Critics Consensus

Bone Tomahawk's peculiar genre blend won't be for everyone, but its gripping performances and a slow-burning story should satisfy those in search of something different.

Tara Brady Irish Times Ultraviolence aside, there's plenty to admire about this innovative genre-bender. Rated: 4/5 Feb 23, 2016 Full Review Anton Bitel Sight & Sound a funny (strange and haha) western landscape where it is all too easy to get pillaged, consumed or lost. Feb 19, 2016 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) It is mostly just an excuse for the debut director, S Craig Zahler, to whip the rug out from under you, Tarantino-style. Rated: 2/5 Feb 18, 2016 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Bone Tomahawk surges head first into violence with absolute courage and graphic disregard. Rated: 3/5 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh The thrilling performances and engaging dialogue keeps you invested up through the brutal finale, more than making up for its shortcomings in its direction. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Jordan Brooks Vague Visages 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.

Vanessa B The worst piece of crap I’ve ever watched in my life. Will never get those two hours of my life back. I should have walked out as soon as I could. Giving it a half star because it wouldn’t allow me to give it none. 2 hours of morbid junk. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Richard W This is a must see western /horror ,great acting ,great storyline ,one of the best newer westerns, Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Derek M 2 hours and 11 minutes of to me what was very very boring. it seems like they walked thousands of miles in the desert, I had initially thought before anything was going on after they started walking that it was going to be in Guinness Book of World Records for the longest walk done in a movie!!!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Chris F Bone Tomahawk is a great example of a modern western. The journey and the characters are superb. In a perfect world, we would get a Brooder spin-off movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Stephen H One of the craziest movies I've ever seen. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Good Movies Enjoyer B This movie was awesome. Sure it had a long buildup, but it was definitely worth it. It never felt slow or boring, just excellently written the whole way through. And by the last third of the movie, it had some of the most disturbing and realistic depictions of violence and gore I've ever seen in a movie. The blend of the cowboy genre and horror was an awesome fresh take on both genres. I really liked this movie, and would definitely recommend it! :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
