The Bone Tomahawk

I watched this film on Netflix when Ivy was out, as I knew full well she wouldn't enjoy it. Why? Because it's a Western and it's a horror, and she doesn't like either.
   Apparently it has a bit of a cult following, and I can see why. It's utterly unlike anything I've seen before. Weirdly, both the Western and horror elements are muted, but they somehow combine to make something both 'of its time' and also pretty horrible, although much of the horror comes from the audience's mind and isn't especially explicit on the screen.
   I quite enjoyed it, if enjoyed can be the right word for this sort of film. So I recommend it for anyone who isn't going to start watching through fingers splayed over their face.
