Three facts about Bone Tomahawk on Amazon:

  • Development of Bone Tomahawk began in 2012. Filming began in 2014. The film was released in the US one year later.

  • Bone Tomahawk: A horror western with a dark ending

    In Bone Tomahawk we follow the four men for long stretches as they try to make their way through the frontier. It is a journey that leads ever deeper into the heart of darkness, until in the end nothing remains but Dust and hopelessness. S. Craig Zahler is not necessarily known for uplifting films.

    As in Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Dragged Across Concrete, with each passing minute of Bone Tomahawk the horror increases, captured in brutal, graphic images. At Zahler the disaster is brewing long time. Then the situation escalates and not even a sheriff can restore order.

    The four experienced men who paid the Journey to Hell are increasingly falling apart. It is not the horror they are confronted with that is disturbing, but also the horror that lies deep inside them. The result is an incredibly hard western, the likes of which you have definitely never seen before.
