A guy who is dying from some rare bone disease is revived by ingesting bone marrow from corpses his friend is stealing from they cemetery. Next thing you know, the angry dead are rising and going after those that desecrated their remains...
Pretty silly premise and the acting is downright atrocious, which is the primary reasoning behind most people's adamant dislike toward the film. Thing is, "Bone Sickness" does not derive it's strength from the performances of it's cast of non-actors, but from it's extensively intricate and prolific array of ultra-splattery gore effects. Literally wall-to-wall zombie gore and make-up effects is what "Bone Sickness" should be viewed and enjoyed for since that was clearly the main objective of Brian Paulin who single-handedly assembled the on-screen carnage.
Due to many people's harsh take on the film, I must express that I am in no way affiliated with Brian Paulin nor have I met him or received bribery for any kind of positive "fluff" review. My personal inference on independent film making is based on numerous components, rather than just one or two less-than-satisfactory aspects, such as piss poor acting from non-actors. I've seen many rancid, digitally shot back yard films with such a lack of aesthetic prowess that something like "Bone Sickness" - involving laborious make-up and prosthetic effects - is somewhat reminiscent of the days of Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson's earliest horror films.
If you like zombie flicks with tons of sick gore, "Bone Sickness" is not one to pass up
