Rap superstar Snoop Dogg struts with supernatural style through Bones, a gothic horror entry from former Spike Lee cinematographer-turned-director Ernest Dickerson. Dogg plays the pimplike neighborhood "protector" Jimmy Bones, who returns from 20 years in the grave to avenge his murder just as a few earnest teenagers turn his abandoned and dilapidated brownstone into a decadent nightclub. The film cruises like the groove of a Curtis Mayfield tune and gets extra old-school credits for casting Pam Grier as Bones's main squeeze. But the bulk of the story is an unabashed homage to Italian horror: Dickerson lovingly paints his lush wide-screen canvas in the style of Mario Bava and Dario Argento, complete with blood that's splashed around seemingly by the gallons. Dogg as Bones turns out to be the perfect avenger: He's a man of few words, but his black hat and ankle-length duster make him easily one of the nattiest-dressed undeads in memory. And while Bones has a few moments of kitschy humor, it fits the blaxploitation style and never flirts with parody. The result is an effective, savvy confluence of genres that form a modern gothic tale with a hip-hop heart. The DVD includes two mini-docs; the "Dogg Named Snoop" music video; a commentary featuring Dickerson, Dogg, and screenwriter Adam Simon; and deleted scenes. Gregory Baird, Barnes & Noble
