Bone Keeper (2026)

[bunniefuu]

Yeah.

My grandfather was a journalist.

My mom.

She was just a little girl when it

happened.

An adventurer, my mom called him.

Anything or anywhere for a story.

Something was wrong in those caves.

I have to go exploring down there.

His disappearance affected her every

single day.

I know she went there, looking for

answers.

Now all I have left of them both is this

old journal.

But it's a start.

I called everyone.

What do you mean, everyone?

Ethan, Nick.

Ethan?

He's in the TA and...

What are the police doing?

We can go down there ourselves.

We can try and find her.

I can't ask them to do it.

How are you holding up?

Whoa, check out that view.

Better hope we've brought enough

food and stuff.

I haven't seen a shot for miles.

Wow.

Cataloged everything from my side, so

from a scientific perspective at least,

we're covered.

Of course they have.

Hey, no way, is that... Holy sh*t. It's

her. It's b*tch Hiker.

For real.

Who? Ashley Winters.

The travel vlogger. She goes all over

the country doing all sorts of cool

Sorry, b*tch Hiker. She has like a

million followers.

Ethan, stop. This isn't a joyride.

I am. She's been a good Samaritan. Her

videos are insane.

We're here for Olivia's mum.

I really don't think this is a good

idea.

Anyway, she might know the area.

We don't have enough space in here.

Sure we do. She can always share with

me.

And the b*tch hiker strikes again. Never

underestimate the power of the thumb,

people. Two thumbs, Sawyer.

Nick.

Ashley Winters, right? The b*tch hiker.

The one and only. Are you guys fans of

the channel?

Huge fans.

So, where are you headed?

I'm actually looking for a haunted

castle in Scotland. I'm hoping to spend

night alone with some ghosties.

What are you guys doing in the middle of

nowhere?

Oh, we're going to explore some local

caves.

There's this legend about the, uh,

something called the Bone Keeper.

Are you serious?

Like a monster hunt or something?

Um, well, it's more just a legend,

really.

You know, like a myth.

We're heading to some cabins a few miles

up if you fancy jumping in the back.

Are you serious?

Are you seriously inviting a stranger on

our trip?

Yep.

Same old Ethan.

All right, fans, we might have had a

change of plans. I think we found

more exciting than ghosts. Guys, right,

this is supposed to be a serious

expedition, yeah?

Agreed. I vote no.

What's the deal with this bone keeper?

Oh, I'm just going to record everything.

Is that okay with everyone?

I film everything.

Absolutely. More cameras the better, I

say.

Great.

Perfect.

Okay, b*tch Hiker fans, meet my new

friend.

We are on the hunt for this mythical

bone keeper.

Sounds terrifying, right?

What is it?

It's a local myth about a creature in a

cave that collects human bones.

Well, there's more to it than that.

Oh, no, this is perfect.

It's exactly the kind of content that my

fans like.

It's not just a myth.

Olivia's mum went missing looking for

it.

At least we think so.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

Sorry. I didn't know.

If you want me to back off, I completely

understand.

No way. Look, your vlogging could really

help. More attention means more eyes on

the search, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's true. Well, I have a decent

amount of followers of...

We can help you find your mum in any

way. My channel's all yours.

What do you get out of it?

Well, content, obviously, but I can help

with expenses too, like travel, food,

anything. And I've got a portable

sleeping mat, so I won't even take up

See? She's practically paying her way

already.

I guess this just got a little bit more

interesting.

A whole lot less scientific.

It's like a nature.

Oh! It's absolutely stunning.

And check out all the equipment these

guys have prepared for some serious

campaign.

I hear this place is rich in some pretty

rare mineral deposits.

If you go deep enough.

Just waiting to be discovered by human

hands.

My posh bath and all.

Yours is one with the outdoor shower,

mate. Just like the way you grew up.

Oh, f*ck you.

Bitchhiker Nation, welcome to the base

camp for our Bonekeeper expedition.

I know I was supposed to be exploring

Scottish castles that were haunted this

week, but when adventure calls for

something this juicy...

Now check out this place.

