    Kristen is careing for her very ill husband that seems to be dieing for a degenerative bone disease now with no cure insight she turns to a friend for help to find a much different cure and this one is eating the bones of dead or alive people alike but in the end this treatment h...( read more)as some very unimaginable side effects. Very low budget horror movie has a good story and could have done with more money overall i would recommend checking this out as its packed with gore to make up for what its missing.

    This film is for gore fans only!
    Let me just say that this film was an exercise in criminal illogicalness and nonsensicality. The plot is ridiculously convoluted and you spent most of the film wondering things like: "how is this guy puking worms when he hasn't eaten any" or "how...( read more) did a scorpion get loose in this house" even "how did this guy grow his hair past his shoulders in one afternoon" and the list goes on. The zombies in the film look like rejects from the Fulci rip-off Burial Ground, and some how have spiderwebs on them after coming out of the ground.
    The film is also poorly directed and edited, and the sound and music is quite bad, this being one of the main reasons for the low rating as it could have been alot better with some care and effort. The dialogue and acting was laughable at best. And I felt it was quite misogynist the nudity was senseless really, I'm all for as much nudity as you can cram in a picture but only if it pertains to the plot, I felt this was just thrown in for kicks, even one scene where a girl seems to be writhing in lust as she imagined decaying bodies fucking....yah, It makes less sense it you watch the film.
    What I will say about this film is that the special make up effects are jaw dropping. Clearly the filmmaker did not care about the things I have criticized above as this film is essentially a gore fest, and I mean like mass amount of blood and guts slatter the screen. There are some key gross out parts, even for me, a seasoned horror fan. What's incredible is how well they are done on such a low budget and although owing about to 70s exploitation and Romero in particular still retains an imagination to disgust. If this Brian Paulin character makes another film I hope it's in the sfx department as a good script and good director could have really made this film something.
    Bottom line: If you just wanna see crazy gore, and I mean fucking insane, watch this. If you want some plot and meaning, avoid at all costs.

    Gore galore! The Unearthed DVD release also adds tons of extra gore! They got him to go out and shoot entirely new gore scenes with, wait for it... goblins! Such a fun movie that's a real tribute to zombie and gore films of yore.

    I just saw this film last night and to be honest I didn?t know what to think about it. Part of me liked it and part of me didn?t. It?s one of those love it or hate it films. It was possibly the only true low budget horror film that keeps its word and there word is all the carnage...( read more) is shown on screen. Yes you heard me right unlike most horrors that boast they don?t shy away from the violence, most actually do. The carnage begins you see a little then it shys away and then you see the ?after? effects. With Bone Sickness when the carnage happens, you see it ALL of it. This film is as extreme as low budget horror can get. It?s even more gory than Evil Dead, which I never thought was possible but I was proved wrong. Ok now that?s said more isn?t always a good thing. Paulin does what he can with the budget that he has, the effects are ok but not quite brilliant. He?s more like a poor man Peter Jackson Sometimes the effects work and sometimes they don?t. Some may look good and some you can totally tell are fake. Both examples are shown in this. If you got the stomach of it (not to mention the guts too) then you?ll have fun watching people die in gruesome ways but if you use your brain too much then you just won?t enjoy it as much. The story is very corny and even totally ridiculous but somewhat fun too. The acting isn?t that good either. You can tell that it is a low budget horror movie straightaway but how everyone (including the director Brian Paulin who is also in this as a major character) somewhat gives their lines with a hint of wood. Certain essences of the story are borrowed from most other horror maestros like Lucio Fulci, George A. Romero, Tobe Hooper, Sam Raimi to name but a few and you will see it used in this film. There will be some scenes where you will say ?he copied that from Fulci, he copied that from Romero, he copied that out of Poltergeist.? All in all if you suspend your brain for about 2 hours and revel in gore then you will find this crate of lager movie fun to watch. Although by the end it all goes really weird. This film really does have the WTF??? Factor to it. It?s worth watching at least twice.

    Be warned though this film contains worms and maggots used in close detail that will turn your stomach if you eat while watching. Having his characters puking and crapping up maggots and worms did make me a little queasy but Paulin does bring a sense of dread to this gory tale.
