Depending on one's mood, "Bones," a Gothic thriller starring hip-hop superstar Snoop Dogg, is either (a) so bad it's funny, or (b) so bad it overshoots funny and goes back to bad again. In both cases, it's a garish, grotesque slab of silliness drowned in bloody visual effects overkill with an end result that is more horrible than horrific. Ironically, for a project supposedly tailor-made for the laid-back rapper, Snoop Dogg doesn't log a lot of screen time as a superfly ghost circa 1979 who takes care of a little vengeance-related business.
