The 2022 film "Bones and All", starring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell, has become available to stream for free on Pluto TV this month. Directed by Luca Guadagnino, who previously worked with Chalamet on "Call Me By Your Name", the film is being framed by the piece as an alternative for fans of the "Twilight" franchise, offering a similarly unconventional romance but with a much darker, more visceral twist. Its arrival on a free, ad-supported platform makes it more widely accessible than before, when it was largely confined to premium streaming or rental services.

Based on Camille DeAngelis's novel of the same name, with a screenplay by David Kajganich, "Bones and All" follows Lee (Chalamet) and Maren (Russell), two young "eaters" compelled to consume human flesh. Abandoned or isolated because of their condition, the pair form a bond as outlaws, with the film exploring themes of loneliness and connection despite its cannibalistic premise. Critics have noted that Guadagnino turns what could be a horrifying concept into a tender, if unsettling, love story, drawing comparisons to "Silence of the Lambs" while retaining an emotional core.
