Hunt, Chicory, a local dandy named Brooder (Matthew Fox) and Samantha’s husband Arthur (Patrick Wilson) - hobbled by a broken leg himself - mount a rescue expedition to the valley, which is home to the “troglodytes,” a clan of cannibalistic savages so hideous and primitive that a local Native American is outraged when one of the townspeople refer to the clan as his “kind.” Our quartet of heroes sets out nonetheless, unprepared for the atrocities that lie in store yet determined to bring the victims home.Ĭentral to the movie is the bantering relationship between the grizzled, no-nonsense yet humane Hunt and his wingman, the not-quite-bright but still fiercely ethical and resourceful Chicory. The next morning, however, Samantha, the prisoner and a second deputy are gone, kidnapped by whatever was in that valley that came looking for Arquette – who, it turns out, desecrated a sacred burial ground. Purvis ends up in jail with a bullet in the leg, and local doctor Samantha O’Dwyer (Lili Simmons) is called to treat him. Arquette’s Purvis makes it out and ends up at a bar in the small town of Bright Hope, where he refuses to answer questions when Sheriff Franklin Hunt (Kurt Russell) and his deputy Chicory (Richard Jenkins) are summoned to interrogate him. Craig Zahler’s film opens with two low-level brigands (David Arquette and the legendary Sid Haig) venturing into a forbidding valley marked by human skulls at its entrance. I’m also happy to report that it’s quite an entertaining one too, and if it doesn’t always live up to its promise, it’s still got so much going in its favor – as both a Western and a horror story – that even a rather lengthy running time doesn’t keep it being a compelling and suspenseful watch.

They’re few and far between, which makes Bone Tomahawk one of the more unique films you’ll see this year. On paper, the idea of combining a Western with a horror story is a strangely compelling one, but the last Western/horror mash-up this writer remembers watching was JT Petty’s excellent 2008 effort The Burrowers.
