Bone Sickness (2004)

My rating - 5/10

(click on images below for larger versions)

A woman cares for her husband who's suffering from a bone disease and as things get worse she turns to a friend who helps get an alternative form of medicine. The new medication soon starts to cause horrific side effects.

The low budget zombie flick from director Brian Paulin certainly has it's moments, including some pretty graphic gore, plenty of pretty unappealing nudity and some decent zombie makeup. Sadly though these good moments are separated by long scenes of, well not much really!. The acting and writing isn't great as you'd expect but I've seen a lot worse!. As said, the gore is pretty graphic but most of it isn't very realistic. Most of the time you won't really be able to figure out what's going on and some characters just appear, say something unimportant and then wander off never to be seen again.

I do like this a little more than a lot of people seem to, but if you're looking for a decent low budget zombie film to pass the time then there's definitely better ones out there. Also, if you're looking to get into Paulin's work then I'd suggest watching Fetus first but don't pass on this one, just be in a forgiving mood when you watch it and there's some fun to be had.
