Just saw this movie last night. Found it to be bland and flat and uninteresting in almost all facets. Not for me. However, when I looked into the public's and critic's responses, I found that they praised it highly and loved it. Did I miss something? What did you all think of the movie?
Bone Tomahawk
I really enjoyed the spooky western vibe. I hate Matthew Fox but he was really good in this
Idk it felt like a solid slow burning bone chiller to me
Cannibal troglodyte indians are inherently interesting, what's wrong with you? You sound boring as fuck.
I thought it was really gross and the people who survived would die anyway.
It's a fucking western about cannibalistic indians with based Kurt Russell as lead.
How the fuck can you find it boring?
Fucking kill yourself OP
Let's watch it together, only this time we can touch our wieners together.
It wasnt boring but I found it to be a pointless exercise in brutal violence with no real redeeming qualities. Unlike Brawl in Cell Block 99 or Dragged Across Concrete, this one seemed like savage violence for its own sake and no real artistic merit.
>Not for me
Why did you answer your own question OP?
You are either an liberal, woman, atheist or non-white
>act 1
comfy atmosphere of an old western town
>act 2
drama where heroes journey through the plains to save the maiden in distress
>act 3
horror movie where the heroes end up in hell and fight their way out
It was a good movie with good pace and a lot of surprises
>It wasnt boring but I found it to be a pointless exercise in brutal violence with no real redeeming qualities. Unlike Brawl in Cell Block 99 or Dragged Across Concrete, this one seemed like savage violence for its own sake and no real artistic merit.
It was decidedly low budget and looked and felt like a direct to dvd movie. Westerns are inherently epics and if you’re not gonna make them right they shouldn’t be made. Bone tomahawk was cheap trash
>Did I miss something? What did you all think of the movie?
It's great. Well shot, good performances, great effects. Frankly I love the way it uses sound, minimal mood setting, lots of diegetic ambient sounds, meaty shots and impacts.
It has the right stoicism and bravado for a classic western but there aren't any overpowered hero characters. They all get beat up, the situation has real stakes.
It's a niche cross genre of weird western or horror western that has gotten some love in books and comics but very little in movies or TV.
>pointless exercise in brutal violence with no real redeeming qualities
There's actually very little violence in it content wise. Perhaps that's why the key gore scenes there are, have more punch. You don't get numb to it.
OwO
What I liked about is is how unpredictable it was and how they didn’t pull punches with the violence. Troglodytes were really scary cunts
The Indians feel like different people in the 3rd act, where they only decide to attack directly infront of the people with guns, and don't just shoot arrows from 100 feet away like the first dudes, or be quick and stealthy like they did with the horse boy
Refute me, gore addict brainlet
>bad guys are called troglodytes

What? no transforming car? faggot.
What did you actually find bland about it? Cause it really isn’t bland
All the sets look too empty and clean. It's like a stage play, not a real environment people live in.
Her?
True. There were literally no extra in the move. I felt that made it more enjoyable. It felt cozier
violence doesn't need a reason. reality is hyperviolent for no reason. The violence you're talking about fit well with the film anyway.
watched it a couple of days ago.
I felt exactly the same desu
I found the script and the shot composition/lighting to be bland. The Trogs also were only as stealthy and lethal as the script would let them be, which was apparent in a few scenes where life-long killers were fighting a single cripple. Someone else in this thread has also pointed out how empty the town felt. No extras at all. Like a stageplay pretending to be a movie.
The "minimal mood setting" was because the budget ran out
What surprised you
Wrong, wrong, wrong, half wrong
>THAT scene
don't tell me you didn't pop a boner too
iirc this film had pretty much no budget but kurt russel saw the script and was like "fuck yea" and signed on for next to nothing
the cave set looked wack as fuck
>when the hole begins to scream at her saviors
>"frontier life is hard because of idiots not the indians(you know the whole reason we're here)"
who the fuck writes this shit?
Is this the first time you have disliked something critics praised? Are you retarded?
