BONE DRY is very much a cheap B-movie thriller which tries to mask a lack of budget with lots of camera tricks and stylised shots. The end result looks like it comes from the 1990s rather than 2007 and I quickly tired of the attention-seeking going on. The story is simplicity in itself, with traveller Luke Goss stranded in the desert and pursued by a vengeful psychopath, as played by the great Lance Henriksen. That's about all their is to it. Goss certainly goes through hell here and seems to be tortured or humiliated constantly, but the lacklustre writing saps this of strength and only Henriksen is reliably entertaining. The twist ending isn't too bad but it's a little late by that point.
