Review of Bone Tomahawk (2015) by Waltertsolley — 04 Mar 2018
Chilling, effective horror-western with a fine cast at the top of their game and a brilliantly frightening screenplay that will keep you glued to your seat until the end. The horror-western is a virtually unexploited genre (easily understood when you consider attempts such as “Billy the Kid vs.
Dracula” and “Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter”), but “Bone Tomahawk” excels both as a western and as a horror film. I can only think of two other successful attempts to marry the western with elements of the horror film: “The Stalking Moon” (1968) and “The Missing” (2003), neither of which succeed on the level of this film.
Kurt Russell and Richard Jenkins are brilliant here, and Russell remains one of the finest, most underrated actors of our time.
