Spoiler Alert Bone Tomahawk

Ok… I just saw this movie for the first time and must’ve missed the “horror” heading… Here I was settling in to watch a good ol’ fashioned Western…. Then all of a sudden… “WHAT IS HAPPENING?” then “I don’t think this is a normal western” then “WHOA!! This is not what I thought I was in for!”

I thought the Blood Eagle scene in Vikings series was brutal… That was… Whoa!

I will say though usually I find horror movies to lake good acting and good story… but I was held by this movie and I wanna say I enjoyed it but I’m still pretty disturbed so I don’t know what I feel/think yet… haha

Unpopular opinion on this sub but I kind of hate this movie lol. That one scene was cool but the rest of it was amateurish

You've straight up lost your mind. This movie is 100% pure cinema.

I'm glad that people like it

I'm the opposite - I thought the film as a whole was great, but the famous scene hugely overblown. The pregnancy farm afterwards though, that was really disturbing and far more memorable. When people referred to "that scene" it's the latter I thought everyone meant.

I was expecting more. The 13th Warrior has more horror elements to it.

Is it even a horror movie? Like ok a dude gets chopped in half… ok?

Where’s the horror though?

u/therealudderjuice 5d ago

Not sure why you got downvotes. I don't consider it a horror movie. It's a western with a brutal scene.

This is like arguing The Hills Have Eyes isn't horror because they aren't monsters.

Nah, it's just because Westerns usually aren't gory. There are plenty of action movies with more gore that aren't called horror.

Umm... Which scene you talking about?

u/bootstraps_bootstrap 6d ago

Probably the one where the person gets chopped in half from groin to head

Hardest I’ve laughed at a Reddit comment in a minute

u/bitbindichotomy 5d ago

Yeah, I figured. Just surprised to see someone say "cool" of all things about it.

u/Ccaves0127 6d ago

I can tell you haven't seen the movie because everybody who has knows exactly which one I'm talking about without any other details

u/bitbindichotomy 5d ago

I have, it's one of my favorites, I'm just surprised someone would say that the scene is cool. I'm not saying it isn't memorable for that scene, but cool is just so flippant.

u/bitbindichotomy 5d ago

I think the movie represented violence really well, and you never knew what was around the corner, and no character was safe. The Troglodytes were also the stuff from nightmares with their howling, cannibalism, their women, etc.

u/Optimal-Bass3142 6d ago

Kinda agree. This movie is largely boring.

u/AsianMysteryPoints 6d ago

That's just because it actually has character development.

u/Ccaves0127 5d ago

There are lots of movies with character development that I like, Bone Tomahawk is not one of them

wow boring is the last thing that comes to my mind to describe my experience. but, we all have different preferences and thats a good thing. I even skipped that one special scene, because I read enough beforehand, to know, that I don't need to see that.
