Catherine Bray Guardian It’s pretty evident that this is a fairly low-budget film, with that faint sense of hired costumes about the western gear. But it’s entertaining enough and keeps you guessing. Rated: 3/5 Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This smart, sparse, tense Western takes a fairly old story and makes it fresh again with playful dialogue, secrets hidden and revealed, and a surprisingly horrific undercurrent. Rated: 3/5 Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat The cast, led by a very game and very excellent Graham, delivers strong performances, creating engaging and deep characters. Rated: 8/10 Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Jenn Adams Strong Female Antagonist Horror fans will likely be delighted with the film’s grotesque twist, but it’s far from certain they will stick around long enough to find out what it is. Rated: C+ Sep 1, 2024 Full Review Ayeen Forootan In Review Online ...an amusingly kitschy B-movie that emphasizes its core as a lighthearted romp and deliberately unburdens itself of any unnecessary or heavy-handed messaging. Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture Place of Bones does not begin with much promise, but it slowly builds to a centerpiece sequence that is a considerable achievement of suspense and a notable use of space and distance.

Sarfaraz A Audrey Cummings directed this western thriller. Heather Graham, Brielle Robillard, and Corin Nemec make up the cast. The movie is set in the Old West and follows the story of a reclusive Christian woman and her teenage daughter who live alone without farms and have no connection with the townspeople who live miles away. One day, they come upon a seriously injured outlaw who is being tracked by his gang for killing gang members and stealing money. They ambush him, and both mother and daughter. The film delivers thrills from beginning to end, with tense situations and throbbing soundtrack. Heather, Brielle, and Corin have elevated the film with solid performances. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review sebastian andres o Canadian director Audrey Cummings delivers a successful Western that knows how to survive thanks to its good final stretch with one of the craziest climaxes of 2024. It is a low-budget film and it shows in both its production and its set design, but with all that it manages to give a fairly successful film that is strengthened by having a fairly recognized cast that gives some prestige to a simple, straightforward and somewhat everyday script, but that is inspired in its final part to compensate for all the flaws that we can find with a truly mind-blowing twist. The grace is in knowing how to solve the strong points of the script that allow you to stay away from all the situations that are happening, it knows how to use tension, drama and humor to always keep you up to date with everything that is happening, to then completely let go and give a pleasant surprise in its resolution to everything that was built up for us previously. A film reminiscent of a low-budget Western that isn't perfect, that has many simplistic things and perhaps a bit of cheesy dialogue, but in the end it is an achieved result and we end up having a film with which we really have a good time without realizing it, a rewarding bet in its right measure. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review B P A Character-Driven Horror-Western With Heart. ‘Place of Bones’ is a serviceable effort thanks to a strong emotional core and effective performances. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review William W I dont understand how this has a 70% from critics unless theyre paid. Really typical indie Western. B movie vibes. No horror aspects to speak of. Heather Graham deserves better than this. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Tina A I thought the acting wasn’t that great. Really boring, story was lacking. The twist at the end was the only interesting part of this film but it was easy to see it coming. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Lesley E The dialogue and acting in this movie is soap opera level, it's not good at all. The pacing is off and the choices the characters make are stupid, meaning the story wasn't well put together. The only thing that makes this movie worthwhile is that twist in the end, other than that, this is definitely not a film I'd consider watching again.
