Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Bad acting...bad effects...bad bad bad!! I am genuinely surprised that this CF has gotten so many good reviews. Within the first 5 minutes, somebody gets shot, and the squib is a full 5 frames after the gunshot...that's some awful directing right there. Save yourself two hours and avoid this dumpster fire of a film. Just because there's awesome actors in it doesn't mean it's a good movie.

Bone Tamahawk is a welcomed change of pace in the modern age of "non-stop" action. Definitely worth the time to watch. The acting is above average and the story line is developed just enough for this type of movie. You cannot go into this movie thinking western or horror, it's a great blend. Do not listen to the ridiculously low ratings that some critics gave this movie.

Picked this movie out of a bargain bin, attracted by the fact that it had some good people in it. LOVED Kurt Russell in "Tombstone" and being led to think that this was (supposedly) another Western, we were looking forward to it. I mean, they don't make too many Westerns anymore.And they didn't make one this time, either.In fact, we sat through it and by the end, really had no idea exactly WHAT it was that we'd just sat through. Or in my case, WHY I'd sat through it.Kurt Russell will always be Kurt Russell and I think he'll always be good in any character portrayal, as he was here in the role of the Sheriff. In my mind, he will always BE Wyatt Earp, in one of my favorite Westerns. But this movie kind of morphed from Western to Science Fiction to outright blood-and-guts gruesome and hideous Horror. Took some seriously sick minds to come up with some of the gore portrayed in this movie and I actually had to look away several times, although the sound was still horrible!There were a lot of impossibilities in this movie. I did like Matthew Fox's portrayal of an eccentric and rather creepy character, but I'd like to know, first off, what he was thinking by going through his days in a dirty, dusty frontier town dressed in a dapper white suit, and secondly, how he managed to stay so clean ... until he was attacked by those "creatures," that is. Then, a guy wracked with fever because of a gangrenous leg simply could not drag himself through a desert all alone (especially with cannibals lurking about which brings me to wonder why in the world they didn't nab him?? An easy meal if there ever was one! I mean, being crippled and all ...). Then, the lack of outright blubbering hysteria on the part of the captured wife when the Sheriff and "Chicory" (loved that name!) were dragged into the cave had me totally baffled! Why she wasn't huddled in the back corner in a tight, quivering ball of terror, scared completely out of her mind, just escaped me! Instead, when she saw them, she seemed very calm and almost bored as she immediately greeted the Sheriff. Amazing! A braver, stronger and more even-keeled little gal than me, that's for sure! And again, she was still so clean!My husband didn't say much but I found the one critique he did have hilarious: "You know, hacking a guy in half just wouldn't happen that 'cleanly.' There'd be all kinds of internal stuff to deal with and he wouldn't just pull apart like that.." No. He probably wouldn't.And I still can't figure out what the crippled pregnant women really had to do with anything.We both agreed that the movie was "really awful" and we felt let down because that group of actors deserved a better movie. There are lots of people who like lots of gore and if that's the case, they're gonna LOVE this movie. But for those of us who still appreciate actual Westerns and have seen these actors in much better roles, we both found ourselves actually wishing we hadn't watched it. It was horrible and haunting and nothing like we were hoping it would be.

I think it was someone on ScreenJunkies who recommended this but yeah; I wish I never watched it. Simply because it is a below average film. The director and budget are to blame. It is not even worth watching just for the action. The Blu-Ray cover is more entertaining than the actual film. This is a three point seven kind of deal but I'm giving it a one out of ten because it cost me 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.
