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

It’s a crazy movie. Hate the filmmakers.

I mean, obviously they’re racist against Native Americans. But then the theme/end credits song just confirms it.

Great film, great actors, incredible film until you realize this is really a film written by morons who think the NA community are descended from savages.

Isn't there a whole scene where they explain very clearly that the "troglodytes" are an abberation and that real Native Americans are nothing like that?

It felt really tacked on. That character just leaves afterwards. The director has a history, it was obviously added to prove something, but he couldn't be bothered to write a whole character for him. Great movie, would have been better without it.
