The atmosphere, the characters (dat second in command deputy), the dialogue, the setting and the mood of the movie was purely excellent in my opinion. So refreshing to watch what is regarded as a horror movie, completely devoid of cheap as jump-scares. It was more of a character driven adventure film with horror elements, the way I saw it.
That genius use of silence during the most intense action-scenes really elevated the scenes, where usually you'd had these long drawn out action scenes, accompanied with 'stressful music', the confrontations in this movie are quick, silent and fatal, much like the troglodytes themselves
>What did you think, and why? >What should I watch next?
I liked it, but it just seemed..I dont know small Ii guess? Like the big fights in the end and the whole plot seemed pretty simple and short, but it is an Indie movie so it makes sense and works in the movies favor I was just hopping for a bit more of a big confrontation akin to Open range before what happened happens, but I still liked it overall >say goodbye to my wife..and Ill say hello to yours
Carson Murphy
Yeah I think the ending was weirdly 'small' like you said, but the journey there was fucking intense. And it is pretty satisfying when they beat up rhino-savage. As for that line, I read it as the Sheriff realizing himself that it was kind of a silly thing to say, so he kinda just waves him off. I guess he was scrambling for some epic last words, but came up short albeit sweet.
I have a hard time comparing this movie to anything; first thing that comes to mind is Moon which gave me a similar vibe. It's that lust for adventure combined with an eerie presence of impending doom.
One of my favorite parts is when Matthew Fox's character goes 'strap me up with dynamite and I'll kill as many as I can', then gets tomahawked in the face 2 minutes later. I guess it kinda serves as a giant fuck you to those climactic jizz-spewing blasting scenes we've grown so accustomed to when it comes to exacting revenge in the dying moments.
Jackson Robinson
comfy as fuck
Eli Cruz
I thought it was pretty badass and fit his charatcer. Polite, yet still commanding. Also Broomer killing that last troglodyte right before it kills him was pretty sweet. I wish he got to use that dynamite and take a lot of them out like he said
Landon Fisher
>tfw you get to use the german
Brayden Taylor
Was Matthew Fox good? I want that guy to have a comeback.
Jacob Wood
any of you guys read The Brigandes of Rattleborge? The Writer/Director of Bone Tomahawk wrote it in 2005 I think. Park Chan Wook was supposed to direct it at one point.
Lucas Gonzalez
I loved all the little details during the action scenes, like the trogs not understanding how guns worked and that one guy who just gets annoyed when Patrick Wilson shoots his bow in half
Zachary Williams
mathew fox was based as fuck
Jose Ortiz
he had the best performance in the film IMO
Andrew Jackson
Was it actually good or just a retarded meme action flick like 3:10 to Yuma?
Levi Phillips
Come to think of it, fucking dynamites weren't even used at all. It's established at the beginning of the mission that they're bringing it - I like how this messed with my expectations of what was going to happen. Same with the encounter with the mexicans, it's somehow down-to-earth, thrilling without being really spoon-fed to the viewer.
It felt kinda like I'm watching a horror movie, except it's competent characters faced with a savage threat.
Eli Williams
>budge: 1,8 mill USD This shit always makes me simultaneously so happy and so sad It's great seeing filmmakers doing so much with relatively so little But then you realise 100 Bone Tomahawks could be made for the budget of the average capeshit and then I get sad also, highlights what happens when your film isn't a money laundering scheme
Beasts of No Nation did a similar thing for me
Michael Jenkins
>make Bone tomahawk thread >nobody talks about THAT scene
Shocking.
Ryan Butler
Actually good, genuine suspense throughout the film, and pretty innovative establishing of atmosphere through lack of music and emphasis on character dynamics. There's hardly any 'action' in the movie, but when it hits, it's competent as hell.
Watch it for the adventure and the characters, and you'll have a blast.
Eli Roberts
At least capeshit has a guaranteed return on investment. The stuff like the most recent big budget Peter Pan movie is what makes me question Hollywood judgment the most.
Thomas Baker
>when your film isn't a money laundering scheme
Is this actually a thing? What's my go-to material to learn about this shit?
It looked so fucking real dude, goddamnit. GODLESS SAVAGES
Blake Rivera
Wholeheartedly agree, OP. Watched it many times. I actually liked how low-scale the whole movie was. It's exciting in its own way as a "smaller" incident that may be part of a larger world. There's not enough horror-westerns movies out there.
Chase Ortiz
You should watch this film with your family, its a great action film.
Every bit of the film will leave you wanting for more. If you have any elderly among your family, invite them to enjoy this good ol west adventure.
Nathaniel Bennett
What I find weird is that the savages didn't have anything precious to loot on them. Even that weird flute in their throats was shit.
Benjamin White
Any interesting observations upon repeat viewings?
