Odd but likable movie. Couple things though...the flute bone thingus was stupid. Also apparently flute bone thingus guys are fucking deaf. Still kinda dug the movie, and the dinner prep scene was very cringey. +1 Nothing like being split from the crotch up. Was pretty gory scenes but I enjoyed it. I think we all knew that the cripple would save the day at the end tho... could have had a better ending. What did you think of their "breeders" ? I laughed and said "that's the perfect woman" |

I thought it was better than "The Hateful Eight". Not even close. I loved the Hateful Eight. Most people won't like it for a number of reasons, but I thought it was great. Bone Tomahawk is nowhere near the level of Hateful Eight in terms of story, dialogue, directing or cinematography. |

It was one of the those movies that I watched and it was OK but don't know if i'd bother sitting for it again.
No real suspense just a "this happened so we will do this movie". That works for Zombie movies because we know the deal. In BT I knew they would find the girl so it was just a matter of killing time till the last act. I guess what i'm saying is it wasn't exactly "The Searchers" But OK. |

I'm watching it right now. I had been meaning to earlier and this thread just pushed me up to speed.
Have about 20 minutes left to go. The only thing I haven't liked is how stereotypical the cave people are. and WTF is up with the grunting noise / calls lol? sounds like its fake as hell

I'm a huge fan of the western genre and think it is probably one of the best westerns to be made in the last 10 years (second to the remake of true grit).
kurt russell is one of my favorites and he always delivers, much better than his portrayal of yosemite sam in that cinematic thiefs movie. how he switched from the 3 inch schofield to the 7 inch one when he left the city for the country was cool. the old side kick really was a tribute to the gabby hayes types of yesterday and nailed the role. the merwin and hubert reload is a rarity and a treat (penny dreadfuls dr frankenstein uses one - I also would love to see a replica made) the girl was cute the lost tribe had a "wrong turn", "hills have eyes" and "house of a 1000 corpses" twist to it kicked off by sid haig in the beginning. billy the kid and wyatt earp have been done to death (don't even get me started on batman and spiderman) I welcomed the old blend western with the new violence infused. also the new magnificent seven was really good they should have just named it something different and it would have performed better at the box office as brynner and mcQueen trump all challengers. |

Bone Tomahawk is nowhere near the level of Hateful Eight in terms of story, dialogue, directing or cinematography. I didn't see Hatefull Eight (and won't pay a cent to see any of scumbag Tarantino's ripoff movies). Besides Tarantino being a shill for BLM and full of crap, his movies are ripoff's of 70's movies. I read a synopsis of Hatefull 8 and it seems to ripoff the Japanese movie "Machibuse" aka "Incident at Blood Pass." Check it out. His crappy Kill Bill was obviously a ripoff of the Japanese movie "Lady Snow Blood." "Pulp Fiction" was obviously a ripoff of "Bonnie's Kids" (check out this movie which has a white guy -Alex Rocco and his black partner, hit man team. "Django Unchained" was a ripoff of the old Italian western "Django," starring Franco Nero. Tarantino seems to like to ripoff old movies and re-write the scripts with verbose characters.

Those are some quite astute observations. I agree. |

I agree the whistle thingy was a bit much but North American Indians had a brutal history, even before the white man came. Some tribes even practiced cannibalism.
If you dug the movie, you might like this book: "Empire of the Summer Moon" |
