Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Nigel P Directed with leisurely assurance by S. Craig Zahler (who is also the writer), this very witty, slow-burning western/horror hybrid is compelling viewing, even when very little appears to be happening. The long, talky scenes in the first half of the film work well because the dialogue is very natural and often genuinely amusing, all played by an excellent cast. When anything horrific or brutal occurs, it does so very quickly with barely any lead-up. Blink and you'll miss it. However, as the 132 minute story rolls on, these occurrences move increasingly centre-stage. Getting to that point can arduous at times, however, and things drag from time to time.The locations, stunningly filmed, perfect that balance between beautiful and unforgiving terrain. It is this environment that plays host to some stomach-churning scenes, filmed completely without spectacle, and often without the comfort of incidental music.Can this be compared to 'From Dusk till Dawn (1996)?' In that 'Bone Tomahawk' begins as one kind of film and ends up quite another, yes it can. But in other ways, not so much. Where there was an addictive sensationalist lightness to even the more gruesome moments in Tarantino's film, here all the frivolity is saved for the earlier, character-establishing scenes. There's no joking when the raiders show up. Although you have to wait rather too long to see them, it is worth it.I'm not going to name specific members of the cast because everyone is excellent, and even more than that, there are no stereotypes. Far from it. Here, personality and likability wins out over young, pretty and arrogant. If you do not have believable characters, it is that much harder to get the audience to follow them, much less invest in them. This film may well have benefited from a bit of pruning, but it is nevertheless an immersive experience, which also does something different in its approach to horror.

Páiric O'Corráin Bone Tomahawk. This film has some usual Western tropes: Indian Sacred Burial Site desecrated, Indians abduct a Deputy Sheriff and a Doctor, The Pursuit.But this is no ordinary Western, the Native-Americans involved are Cannibals. Another Indian describes them as Troglodytes, cave dwelling inbred Cannibals (maybe they earlier abducted members of the Bean Clan).This is both a Savage Western and a Cannibal Holocaust film. People are butchered alive, decapitated, limbs severed. Yet another film to be avoided by the faint-hearted and squeamish. 8.5/10.

dduiven See this! Bone tomahawk has a 7.1 rating (?) Haha this is utterly unfair! See this movie. Its insane

OneEightNine Media I think it was someone on ScreenJunkies who recommended this but yeah; I wish I never watched it. Simply because it is a below average film. The director and budget are to blame. It is not even worth watching just for the action. The Blu-Ray cover is more entertaining than the actual film. This is a three point seven kind of deal but I'm giving it a one out of ten because it cost me 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.