Honestly, I watched this movie knowing hardly anything about it after a random recommendation online, and was mindfucked when I saw it'¨s only 1,8 mil budget with THAT cast. Apparently Kurt Russel was really impressed by the script and just wanted to do the role. Funny he shot Hateful Eight with QT around the same time (also a western 'small scale' character driven film) which had a budget of 44mil. Honestly I preferred Bone Tomahawk way more than Hateful Eight.
Any niggers got good recommendations for what to watch AFTER this??
David Gomez
thats really what I liked about it. they werent horror movie cliches, they were actually pretty competent (to the point of being overly violent) and still got fucked over
Ryder White
at first it felt really weird to me when it suddenly became brutal as fuck
Wyatt Ortiz
Why is it so much more intense to watch those scenes without any meaningless dialogue or over-the-top music? I felt genuine terror when the fucking savages came from the sand running straight at them, but there's hardly a sound during those scenes. Is it because it emphasizes the visual look of them, it feels more immersive maybe? It actually feels like you're watching someone be attacked, instead of watching a film of someone being attacked, if that makes sense.
>pic related
tl;dr it's fucking well done, but I'm not sure why.
Jonathan White
have heard about this but always put off watching this. is this part of the essential russell-core?
so far I've watched
Skyhigh Escape from NY The Thing Hateful Eight Big Trouble in Little China Tombstone - my favourite Stargate
Wyatt Campbell
Because you are now used to quips and dialogue that explains the whole fucking movie 20mn in so you don't really care.
Watch Green Room/Blue ruins after.
Josiah Baker
>7.1 on IMDB
The "scene" must have made it lose atleast .5 points.
Levi Richardson
its realistic that's why it is so good. gunfights aren't 2 guys standing in the street at high noon, they are recon and ambushes.
very well done
Jayden Bailey
I enjoyed Blue Ruin, have been meaning to check out Green Room, gonna check it out now thanks!
It was so refreshing watching characters that feel like humans with a purpose, rather than vessels for plot-explanation throughout the entire movie. It's like the director was thinking "Ok, so what would usually happen in movies when 'this¨happens? Yeah let¨s do something different than that."
Nicholas Sanchez
>tfw you already forgot most of the details about this movie >tfw you get to watch it again like it's almost new
Elijah Gray
I'm glad Chicory made it.
Would have been sad to see him go.
Ethan Carter
Looked way too "clean". You know, digital cameras.
Carter Rogers
There are some hints you dont notice on a first viewing, like the sound of the troglodytes at the major town, or the guy at the bar using his friend's name (Buddy)
Angel Reyes
Fucking Hollywood has conditioned me so much that I was 100% sure he would die in like 4 scenes of the movie just to rip away the one positive, naive and lovable character to establish the evilness of the savages.
>It's the official opinion of the backup user that he was a GREAT character.
Gives me real hope for a Blood Meridian film. It would just be this movie writ large. The time is now, especially with westerns about to become the next meme after the Dark Tower series.
Henry Hughes
>Similarly, the Tolkien estate sued New Line, claiming that their contract entitled them to 7.5% of the gross receipts of the $6 billion hit.[19] According to New Line's accounts, the trilogy made "horrendous losses" and no profit at all.
LotR triology made horrendous losses... lmfao what? How do we stop them?
True Grit was pleasant. More dry, but I can understand your comparison. Will take note of your two suggestions.
>buddy shows me "the scene" >fast forward three months, we decide to watch it >expect a schlocky gore porn western >mfw the movie turned out to be fucking amazing
Nathan Williams
Ravenous
Owen Brown
I assume you're talking about the 1999 Guy Pierce one, but when I searched IMDB, there's another one with the same alternative title. Had a light chuckle:
>A thriller centered on a young woman and her autistic little brother who are trapped in a house with a ravenous tiger during a hurricane.
I'm kinda hoping this is the one you were talking about user.
Charles Richardson
Fuck you faggot that movie is GOAT
Gabriel King
Tf is "the scene"? I've seen the film nothing stands out in my memory
Hudson Taylor
Tombstone is great, you duche
Blake Hernandez
It was great, but I went in completely mislead. I heard "Horror western", which was what peaked my interest. The entire time I was expecting some kind of big twist with the burial grounds thing, so when it turned out to just be a simple story it was oddly refreshing.
My only complaint is how the protagonist could barely walk and was literally crawling in the end, but at the final fight he was hobbling around. Pretty minor thing, in the grand scheme of things.
Luis Roberts

Nathan Carter
>>What did you think, and why?
I thought it was pretty top notch myself, great atmosphere, great characters, and a nice twist on the Western genre which is bare bones as it is these days. I'd like to see more like it really.
>>What should I watch next?
Major Dundee.
Ian Young
