When an indigenous tribe kidnaps a group of white settlers, Sheriff Hunt (Kurt Russell) and some of his comrades-in-arms prepare for the chase. The natives of the area are considered mystical cannibals.But the man-eaters are not the only danger,that threatens Hunt and his troop on the hunt.
Watch the trailer for Bone Tomahawk here:
The western byS. Craig Zahler(Brawl in Cell Block 99) benefits from a gripping dramaturgy that leaves no time for long pauses for breath during the chase. Above all, however, extremely disturbing images create an atmosphere that explodes in the viewer’s mind in the finalewith all its cruelty.
Only extremely few films manage to combine the western and horror genres so masterfully and efficiently. And none of them are as relentlessly explicit as Bone Tomahawk. Zahlertransforms the often glorified Wild West into a nihilistic slaughterhouse,where the death agonies of innocents are not only accepted but greedily celebrated by murderers of all skin colors.
