The first thing I have to get off my chest is the fact that this is one the Splatter Rampage part of Tempe Video. Usually, the category should involve savage blood spilling. Midnight Skater went overboard, Mulva and Filthy McNasty yes yes,  but this has to be the most bloodless of the pile seeing that maybe it’s a 1 out of 10 on the gore-o-meter.

A very ambitious project with a few flaws. I’ll get to that in a bit.

The Bonesetter, a century old practitioner of bones. You needed adjustment or a set back, then the Bonesetter was the man until a bad rap began his illustrious career of slaughtering the weak. Now in present time, he has somehow found his way back to the land of the living to find what he was set out to do before his untimely death. Kill, kill, kill. Children become missing and for some strange reason, the evidence points to the Bonesetter’s patterns which are being studied out by the local book worm who gets pushed around.  Which in turn meets a woman who had her child kidnapped who happened to be looking for the book on him the legend also. Small world isn't it? The 2 hook up, smash ideas of each other and make things happen. More children go missing and the closer they get, the deadlier the game becomes. A cat and mouse if you will. The deeper the story gets, the more action takes place. Reminds me of a C.S.I. Episode other than a straight out horror flick. Not to dis, just a mere opinion on the story and style. It has it’s potential but doesn’t quite deliver the full punch. The kills don’t live up to the Splatter Rampage credential, a sheer miss of  interpretation.

All in all, still not a bad feature but if brought to a 45 minute short than probably a hell of a wallop this would give.
