Ultraviolence aside, there's plenty to admire about this innovative genre-bender.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 23, 2016

a funny (strange and haha) western landscape where it is all too easy to get pillaged, consumed or lost.

| Feb 19, 2016

It is mostly just an excuse for the debut director, S Craig Zahler, to whip the rug out from under you, Tarantino-style.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 18, 2016

Cult status could beckon for this well-made, macabre and violent western-horror from cinematographer turned director S Craig Zahler.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 18, 2016

It has a nice line in wry chatter and a pleasantly old-fashioned 'lost posse' plot with engaging, odd characters striving against the wilderness while swapping cynical frontier wisdom.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 18, 2016

You'll be watching - at least, I was - with your hand clamped over a mouth in various states of aghast-ness. But the film's bloodiest moments, in a real turn-up for the books, are also its saddest.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 18, 2016

With this film the cowboy genre moves beyond modern and postmodern. You could call it postmillennial, post-apocalyptic, post-ironic.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 18, 2016

A precariously balanced, genre-literate oddity with something to say.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 18, 2016

Equal parts charming, strange, goofy, unpredictable and genuinely horrifying.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 15, 2016

It's never a bad time for a good western and Bone Tomahawk is a good western...

| Jan 22, 2016

Bone Tomahawk is terrifying and strange, to be sure, but it's the old-fashioned veneer that makes it beautiful.

| Oct 26, 2015

While the genre jump from John Ford to Eli Roth may be off-putting to some, it raises the stakes on a climax in a way that most Westerns fail to do.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 23, 2015

Though its cult-movie desires often show, "Bone Tomahawk" is ultimately sold by its cast, who commit fully to Zahler's discursive indulgences.

| Oct 22, 2015

A witty fusion of western, horror and comedy that gallops to its own beat.

| Oct 22, 2015

On the list of things the world needs, a mash-up of The Searchers and Hannibal is pretty far down there. But if there is going to be such a thing, the smartly cast and well-crafted Bone Tomahawk fills the bill nicely.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 22, 2015

I doubt there's a huge audience for a movie like Bone Tomahawk, but those who find it may turn it into a new cult classic.

| Original Score: B | Oct 22, 2015

Bone Tomahawk is as creepily vicious as the title implies. And it's Russell's best work in years.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 22, 2015

Viewed through the lens of Italian exploitation films, Bone Tomahawk starts to make sense.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 22, 2015

It's an uneasy mixture of bizarre character development, arty dialogue laced with black humor and gruesome horror flick.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 22, 2015

The characters are thoughtfully embellished, and Zahler's script finds occasional traction with engaging dialogue that includes exploration of the men's contrasting attitudes about marriage.
