Sack of Bones

About This Movie

Sack of Bones is a curious little piece that leans into a surreal, almost unsettling atmosphere. You have June, an inept 7/11 clerk, who has this bizarre encounter with a crow that really messes with her head and brings family tensions to a boiling point with her reclusive mom. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter, almost dreamlike at times, which adds to the overall tension. It's not your typical horror flick; it plays more with psychological themes and the weight of familial obligations. The practical effects are minimal but effective, giving it a raw feel that you don't find in a lot of modern horror. The performances are certainly worth noting, especially the dynamic between June and her mother, which just seeps with dread.

Sack of Bones remains somewhat obscure, with little information available about its director or release history. There are few known formats, making it quite scarce in collector circles, and as a result, it’s garnered a niche interest among enthusiasts of independent horror. It’s the kind of film that might not pop up often, but when it does, you see collectors eager to discuss its themes and atmosphere, reflecting a unique slice of indie cinema.
