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.

Bone Tomahawk | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tara Brady Irish Times Ultraviolence aside, there's plenty to admire about this innovative genre-bender. Rated: 4/5 Feb 23, 2016 Full Review Bone Tomahawk | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 Bone Tomahawk | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 Bone Tomahawk | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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 Bone Tomahawk | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 Bone Tomahawk | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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.

Txxag94 T SO SLOW!But then once you get into it, you feel compelled to stay in. What a mistake!Don’t understand how it has the ratings that it does. Definitely could have skipped the cannibalism. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Julie R I really thought this would be a good movie based on the cast. I’m so disappointed in the whole thing. Worst movie I’ve ever seen Kurt Russell star in . Very slow and hard to follow. One star was being generous. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Zach C This is a perfect example as to why you can't trust Rotten Tomatoes "critic" reviews. Slow, boring, bad dialogue, with it's only redeeming quality is an A-list cast. The scenes are shot poorly. There are scenes added that are nonsensical, which is just poor editing, and the reveal at the end is not worth the 2 hour slog of a wait. Don't waist your time. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Jayne M The story line was horrible. It was slow, the blood an gore added nothing to the movie and the ending was bad. Not for me. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Chad S YEEES!!! Very entertaining!!! Violent for sure!! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Dale P Extremely good movie, very much unlike the general pop trend these days, thank God.Bring plenty of popcorn. This is a long one. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
