6. Bone Tomahawk
Very few movies use silence as effectively as S. Craig Zahler’s Bone Tomahawk. The film has virtually no soundtrack, and we’re lulled into a sense of security with all these long, quiet dialogue sequences, making the sudden bursts of violence that much more shocking. If Quentin Tarantino ever made a horror film, it would probably be something like this: a genre-bending combination of a western and a monster movie, which boasts compelling writing and memorable characters. We really get to know these people and bond with them, so unlike many similar monster movies, we are truly invested in seeing them succeed, and their deaths matter. By the end, we feel like we’ve been on this long journey ourselves, and the care Zahler gives to his characters, coupled with the lengthy buildup, makes the final 30 minutes devastating. It certainly goes on a bit longer than necessary, and trimming the film down below two hours couldn’t have hurt, but Bone Tomahawk is still a highly entertaining, funny ride with one nightmarish finale.
