Kathryn Gets A BT Review Shout-out

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.

SNOB Doesn’t Turn Its Nose Up At The Coin

You probably thought we’d heard the last of The Coin. Me too.

No, it turns up with out warning like a bad penny. But in a good way of course

Yesterday the writer/director/producer of the short film The Coin, Fabien Martorell, let us know that his work has been selected for another film festival.

This time its the people of Boston get the benefit of the 9 minute long drama starring Christopher Lloyd (The Addams Family) and Kathryn. She’s the stressed mother taking her young son to a local store to buy groceries. He’s the homeless man sat on the pavement/sidewalk out front who gives the boy a few words of wisdom.

The oddly named Somewhat North Of Boston Film Festival will be screening The Coin during its 3-day event in mid-November. At the time of writing we don’t have specific details on when it will be shown. I’ll bring you more when I can.

Interesting name that. Concord, New Hampshire, home to the SNOB Film Fest is indeed ‘somewhat north’ of Boston, Massachusetts. It’s also ‘somewhat north’ of New Boston, New Hampshire. Why not go plural? I guess it sounds better than Somewhat North Of Manchester (the New Hampshire version). SNOB vs SNOM.

There’s not a lot there at the moment but browse the official SNOB website in anticipation.

Inferno Heats Up A Sunday Afternoon

Nearly missed this one.

In what can only be an attempt to make us Brits feel a bit warmer as temperatures begin the steady decline towards winter, the Horror Channel is showing the TV movie Inferno again today.

The Horror channel is available to everyone in the UK via the Freeview TV system so there is no excuse not to take the opportunity to watch one of Kathryn’s earlier roles.

4:50pm this afternoon (Sunday, 18th October) is the start time. See the Media Alert post HERE from the last time I alerted our British readers of a screening for more details.

There are some Inferno related images in KM UK Gallery.

Bone Tomahawk Becomes Award Winner In Spain

There is a still a day to go of the Sitges International Film Festival in Spain but they’ve announced the winners of the events awards.

Bone Tomahawk has netted a Best Director gong for S. Craig Zahler. Who, as luck would have it, is the director. Funny that

The horror western also took the prize for the José Luis Guarner Critic Award as the best feature film.

A full list of all the winners in all the categories can be found on the official website.

Congratulations to all involved on these first pieces of silverware for the project from everyone here at KM UK.

The movie has been garnering positive comments at every screening it’s done so far.

Mention should be made of the fact that Bone Tomahawk had a budget of only $1.8m and was filmed in just three weeks. That’s tiny compared to almost every Hollywood movie, and is especially impressive when you consider the cast that it has. Not only are there some big names in there (Kurt Russell and Matthew Fox to give just two examples) but there are at least six people that could easily claim a large chunk of that money on their own. Clearly this was a project they really wanted to do.

Sunday? Bone Tomahawk? Tell You What: Telluride

Had a tough week?

Has it felt like you’re just constantly going up hill?

Each day another mountain to climb?

Well, take a break from what’s getting you down and head for the hills. Why not actually climb a mountain? Colorado’s got a few. Pick the right one and you could end up in the town of Telluride.

On Sunday we have another screening of S. Craig Zahler’s directorial debut Bone Tomahawk. Two in a row starting at at 5:30pm on Sunday to close the Telluride Horror Show film festival.

Along side some old favourites (if you like that sort of thing) there are also a load of short films. All in the horror genre of course.

The Telluride Horror Show website should be able to apprise you of all the necessary.
