Bone Tomahawk

A slow burn with great one-liners and horrific scenes of graphic violence. This isn’t for everyone and it’s not meant to be. It’s not your traditional western or horror film, so you should be a fan of both before watching this

If you enjoy pulp fiction, weird fiction, or horror then you will enjoy this film. If the idea of a Western take on The 13th Warrior sounds appealing, then you will enjoy this film. I'm not sure what other viewers were expecting, but it's clear that the classic approach to strange and horrific adventure stories is lost on modern audiences. It's possible that some people saw that it was a Western and stars Kurt Russel and thought that they were in for a more traditional White Hats vs. the dangers of the West-type experience. All of this being stated, and my recommendation given, if you are squeamish then you should probably not watch this movie.

It’s a western on the cover but, oh… it’s so much more. The dialogue alone is worth the price. I went in with only the idea I was watching a western but I was surprised at what unfolded. It’s 2023 as I wrote this review and this came out in 2015. I’m ashamed I slept on this film and am only seeing it now. WOW.

I like westerns, I like Kurt Russel movies….. a little surprised when I saw them split his Deputy in half … seems like I felt it all the way my self… whew….. but I thought it was a good movie to watch….. for you complainers…. Folks like you always have a need to complain about something.

I absolutely love this film.

Based on what people were saying BT sounded pretty good. However, it didn’t connect in me in anyway. The actors were fine and all while the dialogue seemed very weak and subpar. I now have to find new friends for suggesting this bland film.

Ignore the bad reviews. This is an awesome character driven movie. If you are into brainless action movies and minimal story this won’t be for you. If you are into movies with good stories and suspense this is for you.

On multiple levels this was both disappointing, and disgusting. Disappointing because I didn’t understand the lack of "rating" meant that it was dredged from the pit of disgusting. The writer(s) tried to combine a western movie with something like the "Walking Dead" movies, which I NEVER watch, and have NO desire to watch. You ruined what could have been a good western by combining these genres...It was just plain - STUPID, all the way through the plot, theme, and all - disgusting! I have always liked Kurt Russell as an actor - since all his childhood movies. This movie was a complete exception! I am SO disappointed in his willingness to take on a main role in such a "garbage" movie. I will be much more careful in my watching choices in the future when he is one of the main actors. So, so sad! I hope he will turn this around, and be a part of more the the type of movies he has done in the past. He is better than all this GORE, and STUPIDITY! Where is Holliwood getting their writers these days...It's like most of the thematic material is in the GUTTER. How about something that lifts society out of the DARKNESS. Let's be MORE ENCOURAGING, and bring more joy rather than mayhem, chaos, fighting, murderous/bloody slaying. You can’t tell me that that is good for anyone's soul. Holliwood needs to "step up!!!"

High Quality !! Perfectly put together with great characters, a true Inde film and a Western no less. Slow? not really,gore and vilence? Well it is a HORROR movie after all. I 100% think you should see this movie, I bought it because it was so beatuflly done. Plus Kurt Russel!!

If you can appreciate the poetry of hanging a sherrif's badge on the chest of an aging action hero (Kurt Russell) in a western frontier town, if you understand that the monstrosity of the troglodytes is probably very close to the experience -- however misplaced -- of the colonial settler's view of Native Americans, and if you can enjoy all that together with some Reservoir Dogs-level violence, then this is a cult-favorite for very good reasons.
