Reviews:
“There are some fun twists in this and it does a lot that works despite its budget instead of worrying about what won’t work with the budget. After all, ideas don’t cost anything and this movie has a really intriguing premise. It also spends plenty of time letting us get to know the leads and care about them before the horrific moments happen.” B&S About Movies
“My main problem with Bad Bones was the script’s lack of answers to just what was going on with the house […] Bad Bones is a quietly effective film that delivers a sense of unease for a large part of its running time. Those who can take their horror without special effects and jump scares should find it worth their time.” 3.5/5 Voices from the Balcony
