Since its premiere at the Fantastic Fest film festival there have been a number of reviews of the horror western Bone Tomahawk published. They’ve generally been favourable.
Kathryn’s role, however, has largely gone unmentioned other than in lists of additional cast members. This is hardly surprising given that Lorna, wife of Kurt Russell’s Sheriff Hunt, only makes a some very brief appearances.
The website JoBlo has gone a little further than most in describing some of those big name, small part players:
The town the early scenes are set-in comes to life through the efforts of a truly amazing supporting cast of character actors, including people like James Tolkan as a lazy piano player, Fred Melamed as a barkeep (his saloon is memorably named ‘The Learned Goat’), Kathryn Morris, Sean Young, and even Michael Pare. Most on them only have a scene or two, but like the best character actors they make a huge impression and give the townsfolk real life.
One more thing. Chris Bumbray’s review (read it in full here) suggests that writer/director S. Craig Zahler’s Bone Tomahawk is not going to be released in the cinemas at the end of this week, just on streaming services. Right from the start Chris writes from the premise that the film should be seen on the big screen and not via VOD. From all the information I can find Bone Tomahawk will be in US theaters from Friday.
