Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

ElijahCSkuggs Back in the day, during the VHS rental period, when you could walk down isle after isle, genre after genre, seeing all types of unknown flicks, you'd always happen to walk by one more than the other. Or just notice one a tad more than the others because of the ridiculous covers. The Boneyard happened to be one of these movies for me. And it took me over a decade to finally see the evil, grinning poodle movie. Well, that was my impression anyways.The Boneyard revolves around a psychic woman, a charismatic detective and his wet-behind the ears partner who team up with a morgue crew to stop some ancient supernatural evil......demons. To stop demons.The Boneyard more or less succeeds in a being a pretty good horror flick. With surprisingly good music (which you should notice right away), some over-the-top acting which makes you smile more than roll your eyes, and some very fun make-up effects. Though, The Boneyard does have problems taking itself serious during emotional scenes, and the tension builders take too long and eventually grow tiresome instead of frightening. I also would have appreciated a little more violence/gore. But no biggie it seemed they spent most of their cash on the make-up effects which were definitely cool.Another thing this movie has going for it is the hero. Or should I say, heroine. I'm actually one who is very much annoyed by all the horror flicks these days that are riddled with skinny, gorgeous women who by bullsh!t chance survive the unbelievable. In the Boneyard it's a tad different, even though our main character is a woman, she's a very overweight and average looking woman. It worked, it was unique, funny and it's something I really appreciated seeing.With The Boneyard delivering some fun running around, some cool effects and a nice score it made for a pretty enjoyable 90 minutes. Definitely give it a look if you're looking for a clear-your-mind and enjoy type horror flick. Oh, being a big fan of horror movies would suit you well.

Tikkin The Boneyard starts off very boring and for most of the first half it is. I was starting to think "I've picked a bore-fest again!", but the pace picks up in the second half and climaxes with the "zombie poodle" finale. The Boneyrad is really just an average zombie flick, the poodle being the exception. Without it, this film would have been long forgotten. The idea behind it is OK but it lacks gore and the first half is tedious. The sub-plot concerning the woman who lost her child is done terribly - you should be feeling some sort of emotion, but she's such a lifeless actress you feel nothing. The only thing worth seeing is the zombie poodle. There's one hilarious scene where the main character (the lifeless one) throws dynamite for it to "fetch", resulting in a poodle-explosion. It's up to you if you want to see this - but I would recommend fast forwarding to the second half and starting from there.

Backlash007 ~Spoiler~ The Boneyard is one part good, one part very bad. Two cops solicit the help of a 300 pound psychic to help solve a case involving an Oriental mortician and his curse. That's the beginning of the plot. When our cast of characters enter the morgue (aka "the boneyard") the movie picks up. That's when flesh-eating kids come out of the woodwork and madcap mayhem ensues. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't go all out and recommend it to anyone. There is one super-atmospheric shot in the hallway during the zombie children's first appearance that immediately sent a chill down my spine. While on the subject, the zombie kids are damn creepy and are sporting some great make-up. They're not your run of the mill walking dead. On the other hand, there are a lot of problems with the film too. Some parts are played too serious, while others are overly comedic and unrealistic. I do, however, love that giant poodle. That and the zombiefied Ms. Poopinplatz reminded me very much of Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. Overall, I'd call the flick a miss. It had potential but the acting is not good and the movie never finds an even tone. It doesn't know if it wants to be a fright-fest or a comedy. The Boneyard is worth a rent just to see the zombies and a wigless Phyllis Diller. Don't expect too much beyond that.

Ivan Ravenous When I saw the first 40 or so minutes of the Boneyard, I was delighted, because it was very scary. The little-girl zombies were frightening, and it had a great Aliens 3-like atmosphere. Unfortunately, the film really goes downhill after the half-way point, with the huge mutant poodle being the worst of it.I'd recommend the first half for some really good scares and tension, but the second half really ruined it all for me.
