The Bones

About This Movie

So, 'The Bones' is this intriguing blend of animation and horror that really dives into the darker sides of Chile's history. The plot centers around a girl who, using actual human corpses, channels the spirits of two really notable Secretaries of State in order to break the chains of feudalism. It’s not your typical animated fare, more like a haunting folk tale brought to life. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative at times, which adds to its eerie atmosphere. The visuals are striking - a mix of grotesque and beautiful, especially with the practical effects when the ritual unfolds. It’s distinctive in how it approaches themes of power and legacy, really makes you think.
