Bone Tomahawk: 7/10
This movie was gruesome and memorable AF! It’s a film that skillfully blends western and horror, and it’s plenty effective in both departments. It’s not quite a flawlessly executed movie, but it’s a damn fun time nonetheless. The cast was very solid, aside from a few sloppy side characters who pop up at the beginning. Kurt Russell and Patrick Wilson are good, but it was Matthew Fox and Richard Jenkins that really drew me in. They both surprised me big time. The writing was very polished, the visuals were worthy, the minimalistic score was neat and the gore/tension was super impressive.
The film definitely starts off a bit slow and dry (as a lot of westerns do), but the intrigue was always there. The last 20-30 minutes is where the film really amped it up, but the lead up was really enjoyable as well. I personally appreciated the unhurried pace, but it won’t be for everyone. I’ll also say this. Don’t go into this movie expecting a complete 50/50 split of western and horror. I don’t want to deceive you. This is a western, first and foremost. It’s 70% old school western and 30% disturbing/hard to watch horror. I think “Bone Tomahawk” will leave a hardcore horror fan a bit disappointed, but even your most average western fan is going to eat this right up. It was a respectable balance of old school and new school cinema; a quality not many modern day films have. It’s not all perfect, but good luck forgetting about this one👀 It’s a western that I would definitely recommend!
IMDb: 7.1
