Review of Bone Tomahawk

This is a very unpleasant film and I would not recommend it to anyone. From the sordid opening of watching two murderous bushwhackers at work the film hardly improves and some of it frankly ridiculous. The supposedly smart sheriff allows a badly injured husband to accompany a rescue mission that is destined to last at least 4 days on horseback –never going to happen. Then there is the question of how the troglodytes got to the town and back with three captives as they seem to lack horses – daft. Of course you then have to have some unidentified Mexican baddies to steal the rescuers horses forcing the crippled husband to hobble for miles – unbelievable – and surprise, surprise he lags behind but still heroically presses on despite aggravating his injury more than once – even more unbelievable. The three leading rescuers get to the troglodyte hideout and promptly get attacked and one is killed and the other two caught and hauled up to their cave. Oh, I forgot to mention that the troglodytes cannot talk only make a completely weird call which of course they do repeatedly to alert all and sundry to their presence. The two remaining rescuers find that the gimp's wife and other deputy are still alive (after what 5/6 days) and of course their presence brings about the near instant and horrible butchery of the other deputy. But at last the cavalry arrives as gimpy the husband finally gets to the cave area. He manages to kill two troglodytes and immediately realises that they have something in their throats so he cuts this device out of one of the troglodytes and uses it to make those weird calls so more troglodytes come running towards him so he can shoot them. The last and final idiocy has gimpy arriving in the cave crawling having climbed up to the cave (which, by the way looked pretty inaccessible) unseen and unheard and effects a rescue. Utter tosh.
