Fantastic Fest: Bone Tomahawk (2015)

Wow! The last film of Fantastic Fest 2015 closes out with a bang.  Fuck yeah.  An awesome western with cannibals in it.  A little long but most times I didn't notice.  Great set up.  Intro has Sid Haig and David Arquette up to no good before they get attacked by this Indian cannibal tribe.  Then we meet our main characters.  Kurt Russell is one badass Sheriff here.  Richard Jenkins was an old funny deputy.  Enjoyed this film.  It's a western with the search and rescue story or men on a mission story.  We get some violence throughout but the best shit happens in the last 20 minutes.  Fucking cannibals are ruthless.  Crazy gore.  Loved it.  This made making my top 10 of the fest very hard.  Hell, all most movies were either good or very awesome.  Just two or three that were a waste of time.  That's not bad. In fact, a new record.  This is now my favorite Fantastic Fest of all time. Bone Tomahawk, must see.  The first of two westerns this year with Kurt Russell.  I can't fucking wait for the second one.  No more comments.
8 out of 10.
