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.

Noah S This movie being labeled as horror on Netflix doesn’t do it justice. It’s a unique blend of Western and horror elements, but at its heart, it’s about the raw and relentless journey of the main character. The brutal and heartbreaking scenes might not be for everyone, but they’re what make this movie stand out. It’s intense, gripping, and paints a vivid picture of the harsh and unforgiving realities of the Wild West. Definitely worth watching if you’re ready for a slower paced but well told story. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Ray T This movie was ok. Passably entertaining, but honestly expected more. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Mark W Plodding uninspiring script, simple sets, gratuitous violence, hokie unrealistic scenes Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Audience Member Definitely not for the squeamish but the dialog, pacing, some rarely seen original style/interpretation when it comes to the classic western - all brilliantly pulled off. It won't be quite what you expect, and nowadays that's usually a good thing. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Susan R Who wrote this junk?? An jumble of nutty, obscene, sloppy, gratuitous sex, violence, bad acting, and poor taste. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Carson P So good for the first hour, then it just falls apart. Endings brutal to sit through Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
