Bone Tomahawk Gets Off Scot (Not) Free

More film festival news means Bone Tomahawk will be continuing to stride the globe like a colossus into November.

The award winning film has more US screenings this weekend in Telluride, Colorado.

It’s already been shown in England as part of the BFI London Film Festival. We know the horror western will be in Wales for the Abertoir Film Festival in mid-November and over the water to the Republic Of Ireland and the Cork Film Festival just before that.

How about the other English border?

We’ve now got news that that’ll be covered in early November when Bone Tomahawk jumps Hadrian’s Wall on its way to Inverness.

As part of the schedule of the Inverness Film Festival it can claim to be the Scottish première and the most northerly screening so far.

The Eden Court theatre will be playing host to the movie at 8:30pm on Thursday the 5th of November.

At the heart of Inverness, on bank of the river Ness (which joins the famous Loch Ness and Beauly Firth), Eden Court is approaching its 40th year. The IFF is 13 this year.

But where can you find out more about this event? I hear you ask. How about the official website.

Kathryn Gets A BT Review Shout-out

Since its premiere at the Fantastic Fest film festival there have been a number of reviews of the horror western Bone Tomahawk published. They’ve generally been favourable.

Kathryn’s role, however, has largely gone unmentioned other than in lists of additional cast members. This is hardly surprising given that Lorna, wife of Kurt Russell’s Sheriff Hunt, only makes a some very brief appearances.

The website JoBlo has gone a little further than most in describing some of those big name, small part players:

The town the early scenes are set-in comes to life through the efforts of a truly amazing supporting cast of character actors, including people like James Tolkan as a lazy piano player, Fred Melamed as a barkeep (his saloon is memorably named ‘The Learned Goat’), Kathryn Morris, Sean Young, and even Michael Pare. Most on them only have a scene or two, but like the best character actors they make a huge impression and give the townsfolk real life.

One more thing. Chris Bumbray’s review (read it in full here) suggests that writer/director S. Craig Zahler’s Bone Tomahawk is not going to be released in the cinemas at the end of this week, just on streaming services. Right from the start Chris writes from the premise that the film should be seen on the big screen and not via VOD. From all the information I can find Bone Tomahawk will be in US theaters from Friday.

Bone Tomahawk Becomes Award Winner In Spain

There is a still a day to go of the Sitges International Film Festival in Spain but they’ve announced the winners of the events awards.

Bone Tomahawk has netted a Best Director gong for S. Craig Zahler. Who, as luck would have it, is the director. Funny that

The horror western also took the prize for the José Luis Guarner Critic Award as the best feature film.

A full list of all the winners in all the categories can be found on the official website.

Congratulations to all involved on these first pieces of silverware for the project from everyone here at KM UK.

The movie has been garnering positive comments at every screening it’s done so far.

Mention should be made of the fact that Bone Tomahawk had a budget of only $1.8m and was filmed in just three weeks. That’s tiny compared to almost every Hollywood movie, and is especially impressive when you consider the cast that it has. Not only are there some big names in there (Kurt Russell and Matthew Fox to give just two examples) but there are at least six people that could easily claim a large chunk of that money on their own. Clearly this was a project they really wanted to do.

Sunday? Bone Tomahawk? Tell You What: Telluride

Had a tough week?

Has it felt like you’re just constantly going up hill?

Each day another mountain to climb?

Well, take a break from what’s getting you down and head for the hills. Why not actually climb a mountain? Colorado’s got a few. Pick the right one and you could end up in the town of Telluride.

On Sunday we have another screening of S. Craig Zahler’s directorial debut Bone Tomahawk. Two in a row starting at at 5:30pm on Sunday to close the Telluride Horror Show film festival.

Along side some old favourites (if you like that sort of thing) there are also a load of short films. All in the horror genre of course.

The Telluride Horror Show website should be able to apprise you of all the necessary.

Bone Tomahawk Puts A Cork In It

Bone Tomahawk had a successful weekend at the BFI London Film Festival.

We found out last week that the horror western will be heading to Wales in mid-November.

Just before reaching the Abertoir Film Festival the movie will be overshooting the valleys and landing on the south coast of the Republic Of Ireland.

The 60th running of the Cork Film Festival plays host to Bone Tomahawk in a 6:30pm screening on the 9th of November at the Gate Cinema. That’s a Monday evening.

Tickets are €10 or less and available via the CFF website.

Thanks to Fate 815 for bringing this one to our attention.
