Ultraviolence aside, there's plenty to admire about this innovative genre-bender.

a funny (strange and haha) western landscape where it is all too easy to get pillaged, consumed or lost.

It is mostly just an excuse for the debut director, S Craig Zahler, to whip the rug out from under you, Tarantino-style.

Cult status could beckon for this well-made, macabre and violent western-horror from cinematographer turned director S Craig Zahler.

It has a nice line in wry chatter and a pleasantly old-fashioned 'lost posse' plot with engaging, odd characters striving against the wilderness while swapping cynical frontier wisdom.

You'll be watching - at least, I was - with your hand clamped over a mouth in various states of aghast-ness. But the film's bloodiest moments, in a real turn-up for the books, are also its saddest.

Sep 02, 2018After a bit of a shocker beginning the film gets comfortable in rather regular Western Territory for a while. The pace is slow, but the characters interesting enough and there are odd traces of grim humor here or there. None of that prepares for the gore fest of the showdown with some of the nastiest on screen deaths you've ever seen. You gotta appreciate someone trying something fresh here, even though that's certainly not for everyone. I had to chuckle a few times and my jaw dropped to the ground just as often. Gotta appreciate that.Jens S Super Reviewer

Mar 01, 2017How seldom it is to see such a high quality film with such a low budget. Every actor puts in a terrific performance, and I absolutely loved Matthew Fox, of the show Lost (my all-time favorite TV show) and his character. The best part of Bone Tomahawk is how unpredictable it is. The writing and the plot itself are top notch and the makeup/ blood effects are sickeningly realistic. This film is violent on an entirely different level from all other horror movies, mainly at the end. The final 45 minutes is breathtaking and intense, and the 135 minute running time is fully paid off. It's a shame that this gem went unnoticed at the box office, because this is one of the best westerns I've ever seen.Kevin M Super Reviewer
