FULL STORY
======================================================================

Bone Tomahawk isn't for the faint-hearted: it's a brutal and bloody western 
described by Empire's resident horror expert Kim Newman as "exceptionally 
gruesome". Think Unforgiven meets The Hills Have Eyes with an engaging cast 
and some genuinely horrific violence. 

The film stars Kurt Russell as Patrick Wilson, a grizzled sheriff who sets 
out to save three people who have been abducted by bloodthirsty, violent clan 
members  and while it's often borderline unwatchable, it's also very funny in 
places. It's a very odd movie  that's nonetheless one of the best Netflix 
movies  a genre-bending blend of western, horror and comedy. Watch Bone 
Tomahawk on Netflix Is Bone Tomahawk worth streaming? 

Empire says yes: "this is as much a comedy as a cowboy horror film. Jenkinss 
free-associating mutterings are inspired and fanciful, and feisty heroine 
(Lili Simmons) has a terrific speech about how the real peril of life in the 
Wild West isnt Indians or the weather 'but the idiots'. Its influences veer 
all over the map, with stretches recalling the Coen brothers punctuated by 
echoes of Rob Zombie". 

It's "a sci-fi horror cannibal exploitation picture by way of John Ford, it's 
a deliberately paced, old-fashioned Western that occasionally morphs into a 
splatter movie," says Movie Mezzanine . Meanwhile, CinemaDope says it's "part 
revisionist oater, part Hills Have Eyes splatter-fest ... a tightly 
constructed trek into enemy territory that becomes increasingly tough to 
stomach, or shake off". 

"A few stumbles aside this is best campfire movie for some time," says Total 
Film , while The Irish Times says that "ultra-violence aside, there's plenty 
to admire about this innovative genre-bender". The Observer says it's "a 
radical fusion of disparate elements which all enhance one another 
beautifully," while Time Out says it's "Equal parts charming, strange, goofy, 
unpredictable and genuinely horrifying." You might also like 13 AMC shows are
