Bone Tomahawk

Basically The Descent, but set in the Wild West.

After an outlaw unknowingly leads a band of cannibalistic Troglodytes into the peaceful western town of Bright Hope, the monsters kidnap several settlers, including the wife of a faithful rancher. Despite his injured leg, the rancher joins a small rescue party with the sheriff, his aging deputy and the strong-willed gunslinger and they start a journey into the hell to descend the unknown territories of darkness where savage beasts armed with the ultimate weapon leave you no hope.

If it wasn't for the cast I'd say this would be a waste, but I'm actually kinda curious how it turns out :hmmm:

Looks interesting. I'd probably check it out.

While talking to Sarsgaard during an interview for his upcoming film, Lovelace, he called Bone Tomahawk, “'Alien' meets 'The Searchers.'" The connection to the 1956 western is obvious, but Alien? By definition, cannibalistic Troglodytes would translate to cave people who eat human flesh. Nothing extraterrestrial there, but Sarsgaard's sci-fi reference does open the door to the possibility that these monsters may not be of our world.

This actually sounds pretty interesting, might be good. Although I think horror usually works better without such well known actors but we'll see.

supposed to be out this year.

As far as cannibal films go this HAS to be better than The Green Inferno. The cast alone already makes it better. The only way this could actually be worse than The Green Inferno is if it turns into a musical and there is a climactic tap routine featuring Russell decked out in all white and doing Riverdance atop a golden outhouse.

You know what though, that sounds fucking awesome...it still would be better than The Green Inferno!

Looks like they're playing down the horror aspects. Either way, I'm in the mood for a new western, so I'm looking forward to this :thumbup:

Movie is excellent. Great pace, writing, directing and acting. Russell's best movie in a while. Awesome kills in this as well. However I wouldn't consider this a horror flick at all.

8/10

:yes:

Solid flick. Definitely more of a western than anything, though it did have some minor horror elements towards the end. Some surprisingly good gore too. Kurt Russell was great as the sheriff. He needs to do more westerns. Movie was well paced, acted, and directed. A high 7/10 from me :thumbup:

I will be checking this out. I haven't seen a decent western since the True Grit remake.

I hadn't heard about this film until today but it looks amazing. Once I heard the combination of words like “Kurt Russell-cannibalistic troglodytes-western" I was sold. I joined the site just to say thanks for the introduction to it. I will be watching this tonight.

:yes:

Fantastic film! Kurt was excellent so was the whole cast.

This is a really good movie. I've been looking for a decent western since the True Grit remake, and this one more than met my expectations. The cast was a pleasure to watch. Kurt Russell is every bit as convincible a character in westerns as he is in action movies. I wouldn't consider this a horror movie really, but then it wasn't short on brutality either. Other things like special attention to particular details also helps put this movie a cut above others.

I liked it too. Not really a horror, although very well done.

Agreed, definitely one of the best westerns I've seen in a while
