Bone Alone is a low budget movie ‘inspired’ by Home Alone.

We’ve taken a look at what treats it has in store…

WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Bone Alone and Home Alone.

FURTHER WARNING: Bone Alone is not an adult film.

At the time, I thought that its legal hounds had been a bit over the top.

This, ladies and gentlemen, isBone Alone.

Thats just worth reiterating.

If youre one of those tl;dr kind of people: it isnt.

The People Behind The Bone

As it turns out,Bone Aloneis the work of The Asylum.

You also have The Asylum to thank forSharknado.

Just not for The Asylum films.

Incidentally, we should point out thatBone Alonewas actually known asAlone For Christmasin the US.

Were sure Foxs lawyers had nothing to do with that.

Lawson has several tricks to deploy.

He goes for the occasionalAlien 3-esque point of view shot.

There are several moments where things like this happen, but Id feel guilty if I spoiled them all.

It can be nothing else).

InHome Alone 2, Macaulay Culkins Kevin was reduced to throwing bricks from the top of a building.

But he never tried to drown someone, betraying science as he did so.

Thats just what the hero ofBone Alonetries to do though.

Thats the advantage of CG water right there, friends.

It might not look too convincing, but it leaves your laminate flooring in a far healthier state.

In fact, its worth going back to the hero ofBone Alonewhile were here.

Remember that DVD box?

In particular the dog at the centre of it?

Nor is he alone at any point.

That is in fact Columbus.

Anyway, back to the film.

The central premise remains the same.

Hes not a postman really, and wants to burgle the house?

Its a shocker friends, I have to tell you.

Incidentally, the first dog farting joke arrives on 22 minutes.

Another one lands on 57 minutes.

Even throwing in a free fork.

But consider some of these highlights.

Bone The Dog has a particular set of skills:He can skateboard.

He can hit people on the head repeatedly with a frying pan.

He can talk while simultaneously holding an object in his mouth.

As my wife sagely commented, its like theyve gone for a drive in Heaven.

Okay…

Just to go a bit deeper on a couple of moments for you.

At one stage, Columbus the Dog needs to escape from an SUV.

Well, with a bit of CG.

Here, it turns out that Bone has a few plans of his own.

Here is Bone scraping at the floorboards in front of the main door to the house.

Within three seconds of scraping, he has done this…

… which leads to this.

Then, Bone opens a cupboard to find this…

… which he applies to this….

Arf.

Thats my GCSE at work again)…

… which bizarrely is strong enough to lead to this.

Also, at one stage, a man is electrocuted by a toy train line.

Presumably, this is a toy train that failed rigorous Eastern European safety standards.

If youve not got the idea yet,Bone Aloneis a bit of a bizarre film.

In fairness, its not dull either.

Should you watch it?

Well, I wouldnt go that far.

Life is precious, after all.

50/50 chance, then…

Bone Aloneis available on DVD now.
