HEArd this before from other people....haven't taken the time to watch it myself but Ive seen "the scene" that made you go WTF.
Now you need to watch Brawl in Cellblock 99.
Watched that movie last year after I had throat surgery and was laid up at the house. That scene in the cave left me thinking WTF?
Then like an hour later I had a massive bleed out and started gargling blood and wound up in the ER having to go thru emergency surgery. As I was laying there waiting to go into surgery choking on and spitting out blood all I could think about was that scene...

That movie had so much potential, and then took a turn down 'What the heck' boulevard.
Loved it. Craig S. Zahler is a master at building suspense.
When I watched it, I thought it was boring, boring, boring, then wtf did I just see.
Zahler's movies are a lot of suspense and buildup that rely heavily on acting and dialogue, ultimately exploding at the end. Russell, Jenkins, and Wilson were all fantastic.
Also, this is why it's important to watch the trailer before seeing the movie. The trailer lets you know what you're getting into 15 seconds in. The trailer is violent and stays violent throughout.
Or, if that's not your jam, at least read the plotline on IMDB: In the dying days of the old west, an elderly sheriff and his posse set out to rescue their town's doctor from cannibalistic cave dwellers.
It doesn't get clearer than an R-rated film about searching for cannibalistic cave dwellers.
Also, as mentioned earlier, Zahler makes some deep, disturbing films that are extremely well-reviewed. He's one of the few directors who can get production money before even having a script.

I didn't think it was that suspenseful. Kinda just wanted them to get on with it, and then wished they hadn't.
I remember after "the cave scene" I got a weird sensation in the grundle and couldn't watch the rest of the movie sitting down.
I think of it more in the mold of older Hollywood films that built suspense throughout a movie. It's something you don't see much anymore because it's challenging to do. It's a lot easier to blow something up than drive plot and character via dialogue. Tarantino is probably the best example of a director who is very good at the slow burn (If you haven't seen Once Upon a Time in Hollywood yet, I'd recommend it).AgGrad99 said:BassCowboy33 said:

It's definitely not for everyone.AgGrad99 said:

Actually, in this day and age I like.watching movies without seeing the trailers. I enjoyed BT. The acting was spectacular. I just might have nightmares tonight.
I was intrigued by the premise. When it was released, a friend watched it and started raving about it. He said the only requirement was that I had to watch the film late at night, and I couldn't stop no matter how scared I got. I'm not sure I've ever been more afraid of a villain. Maybe Anton Chigurh or The Terminator?Swarely said:

One of the most disturbing scenes ever in a movie.
I really like Bone Tomahawk but Brawl in Cell Block whatever was so laughable I had to turn it off before finishing. I'm sorry but that was horrible writing, acting, and Vince Vaughn in that role was absolutely ridiculous.

Bump. Just saw this thread. Thanks Google.
So, my girlfriend isn't here with me right now, thank god, because I fired this up last night. "The scene" would've been traumatic for her. Hell, for me I legitimately felt sick. I only came across this movie Bc during quarantine I'm looking for cool horror movies and feel like I've seen most.
And I hate gratuitous gore. Never seen Saw or Hostel that doesn't scare me, it grosses me out. I came across this because "good horror movies streaming" and holy hell, this movie is at 91% on rotten tomatoes.
So I went into Bone Tomahawk optimistic, but also wary since it was claimed to be "horror".
This wasn't horror, really, but just a western with a disgusting torture porn scene.
As a western, I enjoyed it, but I was never really scared, just grossed out. Gotta say I was blindsided by this. Maybe I'm dumb, but I like to go in as blind as possible for highly rated "horror" movies.
ETA: this was a good movie. I give it a 9/10. But "that scene" is going to haunt me for awhile
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
Now watch Brawl in Cell Block 99
Just seeing this thread bumped reminded me of that scene, and I got a little queasy.
Hollywood has done westerns to death...and then in walks in this film.
Sure there have been "injuns captured people" before but this was fresh and captured attention.
The dynamic between the know-nothing old man and the expert indian killer was great.
It even had an ounce of the lame hero like 310 to yuma. Although his injury allowed the good guys to have two assaults, so there was some functionality for the storytelling.

Finally watched BT, I thought it was suspenseful. I guess from what I've heard and read I was on the edge of my seat throughout the movie. Kurt Russell is such a badass. I loved his quote toward the end when he was talking to his assistant deputy, "Tell my wife bye, I'll tell yours hi."
On a side note, I've watched Dragged on Concrete, Brawl in Cellblock 99, and BT within the last week. Have you noticed how many actors and actresses are in more than one of the movies? One was in all three. Probably 6 of them are in two of the three. Thought that was funny.

Bump to say HO LEE CHIT!

To be honest, the torture scene was pretty dang realistic if you've ever read anything about the Comanche.

Whoever said it up top that just seeing the name (or for me scrolling thru streaming film options), definitely get queasy. One of the most unexpected, utterly horrified, and then the preggo scenario triggered into a point of almost puking.
Yeah, definitely a horror western. And Kurt Russell rules. Watch the battered *******s of baseball to see even more of his coolness.
