Watch Knucklebones

Knucklebones is a horror movie released in 2016 directed by Mitch Wilson. The movie commences with a group of teenagers looking for a new thrill during their spring break. One of them finds a game called "Knucklebones", a game that involves rolling a special bone in the hopes of it landing on specific sides to summon a demon. Despite the warnings of a local seer, they proceed to play the game in the ruins of an old military base.

The summoning doesn't go as planned, and the demon possesses the bone, transforming into a flesh and bone creature with a twisted, demonic appearance. The creature then begins to hunt down the group one by one, killing them in different ways that are borderline grotesque. The survivors who remain conclude that they need to stop the demon, but they quickly discover that they aren't dealing with a normal entity as the demon seems invincible to their attempts to kill it.

The group learns that the demon is called Knucklebones, and that it was a creature born out of the rage and the bloodshed of US soldiers, who were previously posted at the base where they are playing. The demon reveals that it is there for a specific reason, forcing the group to piece together the mystery surrounding the base's history to survive the night.

The movie stars Julin as Neesa, the only female member of the group, and Tom Zembrod, as Travis the jock who leads the group. They are joined by other cast members, including the likes of Todd Jenkins as Cole, a punk rock lover, and Katie Bosacki, as Vicki, the shy and introverted member of the group.

The whole movie takes place at an old abandoned military base, which makes for a very creepy and claustrophobic setting. The director's use of jump scares is well executed and helps maintain the horror themes throughout the movie. The special effects are also well done, and the gore is used skillfully to heighten the horror elements.

One aspect that stands out about Knucklebones is the motivation behind the demon's actions. Usually, in a horror movie, the villain's motives are not thoroughly established. However, in Knucklebones, the demon has a clear objective, and it's left to the audience to discover what it is. This differentiates the film from the usual horror movie concepts as there is a sense of mystery that surrounds the demon's actions, making it more engaging for the viewer.

Overall, Knucklebones is a movie that horror enthusiasts will appreciate. The story is well crafted, the characters are well-developed, and the setting makes for an eerie atmosphere. The movie may not be the best horror movie out there, but it's definitely worth a watch for those who love the horror genre.

Knucklebones is a 2016 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 24 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.6.
