  • A true masterpiece; original and unique, this film combines the Western and Horror genres in a way you’ve never experienced. With a deep but simple plot — well-written, well-acted… well-executed — Bone Tomahawk is relentless and unapologetic in its honest, unintimidated cautionary tale about what happens when expansive civilization bumps up against regressive, barbarianism and savagery. This is not a movie for kids! (As an adult, I couldn’t stop seeing the “cave scene” when I closed my eyes to sleep for days afterwards [and, for some reason, also couldn’t stop thinking about splitting the turkey’s wishbone with a family member around the Thanksgiving dinner table]).

  • I have seen a lot of westerns in my 75 years; and BONE TOMAHAWK is the best I have seen this century, if not ever. It is CERTAINLY the best Western MOVIE since the Ron Howard/Tommy Lee Jone/Cate Blanchert masterpiece, THE MISSING, itself similar to THE SEARCHERS and BONE TOMAHAWK. That being said, I think the three best westerns of all time are actually, in ascending order, LONESOME DOVE, BROKEN TRAIL and, best of all, HELL ON WHEELS.

  • Caught this late one night. And whilst watching it, Found it had some great characters and a good story. And some excellent violence in it. Very highly recommended. If horror/westerns appeal to you.

  • I give Bone Tomahawk 4 stars. One of the best Westerns ever made. That gory scene made the movie more Believable. But the best Western ever made is Clint Eastwoods The Unforgiven W

  • Great movie would love to see a BM worthy of cinematic and literal excellence. Pretty good article also.

    Bone Tomahawk is awesome if you have n ot seen it and like campy B type horror movies . The acting is phenomenal and the characters make the stage. I found this one night right after it first came out and was Kurt Russell Sid haig sure let's give a go. I was blown away and the climax in the cave with the whistle, it don't get no better and entertaining. I can be a movie snob but this is definitely worth the watch if nothing but for the shock factor. Have you even read Blood Meridian?
