Kathryn Morris UK

If you want to get a Kathryn Morris fix this weekend whilst sitting in a room of strangers, with your feet on a worryingly sticky floor, and eating way too much hugely expensive popcorn, then your luck’s in.

The western horror movie Bone Tomahawk, starring Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight), Patrick Wilson (Fargo TV series), Matthew Fox (Lost), Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under), and Lili Simmons (Banshee) amongst many others, hits the UK cinema screens from today (19th Feb).

Kathryn has a small role in the film as the wife of Kurt Russell’s sheriff who takes a small posse of men to go and rescue his deputy and Samantha (Lili Simmons), wife of Patrick Wilson’s Arthur, from a group of cannibalistic “troglodytes”.

All the reviews I have seen so far in the British press have been very favourable.  They warn about the gory bits (it is an 18 certificate) and often mention the slow build up.  Some see that as raising the tension, others that it drags early on and is too long.  Kurt Russell in particular is picked out for his performance in a fine cast.

BBC Radio 5 Live’s Film Review show (normally involving host Simon Mayo and film critic Mark Kermode but this week they were stood-in for by actor David Morrissey and critic Robbie Collin) made S. Craig Zahler’s directorial film début their film of the week.  It was up against Triple 9, How To Be Single, The Finest Hours and Freeheld.  So that’s good.