Total horror movie vibes, right? But in

a cozy way.

These views are the dive wall.

Hopefully not literally.

Kidding.

Now the real story is Olivia.

Her mother went missing in this cave and

monster or no monster, something

happened to her and we are going to find

answers.

Lovely. What is it?

It's my mum.

She used to sing it to me when I was a

baby.

She used to call me.

And I recorded it for me the next day.

It's

been a lifesaver at

times.

My dad used to play ABBA to get me to

sleep.

Which one do you fancy then?

Do you reckon they'll be out for it?

Mate, it's pretty obvious how it's going

to go down. We're going to the caves.

Ravi's going to be creaming over the

stalactites or whatever.

The girls are going to be cold and

tired. It's dark, so we'll keep close to

them. Make them feel safe, right?

There's no creatures, none of that

bullshit down there.

They'll see some bats and freak out.

We'll be in like Flynn.

Flynn?

Errol Flynn.

Who?

The black and white actor that used to

shag all the women.

Don't you know anything?

Are we interrupting something?

Nothing much.

Sorting out some gear.

Yeah, helmets, lights, torches, snacks,

emergency blanket.

Emergency blanket?

Well, yeah. Really? Better to have it

and not need it than need it and not

it.

You want to see what's in the other

pack?

Look,

it's getting dark.

We should probably start looking for

Harrison.

There's a local pub you've seen at a few

times, so it might be a good place to

start. I could go for a pint.

Yeah, good idea.

What can I do you for?

Three pints of whatever's local, a red,

a white and three packets of crisps,

please. Come from far?

All over the place.

What brings you here?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Try me.

I've seen it all and heard it all.

Two days ago, someone took a piss right

there where you stood.

Cleaned it all too.

Nice. So don't be shy.

Let it all out.

This place is like a confessional.

All right.

We're looking for someone, actually.

Someone that knows about certain cave

systems around here.

He goes by the name of Professor

Harrison.

We heard this was his local and thought

we'd have a little chat with him.

About what exactly?

Our friend's mum's been missing.

And, uh...

We think she might come to the caves.

Then why would she do something stupid

like that?

This gentleman's bothering you, Linda.

Do you need us to operate the door

policy for you?

I'm ready for that.

What about you, lad?

Guys, look, we're just going to have one

drink and then we're going to be on our

way, OK?

Is it just one drink, Linda?

Sure.

They seem like nice people.

Be a shame to see them get hurt.

So.

Stay away from the caves and keep your

bones where they belong.

Bones, eh?

So you believe in all that stuff?

And what stuff would that be?

The Bone Keeper.

That's what the papers called it, isn't

it?

The thing that's lurking in those caves.

The Bone Keeper.

I quite like the name myself. What about

you, Nick?

I mean, it sounds better than Bigfoot,

right? That just sounds like a Bigfoot.

Or Nessie, Loch Ness.

Wasn't that just a trick by the locals

to get the tourists to buy more

sandwiches?

Do you even sell sandwiches here?

You think you know something about

what's in those caves?

No?

Well, we're going to find out.

Joe, your pint.

It's going to be your last one.

Raskin.

So you believe in light, do you?

Creatures and stuff.

I believe.

Unless you want to get burnt, stay away

from the fire.

You get me?

Maybe putting out the fire is a better

option.

How are you going to do that?

We're going to find it fast.

You know this fella?

Yeah.

I know him.

But he's not going to tell you nothing.

Ruskin, was it?

Um, I'm Annabelle. This is Olivia.

Her mum went missing about two weeks

ago. We think Professor Harrison might

able to help. Please. Okay, we've come a

long way, and I can't go back without

trying.

If you could just tell us where we can

find him.

All right.

But you'd better time for me to get his

a*s back down here, because we're not

selling enough whiskey.

He'd be hiding away.

Okay.

You sure you don't mind if I turn him up

at this time of night?

Give him a chance.

Yeah, I mean, he might be in the loo or

something.

Oh, he's dead already.

Whoa. Whoa.

Whatever you want.

I'm not in the mood.

So go away while you've still got faces.

