Bone Tomahawk gets a bloody BBFC 18-certificate!

Bone Tomahawk is coming to UK cinemas, with Kurt Russell in the lead role, and it’s the weirdest name for a film I’ve come across in a long time, but it’s about four men, who set out in the Wild West to rescue a group of captives from cannibalistic cave dwellers.

From first-time director, S Craig Zahler, the cast is a lot more well-known and also is comprised of Patrick Wilson, Sean Young, Lili Simmons, Matthew Fox, David Arquette, Kathryn Morris, Michael Paré and Richard Jenkins.

However, it’s been awarded an 18-certificate – quite a rarity these days – for “strong violence” as well as a number of other matters which I’ll hide behind a spoiler heading…

Bone Tomahaww is a horror Western about a group of men who leave their small town to search for a woman who has been kidnapped by a cannibalistic tribe. A scene shows a ritualistic killing in which a man is scalped and then killed in a gory fashion. Other scenes of violence show blood spurts when people are shot or hit with arrows. A man cuts into a dead man’s throat. There is some injury detail, such as sight of bloody open wounds. A scene shows a couple having sex in bed: we see them thrusting and there is some sight of the side of the woman’s naked breast.

This marks a change from a lot of films which the studios dumb down and censor to get more bums on seats. Two forthcoming examples are The Last Witch Hunter and Goosebumps.
