"What do you get if you fuse together a late teenager ostensibly locked away from the world for her own good by her Father, a razor thin and slightly older drifter who adores the glam rock band Kiss and another much older drifter who is toe-curlingly creepy and, like his younger outsiders from society, able to smell the near death and decay of a fresh corpse ripe for eating? Insert a 1980’s inspired soundtrack including Joy Division, New Order, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran and the aforementioned Kiss (plus a couple of early 1990’s tracks from my favourite band Radiohead that I didn’t pick up on during my first watch) and weave all of these musical choices around a gentle piano and acoustic guitar musical accompaniment from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and you have Bones And All, and you have a disturbing love story like no other.

Based on the 2015 novel of the same name written by Camille DeAngelis and written here for the screen by David Kajganich, Bones And All is the thirteenth feature length film directed by Luca Guadagnino and he follows his critically acclaimed duo of films Suspiria and Call Me By Your Name with this cannibal horror love story and road trip through 1980’s America".

The above is an extract from my spoiler free review of "Bones and All" that I originally penned and published to my Medium blog site on 30th March 2023 and the review can be read in full here:
