Audience Member The city of the dead/shadow realm place is so well done with a great mix of practical and CG effects. This should’ve spawned so many sequels; it’s Snoop Dog as a Freddy Kruger/70s pimp character. It's so visually interesting; one of my favorite effects is the walls of the house turning into melting trapped souls. But the real standout is Bone’s body being re-built with some gnarly practical effect of Bone’s being reincarnated as a dog eats a man alive, and Bone's body is rebuilt with a melting body shot in reverse; it looks insane. Just all around cool as fuck and super funny too without being too goofy. Some may not like goofier moments, but I think it has enough scares/gore to offset the cheesiness of the dialogue and the characters. Anyway, if you have Tubi, watch this movie! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Ben H From the very beginning scenes I noticed this movie has aged like fine wine. Some incredible camera work and set design for a movie 23 years old now. The story is definitely interesting enough to keep you watching. If I had one gripe its that Snoop wasn't really that scary, although the end he ends up having a grotesque appearance and it really has a great wrap up to the story. Also, while talking about the ending, the city of the dead with moaning and squirming bodies all over the walls was so incredibly well done. This movie gave me Hellraiser meets Candyman vibes. Honestly a fantastic combination. The acting could have been better by some of the main characters but in the end I have very few complaints other than wishing I had watched this movie sooner! Definitely going to have to revisit it sometime in the future. If you're trying to get genuinely scared this movie probably isn't that (unless you're easy to scare). But don't let that sway you from the fact that this movie was a work of art and clearly a lot of work went into it. It takes itself very seriously which surprised me. Seeing Snoop as the main antagonist on the cover image made me question if this was going to be some evil bong meets the leprechaun type of cheese fest but it was refreshing and good. Don't let the negative reviews cause you to miss out on this one. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Joshua H Snoop dog's charisma is the height of the movie, but this candyman rip off fails to amount to much except being silly and not scary. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Mr P Ignore the critics this is a fun pastiche of late 70s blaxploitation films and cheesy horror Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/24/22 Full Review steve d Slow but has a few creepy moments. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This one is actually a lot more solid than I used to give it credit for. Sure it's kind of a silly blaxsploitation horror flick, and on the surface may seem like a cheap gimmick to feature Snoop as the monster. But there's more going on under the surface. A lot of care went into this production, with its classic gothic imagery, a ghostly revenge plot, some wacky humor, and even a tragic love story; it's a shame this never took off to create a franchise. Snoop was game and he even delivers a solid performance. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/17/20 Full Review Read all reviews
