Bone Tomahawk’s Perfect Shot

Theres a pleasingly broad streak of mischief running throughBone Tomahawk,S.

Craig Zahlers earthy horror-western.

Here it is:

Yes, its a simple, locked-off shot of a barn.

At first glance, it might look as though there isnt much remarkable about it.

In short, come for the horror; stay for Sheriff Hunt and his loveably flawed posse.
