Plot: The time is 1979. Jimmy Bones (Grammy-nominated rap superstar, Snoop Dogg, in his first starring role) is a legendary protector and patron of his thriving urban neighborhood. Cool, handsome and respected, Bones is the benevolent caretaker of his people, until he is betrayed and murdered by those closest to him simply for refusing to cooperate with them in a plan to begin dealing crack cocaine to the local populace.Flash forward to the present day… Crime and drugs have crumbled the neighborhood and Jimmy Bones has become a feared legend, a charismatic emblem of better times but also some one whose very name evokes dread. His once elegant brownstone, the dwelling in which he was brutally killed, remains standing but has become a decrepit, abandoned memorial to it’s former owner. Those who have stayed behind in the neighborhood, including Bones’ woman Pearl (Pam Grier), whose love for her murdered man still burns bright, and Shotgun (Ronald Selmour), Bones’ right-hand man who has never forgiven himself for not having the courage to die an honorable death protecting his friend, give the place a wide berth -- it’s well-known that strange happenings surround the house, and that those foolish enough to pass through it’s doorway often don’t come out.

Part blaxploitation spoof and part straight horror this has a decent cast and lots of pleasing grue to make it a better than average timewaster. ... The finale is a tad sloppy but overall this is an acceptable ride.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
The setup isn't always interesting, and it's marked by ham-handed supernatural occurrences that come off like second-rate Clive Barker. But it does feature a couple of good actors capable of playing character motivations that run nicely in shades of gray. 46/100--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
I wouldn't recommend this but I know some of you are probably curious. The only reason I'm even giving this two skulls is because the directing was well done and Snoop Dogg is Da Shiznit!!  --Mr. Wicked (Bloody-Disgusting.com)

Cliched slasher film. Nothing special. Has some decent gore, but the pink blood was very annoying. Check this if you got nothing to rent. 5/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