Do you see any balaclavas here? What I

see is a g*ng of rural thieves.

Intending to threaten me.

Please, we just want to talk. I don't.

Look, listen, we know about the cave.

Can you just talk to us, please?

Please. Look, please.

Well, that went well.

Sorry, Liv.

Well, I'm going to go down there anyway,

so...

Professor Harrison?

I'm Olivia Wheeler.

You wrote about my grandfather, David

Wheeler.

He went missing in the cave.

I know who you are.

Look, whoever you are, whatever your

reasons, you must not go into those

Everyone who has gone in there has

remained in there. They have never come

alive.

And what do you think that is?

Well, millions of years of water pouring

through limestone creates

caves and perhaps...

concealed things that we know nothing

about.

But you know something, don't you?

Well, I may have some theories, but

that's all they are, just simple

They'll never be proved. When you'd like

to know for sure, we'll be going down

there with our phones, our cameras, all

with razor -sharp 4K.

If there's something down there, you'll

be able to see it all.

We just need to know which cave is, you

know.

The one.

Razor sharp 4K.

Do you know where those images will be?

They will be in the cameras.

And where will the cameras be? They will

be down there.

With your dead bodies.

Wheeler's footage made it out.

That Super 8 film he took in 76.

I processed it.

With my own hands.

That's why I know it's real.

Now, people say it was a fake, but I

know, I know it was real. Then let us go

down there.

Let us prove that it's real.

It'll prove there's nothing down there.

We're going to go right through every

chamber.

I'm betting we'll just come out the

other side. I think we'll be fine.

Look, we will share all of our findings.

Photos, videos, everything.

We just need to know which cave.

Look, if I tell you that, I will have

more blood on my hands.

More blood?

Mr. Harrifin, you know my mother is

missing.

Yes?

Did she come here?

Yes.

So she came here looking for her father

and you told her which cave? Look, she

was persistent.

She kept on and on and on. Couldn't get

rid of her.

Did you try pointing a g*n at her?

Ethan!

Professor, we're going to go down there

with or without your help.

We have to.

If you try and find that cave without

me, it will be like looking for a needle

in a haystack in a field full of

haystacks.

Well, we just need to know which

haystack we're looking at.

That's all.

Look, we'll show all the findings to

you. The photos, the videos.

We'll give you everything you want.

Please. We've come a long way.

My mum went in there. If something has

happened to her, I at least need to try.

Yeah, and there's six of us this time.

Yeah.

The safety of numbers will help each

other.

Do you remember this?

This is my grandfather's journal.

This is all my mother got back.

Some sort of map.

The route that he took.

This is where we're going.

That first light.

We're going to keep going.

Very well.

But there's something you should see

first.

Now, you understand that this entire

cave system here is dangerous.

The descent alone is treacherous. There

are hundreds of caverns under there,

maybe thousands.

Most have never been explored, and very

few have been mapped.

play systems your whole life?

Yes, I have. But more particularly,

since I saw this footage, your

footage, and I saw it.

You see, I know that this footage is

real.

I processed this film.

It has not been faked or changed or

altered. This is what he saw.

Light screen.

You see that? That's a hot spring. The

whole system has changed because the

underneath has collapsed.

But the hot spring is still there

somewhere underneath.

And where there is a hot source of water

in a cave, there is probably an

ecosystem.

Now this is the entrance to the cave.

And here he's looking for miles.

Now we're getting quite close to it now.

Olivia, are you all right to continue?

Okay, the moment's come.

There! Oh, come on. That could be

anything. Rocks falling, camera shake,

anything. Yes.

Yes. Yes, that's what they all said.

But now let's look at this frame by

frame, shall we?

All right.

Holy sh*t, what is that? One single

frame of film, and for 50 years,

I've asked myself that very question.

What is that?

Where did it come from?

A theory. Look at that thing.

There is nothing like that on Earth, and

it made short work of your grandfather.

And have you read the police report?

Blood everywhere, all over the camera.

Extraordinary marks on the rocks.

I'm sorry, Olivia.

Why did he go back?

