Bone Tomahawk (2015)

Starring: Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox, David Arquette, Sid Haig,
Director: S. Craig Zahler

Premise:
A small town sheriff leads a posse to retrieve a woman who was kidnapped by a tribe of cannibalistic Indians.

My Take:
This is not only in the running for my favorite horror movie of the year but for my favorite movie of the year. The setting, dialog, and characters feel authentic for the time period. The cast is absolutely fantastic. Richard Jenkins should seriously deserve Oscar nods. The films starts out with a graphic bang of realistic violence and finishes in the same manner. There is plenty here to make the viewer squeamish.

Rating: Instant Classic
