| The Bone Collector Review |
| by Dragan Antulov (Rating: 4/10) |
| By the end of 1990s Hollywood producers were beginning to realise how
derivative their serial killer films were and that sooner or later the audience
would realise that too. In order to prevent that, they tried very hard to make

| “The Bone Collector” is a grisly serial killer retread that aspires to
reach the grotesquely unnerving high that “Seven” achieved with such a
controversial note in 1995. Filled with scalded, dismembered and
rat-covered carcasses, it’s not a movie you...more |

| As action/suspense movies go, this is one that ranks above average. But,
make no mistake about it -- it isn't quite in the same league with movies
like Seven or Silence Of The Lambs. Although, it does try very hard to get
there. Including generous use of...more |

| After a solid first hour of chilling suspense, this high-concept thriller
unravels completely in the final, disappointing reel. The killer’s identity
may come out of the blue, but the rationale for the killings is so
preposterous, so dependent on...more |

| /The Bone Collector/ starts off strong, with a healthy mix of

| Yes, it's thrilling, suspenseful and at times even bone-chilling. One
