During a shootout in a saloon, Sheriff Hunt injures a suspicious stranger. The doctor's assistant, wife of the local foreman, tends to him in prison. That night, the town is attacked and they both disappear—only the arrow of a cannibal tribe is found. Hunt and a few of his men go in search of the prisoner and the foreman's wife.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A witty fusion of western, horror and comedy that gallops to its own beat.

fresh:
Though its cult-movie desires often show, "Bone Tomahawk" is ultimately sold by its cast, who commit fully to Zahler's discursive indulgences.

fresh:
While the genre jump from John Ford to Eli Roth may be off-putting to some, it raises the stakes on a climax in a way that most Westerns fail to do.

Bone Tomahawk is terrifying and strange, to be sure, but it's the old-fashioned veneer that makes it beautiful.

fresh:
Equal parts charming, strange, goofy, unpredictable and genuinely horrifying.
