We’re still a few weeks off the general opening of Bone Tomahawk and all it seems to be doing is closing!

The International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival is holding a special showcase next week.  The actual annual festival is held in April of each year in Phoenix, Arizona.

Over three days the Fall Horror Showcase features a film per night, concluding with Bone Tomahawk on Thursday the 8th of October.

The Harkins Scottsdale 101 Theatre, which hosts the screening, is relatively small so there are only around 250 seats available.  So, if you want a ticket you’d better hurry up and visit the official website.

With each newly announced screening of Bone Tomahawk the beginning of October gets more and more crowded.

Premièring on the closing night of Fantastic Fest on the 1st, on the 4th it’s Popcorn Fest, the 6th sees it at Beyond Fest, before a few days off to make the trip to London for the BFI Film Fest on the 10th, and several screenings in Spain at the Sitges International Film Fest shortly after.  It’s a fest of fests!

You’d think that’s enough but oh no, not for Bone Tomahawk.

Some how the 7th running of the Charlotte Film Festival has snuck in and grabbed second place with a screening on Saturday the 3rd of October.  It’s another last-on-the-schedule, closing night showing.  The good folks of Charlotte, North Carolina, get a nice sensible hour starting time of 8pm.  That’s civilised.

The event takes place from this Friday (25th Sept) and continues until Bone Tomahawk finishes it off the Saturday a week later.  The festival is made up of a mix of both narrative and documentary films in both feature and short forms.

Full details of the cinema location and ticket prices are on the official website.

We can’t fault Bone Tomahawk for cramming them in.

So far the S. Craig Zahler’s horror western has amassed fives showings lined up across the US and northern Europe already.

Now we switch to southern Europe for the Sitges International Film Festival, held in the town of Sitges, not far from Barcelona in Spain.

You may not have heard of Sitges or its film festival but it’s certainly heard of you… wait… that can’t be right

The festival has been running since 1967. Therefore this will be the 48th edition, and as such it is thought of as one of the most significant that focuses on the horror and fantasy film genres.

This year the Sitges International Film Festival is running from the 9th to the 18th of October.  Bone Tomahawk has been announced as one of many films that will be screened.  At the time of posting the schedule has not been published yet though.  What has been said is the Bone Tomahawk will be part of the ‘Official Fantàstic Competition’ so an award could be in the offing.

As per usual the full details can be found HERE on the official website.
