Bone Tomahawk

Bone Tomahawk is an amazing hybridisation of the best of Horror movies and Westerns. As an extremely rare blend of both genres, it is a really peculiar and unique movie in the best way possible. Directing is really outstanding. The quartet of actors deliver performances that are indubitably in the ranks of their bests. Photography is really great. The minimalistic atmosphere and the progressive "slow-burn" pacing make the relationships between the main cast particularly endearing (plus the dialogues are really well-written and the interactions between the characters are particularly visceral and real). Fans of both genres will be more than satisfied. Note of caution: the movie might be considered the opposite of PC (for the sake of a certain kind of "historical realism"). It is also of course really (really) gruesome in some moments. Still, it is not at all a deterrent IF you like the two genres, as the codes of both are respected in a clinical manner, and masterfully blended.

A slow burn without much music .. Great characters in a calm western, with some gruesome & disturbing imagery near the end (western-only fans,take note!) .. A nice genre-mix for the fans of both!
