Kathryn Morris UK

It was released in UK cinemas last Friday and was the recipient of a lot of praise from the critics.

But what of a home release of horror western Bone Tomahawk for those in the United Kingdom?

Well, it’s mixed news.

The division of Amazon based in England now has pages for Bone Tomahawk on both Blu-ray and DVD.  These are very recent additions.  The prices shown at time of writing are £16 (~US$22) and £11.50 (~US$16) respectively.  You can pre-order now.

That’s the good.

The bad is that the released dates for both disc formats are shown as being (again, at time of ‘going to press’) at the very end of December 2016.

I very much doubt that date is correct and I’m going to assume it is a place-holder in lieu of the actual date when it is announced.

If you don’t want to wait that long then you could try acquiring it from one of Britain’s continental neighbours…  The disc region codes are the same and they are likely to include an English language track.  Just sayin’…  Check before purchase though.  Caveat emptor an’ all that.

The box art above and flat versions are in the Gallery.

It has been a long time coming but Bone Tomahawk will finally be released in UK cinemas a week on Friday.

For reasons unknown the film was delayed from the original December 2015 date, as reported here on KM UK back in November.  My best guess is that the distributor wanted to try and ride the wave of publicity from The Hate Eight, which also stars Kurt Russell, and the western-esque film The Revenant.  Going for a Friday in late January would have been a better option then.  Unless they are hoping for a further boost from those films being talked about a lot during the upcoming awards season, as we go through the BAFTAs and Oscars in the next couple of weeks.

Above (and now in the Gallery) is a copy of the Bone Tomahawk poster for the UK release.  I’ve also included the UK trailer video.

Very much taking its cues from that art work is the one you see on the right.  It is to promote a special pre-release screening of Bone Tomahawk to be held this coming Sunday as part of an ‘Anti-Valentine’ event to be held somewhere in London.

If you’d like to attend for free then the HeyUGuys website is giving away three pairs of tickets to the show.  It is for UK residents only and you’ll have to be quick due my slowness.  Entries have to be in by midnight (23:59) on Wednesday the 10th (tomorrow at time of writing).  You can read the details on the HeyUGuys website here.
