Bone Tomahawk surges head first into violence with absolute courage and graphic disregard.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 16, 2024

The thrilling performances and engaging dialogue keeps you invested up through the brutal finale, more than making up for its shortcomings in its direction.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2023

Boasting some brutally insane practical effects, horrifying villains and a really cute old man, Bone Tomahawk is an unlikely paragon of genre-blending-gone-right.

| Aug 1, 2023

Just go into it expecting the unexpected because that is exactly what you are going to get.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 19, 2022

I loved Bone Tomahawk from start to finish. It contains unconventional, memorable dialogue and doesn't treat itself like low-brow entertainment; rather, it's a grim but Fordian homage, made with an uncommon confidence for a first-time director

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 3, 2022

When this movie decides to stick its knife in oh my god does it twist and turn that thing, scraping it right along the bone clean

| Jul 2, 2021

Definitely something different for people who like westerns.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 12, 2021

It's not a film for the weak of heart, but highly recommended for anyone else.

Clocking in at 133 brisk minutes, Bone Tomahawk is a solid and fun first endeavour by S. Craig Zehler.

| Jan 15, 2021

The overt racism is palpable and, for all intents and purposes, unexplored, other than to make it so radically blatant, it ka-thunks you in the head like one of the nameless tribe's titular weapons.

| Original Score: 5.6/10 | Aug 11, 2020

...an engaging and often engrossing piece of work...

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 8, 2019

It finds its gold in the razor-sharp screenwriting and direction of Zahler, honing ace performances all-around.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 5, 2019

Zahler's film is never arduous and sports a completely fine-tuned package of superb visuals and increasingly ominous score.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 10, 2019

Each scene, no matter how much it might feel like a total non-sequitur or detour from the main narrative, always keeps the focus on character.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | May 24, 2019

A Western in spirit, but cannibalistic at heart, beautiful landscapes and meandering conversations mix with grizzly ends and an extensive runtime.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 12, 2019

It doesn't so much revise the western as bifurcates it with a genre mash of dark, gruesome and bloody originality.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 8, 2019

A sense of dread is never far away, and the violence when it comes is unremittingly savage.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 6, 2019

Bone Tomahawk is a classic, ensemble Western with a unique genre element thrown into the mix to set it apart

| Feb 2, 2019

What's really intriguing and commendable about Bone Tomahawk is that it has big ambitions that it sticks with all the way through.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 7, 2018

However, gore aside the humour's wonderfully thick and dark like molasses will have you chuckling throughout. The characters are well drawn including the female character which is a welcome trend in modern westerns.
