If you loved Bless the Child, try Bones

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

You already loved

Bones

2001 · dir. Ernest R. Dickerson

What they share

Theysit in Crime / Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bless the Child, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Bones is

1970s Harlem. A single black fedora. Betrayal runs deep when a numbers king is murdered by crooked cops and associates. Now his ghost rises from the grave. Dickerson's neo-blaxploitation horror is best enjoyed with company.
