Bones (Dickerson, 2001): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 6.20pm


This 35mm presentation (also screened on September 30th) is part of the Pam Grier season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.

BFI introduction:
Jimmy Bones (Snoop Dogg) is the neighborhood watchdog and numbers runner. When corrupt cops murder him and force his associates to brutalize his corpse, they have no idea of the vengeful spirit Bones and his lover Pearl (Grier) eventually unleash on the world. Two decades later, a chain of events brings Bones’ ghost back into the world. Ernest Dickerson’s chiller is an homage to Blaxploitation horror and finds Snoop and Grier reveling in their roles as glamorous gangster ghouls.
