3/5
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. Go to Full Review

3/5
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Ayeen Forootan In Review Online 08/27/2024
...an amusingly kitschy B-movie that emphasizes its core as a lighthearted romp and deliberately unburdens itself of any unnecessary or heavy-handed messaging. Go to Full Review

Jim S Feb 22 Almost farcical in it's stupidity. Some of the actions the characters take actually made me laugh they were so stupid. The dialogue seems totally forced and the timing between actors is very staccato like. The cowboys seem phony and just don't have ring of realism about them at all. If not for the interesting twist at the end I would give this movie a zero. Don't waste your time. See more Sarfaraz A 10/23/2024 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. See more sebastian andres o @Yoamoalcine 09/22/2024 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. See more B P 09/09/2024 A Character-Driven Horror-Western With Heart. ‘Place of Bones’ is a serviceable effort thanks to a strong emotional core and effective performances. See more William W 09/09/2024 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. See more Tina A 09/07/2024 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. See more Read all reviews
