What they share

Theysit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Fear Island, 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.