Because he wanted to find the proof.

He saw something in that first trip that

made him want to find the evidence.

Look, deep marks unlike anything I've

ever seen.

What animal could have done this?

And this.

Higher than any bear could reach.

You really think it's a creature?

Something unknown from another world. So

wait, are you saying that this is a

creature from another planet?

Because, I mean, that's a viral video if

we can get it, right?

Well, life could be spread by meteorites

from one part

of the universe or one part of the

galaxy to another.

Every part of Earth has been exposed to

meteorite activity.

In fact, there is one quite close to

that cave.

So let me get this straight.

You're saying an extraterrestrial being

landed on Earth and the first thing it

decides is to take residence in one of

these caves?

I know. A cave is the nearest thing we

have on Earth to space.

It is timeless.

There is no day, no night. You can't

actually be serious.

Look, I know it sounds absurd. Listen to

yourself.

Creatures, aliens, what's wrong with

you? I know it's extraordinary.

Extraordinary? It's just an old wives'

tale. Her mum's missing. You're rambling

on about aliens. Because I've seen it!

I have seen it, and it attacked me.

I was

a 12 -year -old boy.

I was playing in the woods, and I was

exploring, and I wanted to find where

meteor had hit.

I

heard

something in the cave, and it was an

animal voice, but it wasn't any animal

I'd ever heard.

It grasped my leg.

I have never felt such pain.

I don't know how I got myself free, but

I did, and I ran.

Four

operations.

Blood poisoning.

It nearly lost me twice.

The doctor said it could have been some

sort of wild dog.

Wild dog?

All right.

Well, you've seen what I've seen, and

you know what I know.

You still want to go down there?

I will tell you where it is.

On these conditions, one that you stick

together.

Two, that you do not seek the creature.

What you must do is find some tiny bit

of evidence, anything.

If you have that, we can send a

scientific expedition down there. If the

expedition could actually find what I

think is down there, you will have

a measure of real scientific immortality

because you will have helped answer one

of the greatest questions that has

always been around.

Okay.

Wow. Look at the formation.

This is the site of the impact crater.

Several hundred thousand years ago.

So, we going down or what?

Let's do it.

Yeah,

this is definitely it guys.

Okay, we need to pack down light. It's

going to be pretty cramped down there

we're going to feel everything we carry.

So, done what you don't need and fuel

up.

Hard hats on.

Torches, water.

Make sure you've got enough. It's going

to be hot down there.

Everything you're not bringing, stash it

in.

Think of Batman.

Hey, BitTiger Nation.

This is it. The moment of truth. The

infamous Geary Chase.

The home to the so -called Bonekeeper.

I'm going to be honest.

I don't believe in monsters.

But the people that we're missing,

something happened to them.

And we are going to find the truth. That

is a b*tch hiker promise.

Hey, Ashley, you ready or what?

Cutie, cool.

Oh, and if I don't come back, delete my

browser history.

Just kidding.

The b*tch hiker always comes back.

That's my brand.

I'm with you, okay?

Maybe step it away.

I feel like she's here.

Like she came here, you know?

And you're here for them both?

Seriously, guys?

Well, I can imagine it smells pretty bad

down in them caves about us

contributing towards it.

And as much as I love you guys, I don't

want to be tripping over a rock into a

puddle of you.

So I suggest you get out now.

Good.

Okay, this is it.

Ready? Yeah.

Ladies first?

Just kidding.

Good? So it's been on for a while.

Yeah.

It's definitely pretty stable.

Okay, keep going.

I think we should keep heading this way.

That's right.

Okay,

mind that.

Jump.

Okay, let's go.

How deep is this?

Not deep enough.

This is the first of many levels.

Great. Well, if you want to quit now's

the time. You can head back, warm up the

tents, maybe get some beans, some

sausages, and we'll see you on the other

in the morning.

How weird is this?

What is that?

Let me see.

Ravi, have you got the tools?

Yeah.

It's a pretty lightly organic deposit.

Probably from an organism of some kind,

I imagine.

Yeah, so this one contains phosphate,

chloride, definitely

sulfide, and nitrate.

