly characters you are sure to have a great time!
