Plot Summary
BONES (2025) is a haunting descent into the darkest corners of the human mind, blending forensic science with psychological horror. Set in a grim metropolis plagued by a series of ritualistic murders, the film follows Dr. Ezra Graves (Cillian Murphy)—a forensic anthropologist with a traumatic past—as he’s pulled into a web of cryptic messages and disturbing remains scattered across the city.
Partnered with the sharp and skeptical Detective Lara Quinn (Florence Pugh), Ezra uncovers a chilling pattern: each victim’s bones are arranged in symbolic formations linked to ancient burial rites and forgotten mythologies. The deeper they dig, the more personal the case becomes—revealing that Ezra himself may be the key to stopping a killer known only as The Bone Man.
What begins as a murder investigation spirals into a psychological game of cat and mouse, as truths are unearthed that were never meant to see the light of day.