It's pretty cool.

Want to grab a sample?

Definitely.

Sure, it's hydrophobic.

Meaning? Like it's acid or something,

right?

No, that's hydrochloric.

Hydrophobic. The literal translation is

fear of water.

Hydrophobic molecules are non -polar,

meaning the atoms that make the

do not produce a static electric field.

What made it then?

I'm not quite sure.

But hopefully once we've tested it with

these samples, we'll be able to tell

what the species is from.

Well, you have to keep doing those while

we're down there.

You're not going to be able to upload

them until we're out anyway. I'm going

collect all my assets. There we are.

And now I've just thought again, can I

just get like 30 seconds of silence?

No, actually, if they're here, catch us

up.

Unless you're scared and maybe you want

someone to stay with you.

I need to pee anyway.

It's too bad there's one stone.

When you guys are done with the science

lesson, let's keep going.

Come in.

I'll just be a sec.

Suit yourself.

What's the holdup?

There's a way through here, guys.

Ethan?

Nick, if that's you guys this isn't

funny.

Maybe we should stop for a minute.

Okay?

Figure out where we're going next.

Well, there's two chambers.

What do you want to do now?

We should split into two groups.

Harrison literally said stick together.

Well, according to this, it says the

chambers will meet up again further

so... Look, we are sticking together,

just in two groups, okay?

It's up to you, but unless we fully

explore both tunnels, we haven't fully

explored the whole cave system.

Yeah, exactly.

That's the whole point of coming, right?

Yeah.

All right, come on, guys, let's just

take a vote, yeah?

All in favour of splitting into two and

covering both?

Wait.

Ashley hasn't caught up with us yet.

Do you really think it's a good idea for

us to split into two groups without

her?

Yeah.

Yes.

Okay, well, why don't you go back, pick

whatever tunnel you fancy, and if you

see a little corner on the way, maybe

get cosy for a bit.

See you on the other side.

Great choice of words.

Cool. Let's do it.

Okay, I feel okay.

Ditto.

Keep safe, mate.

The composition could be dead animals or

something lovely

We should get a sample of that. Yeah.

No way.

No. I can't take a piece of someone's

head.

Give it to me.

Seriously?

That's great evidence.

Salt and vinegar all over it.

Well, yeah. It probably acts as a pretty

decent preservative, right?

Come on.

They're going to get way ahead of us.

Let's go.

Move.

Ashley! Ashley!

Ashley, are you there?

Ashley!

Ashley!

Claire?

that's funny

Does anyone get that feeling like

they're being watched?

It's probably just Nick.

He's a bit of a perv.

You'll want to talk.

It's a limestone structure.

Clay deposit.

It's pretty cool.

Oh my god, what is that?

Bradley, look.

Hey girls, come on.

Hey girls, you okay?

Those bones look human.

Yeah.

And fresh.

Look at that.

That is weird.

Just certainly.

I don't know, I thought I...

You

all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

What the hell was that?

It's destabilising the structure.

No, Nadia, I don't think... Why not?

Nadia, be careful.

I'll get this closer.

Bradley, are you getting this?

Get it, record it, record it.

Oh, yeah.

Amazing.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

It's the kind of new species I've...

I've never seen it before.

I've kept you close.

Leave the gear behind.

That's not rust.

And that wasn't torn by the rocks.

We should keep going.

Sounds like...

Okay,

if we can squeeze through then.

We can make it up, right?

Okay.

Let's go.

Breathe in.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh,

my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh,

my God.

Oh my God. What is that?

Guys,

we need to run.

It was a trophy of all of us. It was a

trophy.

We have to run.

Come on.

All the way up.

What is it?

What was that?

I don't know.

I think they're everywhere.

They're everywhere. They're everywhere.

You can see it.

They don't like the light.

Come on, wake up. Robbie, wake up.

Robbie, wake up. Quick, give me

light. Robbie, put them.

Get them. Get the lights on.

Quick, get them to put them.

The lights, get them.

Come on.

Thank you.

I couldn't do it.

I need to keep moving.

