Review of Bone Tomahawk (2015) by Spangle — 04 Jan 2016
Bone Tomahawk is a dark, menacing horror western that really knows how to build tension and have it pay-off fantastically. Patrick Wilson, Kurt Russell, Richard Jenkins, and Matthew Fox, are all great in this one and really have chemistry as a group.
The mysterious savages who are causing havoc on their town and on the frontier as a whole are a truly terrifying group and really have no problems making you entirely terrified of them. The film is also really well shot and has a good score that fits both the western and horror genres.
My main problem here is the graphic and, really, unnecessary violence. The film is very good, but gets hampered by its apparent willingness to make its audience violently ill. There is truly no call for that and I should not have to see what this film put me through.
As an overall picture, however, Bone Tomahawk is a very well executed film that really blends horrors and westerns quite well, while also managing to be endlessly captivating.
