Kristen is tending to her terminally ill husband Alex, who is dying of a degenerative bone disease. When the doctors cannot help her, she turns to Alex's long time friend, Thomas, who shows her an alternative medicine. Crushing up old bones and mixing with meat, Thomas keeps Kristen fully supplied. What seems to be helping Alex, soon begins to show drastic side effects. Unknowingly, Alex calls an army of zombies as he begins to turn into a necro junkie. He must feed on the bones of others to stay alive. Will anyone escape the epidemic?

     Director Brian Paulin shows an excellent example of what you can do on a low budget. Although some of the sound effects are really cheesy, the gore and zombies are top notch. It would appear that most of the budget went to the effects. For a movie with a limited budget, the gore effects and zombies are definitely top notch.

     The zombies in this film are not your regular, run of the mill grease paint zombies. When I first saw the zombies, the first thing that popped in my mind was the old Fulci Zombies. You also get to see a nice little scene involving worms, which again, reminds me of the old Fulci movies.

     The movie gets off to a slow start. Just at the point when I was thinking that it wasn't going anywhere, the blood begins to flow. Once the blood flow begins, it doesn't let up. Gut munching, faces ripped off, people torn in half, heads bashed open, and that's just scraping the surface. Each death gets more and more intense.

     The acting in the film was done very well for a low budget film. There is some very good talent seen in this film. With director Brian Paulin as Thomas, the caring, yet twisted best friend. The very hot Ruby Larocca as Thomas's innocent, unsuspecting wife. Also, the very hot Darya Zabinski as Alex's caring wife. Then we have Rich George as Alex, the dying, turned necro junkie who feasts off human bones.

     Being a zombiephile myself, I tend to be very skeptical when I watch zombie movies. I don't expect too much, because most of the stuff out there are just rehashes of the Romero classics or rip offs of Fulci. Sometimes you even get rehashes of rehashes. Not with this film. Bone Sickness is its own stand alone zombie film. It was a very pleasant surprise to see something different. This was one of those films that were actually a lot of fun to watch.

     Of course, as with a lot of horror fans, this won't appeal to everyone. Personally speaking though, I really enjoyed it. If you want a high caliber film full of CGI effects with a Hollywood budget, then you should pass on this. BUT, if you are looking for a good zombie film with plenty of in your face gore and carnage, and don't mind the low budget, definitely check this one out. I was very happy with this film, and glad it is part of my collection. 

I rate this one a 7.75 out of 10 hot chics with a nice rack getting ripped in half.
