The Boneyard (1991)

Too much of everything

The acting in this movie is really good.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I caught this movie very late one night on the horror channel (which I usually avoid due to the poor selection of movies they show) and I was pleasantly surprised. The zombie children are quite well done and the acting was OK (better than most of this kind of thing).But I feel the movie leans more towards the Peter Jackson (although I must point out that this movie was released a year before bad taste was) way of doing A zombie flick rather than George A Romeros wonderful masterpieces. Not that this is a bad thing just different.The effects are up to a point quite effective in my opinion but when it comes to what I suppose to be the big effects near the end of the movie are a bit of a letdown.overall well worth a look but don't expect perfection

I purchased the DVD for a very cheap price and took a gamble on the film and remember reading somewhere at the time (1990)the film was being made starring Diller and Norman Fell. I thought this has got to be a hoot to see. Well....IT WAS....The story fails miserably but the special effects are great, especially when the Monster Diller mimics....well sort of.... Dillers real laugh. Diller is somewhat funny in this film and in the interview on the DVD she states "It was all in fun" and talks about the making of the film and the fun she had. Any Diller Fans will really get a kick out of the interview, especially her infamous LAUGH. I was really hoping for a funnier Norman Fell(Three's Company) but it just didn't happen,instead he was coming off as being serious. Its too bad that not all DVD'S have behind the scene interviews and trailers,etc. I purchased "CREEPSHOW" and Nothing,no interviews,behind the scenes,what the heck were they thinking,at least Boneyard later went in to get all of this coverage.

This movie cracked me up,for ten minuites it seems like a "straight" horror,then wham!!!! really really stupid stuff,like green puke and cool gore.I loved phylis diller in this,its her best role ever.The poodle was very cool too.Do not take this movie seriously,this is for fans of "the living dead" type.

The cover of this one looked very promising,so I decided to give it a try.What a let down!After reading some reviews here I expected truly scary gore-fest."The Boneyard" isn't creepy as hell,it's just boring and silly.Admittedly the make up of three dead children is excellent,but a giant mutant poodle is really pathetic.Not a great deal of gore either.I would recommend this only to the most diehard horror fans.
