Bone is a strangeass movie. That’s about as eloquent as it gets. I did my Larry Cohen bid for a while, starting with the classic films – It’s Alive, Q, The Stuff – and moving around his career to all the strange stuff he’s touched. … Cohen’s low budget to a fault, his guerilla film-making style always in sync with the straight-ahead momentum of most of his movies. Even quieter affairs like It’s Alive give the sense that if a take is good enough, it’s going in the picture.
But Bone was his first deal, and while that down and dirty environment is still there, there’s a bit more wandering here, and a bit odder substance to the movie, as a result.