Which way?

We're lost, Ethan.

There's no way we can follow the map

now.

I don't think we can be anywhere.

There's a ramp.

Look.

There's a slope.

Let's try this way.

Come on. What about Nadia?

And Nick?

We have to assume that...

Wait,

wait, wait.

Can you hear that?

It's just the wind roughing through the

cave.

No, no, no.

Listen.

Ethan. We're going back for him.

Ethan.

We need to stick together.

Let's get Ravi out.

We'll come back.

Let's go.

That's it.

They're not following.

Not even the moonlight.

I'll be back.

Don't go far.

I got you. I got you.

I still my leg. I still my leg.

Lydia? Annabel?

Ethan? This way.

Ethan?

Over here.

Please get him in the tent. There's a

first aid kit as well.

We lost signal.

About a mile back.

I'm going to go call Phil.

Okay?

I'll come with you.

I'll be faster on my own. Stay here.

I'll be back.

Be careful.

All of us.

Do what?

All of us.

I can't believe we made it out.

We're not safe yet.

This is all my fault.

It's not what we think.

It's older than people.

No, you're here first.

No, you're here first.

He's burning up.

The fever. He's probably got an

infection.

Inside you.

Here comes you.

You heard me, Ravi.

I knew.

Ravi.

Ravi, you heard me. You saw.

I think you need to rest a bit.

I need to get some sleep.

Harrison.

Professor. Listen, you were right. You

were right about everything and

something. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down,

boy.

Stop. Breathe.

What happened?

Are you f*cked up, man? It's a f*cking

nightmare down there. There's people

f*cking parts of people everywhere.

It's not a cave, it's a f*cking nest.

It's a f*cking nest, man!

Ethan! Say something, Harrison, please.

Please, I don't know how long we've got.

Take a breath.

Olivia,

is she safe?

Yeah, Olivia's safe.

She's safe. She's with Annabelle and

Ravi by the tent.

But, um, Ravi's hurt. He's hurt real

bad. There's blood everywhere.

Did you?

I saw something. It was like nothing

I've ever seen. It was merged with parts

Nick and... I don't know what I saw,

okay, but... Ashley's missing.

Nadia's missing.

I think they're dead.

Do you have proof?

Do you have proof?

I'm sending more than that.

Brace yourself.

Right.

Send me everything you've got.

The police will need evidence. You have

my email.

Please, be quick. It's a bloody mess.

I'm not sure how long we got left.

Well done.

Well done.

Well done.

In that weird wall.

She never took that necklace off.

She can't.

I need to go back in, Annabelle.

I need to see if that was her necklace.

I need to know.

Come on, come on.

Morrie? Harrington here.

You wanted proof?

I've got you proof.

Somebody's out there.

I heard something.

I heard it too.

Did you hear that?

I suggest you get your men over there.

Armed.

Ethan?

Ethan, is that you?

Burn!

There's a woman inside.

I don't give a damn who's in there.

We're blowing that case. Get your hands

Primary site secure.

Evidence of casualties.

Secondary search underway.

Mama, it's been a lifesaver at times.

We're going to blow the cave in three

minutes. I need everyone out. Let's go!

It's okay.

You're going to be okay.

You're going to be okay.

Where am I?

You've been in a coma for six months.

The good news is, not only are you going

to make a full recovery,

you're a baby too.

You are.

Let's have a quick look, shall we?

No,

no, no.

Thank you.

Yes, Home Secretary.

Six went in.

One was saved.

Yes, I know. There is a point I wish to

make, Home Secretary.

Blowing the entrance of the cave does

not end the matter.

There could be passageway to other

caves.

And we do not know how many of these

creatures are, or indeed, what is their

nature.

May I suggest we actually send an

expedition from there, properly armed,

ascertain the nature of the threat.

For I believe it could be an existential

threat.

That poor girl.

Now, that's not something we're going to

forget about in a hurry.

Well, you've just got to forget about

it.

That's what that bonus money's for.

Not a word outside this building.

Got it?

Take care, man.

You too.

Come on, Matthew, let's get it together.
