Bone Tomahawk Puts A Cork In It

Bone Tomahawk had a successful weekend at the BFI London Film Festival.

We found out last week that the horror western will be heading to Wales in mid-November.

Just before reaching the Abertoir Film Festival the movie will be overshooting the valleys and landing on the south coast of the Republic Of Ireland.

The 60th running of the Cork Film Festival plays host to Bone Tomahawk in a 6:30pm screening on the 9th of November at the Gate Cinema. That’s a Monday evening.

Tickets are €10 or less and available via the CFF website.

Thanks to Fate 815 for bringing this one to our attention.

BT’s Sitges Night Stages Start Tomorrow

As this post goes to ‘press’ (as in: I click ‘Publish’) Bone Tomahawk will be in the middle of a screening at the BFI London Film Festival. Its second of the event.

There’s no rest for the wicked, however, because from late tomorrow night it will start the first of three showings at the Sitges International Film Festival in the Spanish town of Sitges.

After midnight late on Monday the horror western movie will be shown at the Tramuntana cinema, which is part of the Hotel Melia facilities.

That is followed up less that 24 hours later at another cinema, the Auditori, at the same hotel.

Another post-midnight screening, this time at Cine El Retiro in Sitges town, happens on Wednesday.

Tickets may still be available (my Spanish is not up to it). Find details via official website.

Bone Tomahawk At BFI Tomorrow

Bone Tomahawk has bounced around the USA a lot already.

Austin, Texas. Charlotte, North Carolina. Miami, Florida. Hollywood, California. Phoenix, Arizona.

The film has been shown in them all in the past week or so.

Things are going to change tomorrow with the first of two screenings over the weekend during the British Film Institute London Film Festival. 9:15pm on Saturday and 2:15pm on Sunday to be precise.

The whole event started on Wednesday and continues until the following Sunday (18th Oct). Apparently there will be an impressive 240 films across the 12 days.

At the time of writing tickets are still available for both showings of Bone Tomahawk via the BFI website HERE.

BBFC Gives BT An 18

It was bound to happen.

It had to happen.

It really did.

Just ahead of the Bone Tomahawk showing at the BFI Film Festival, a month before the screening in the Abertoir event, and way ahead of the December general release of the movie in this part of the world, the UK rating organisation the BBFC has rendered its verdict.

Without the rating it is unlikely the film could be shown. It would require specific approval from the local council for a cinema to show it.

The film has been given the 18 rating, meaning, not surprisingly, that only those 18 years of age and older can legally watch it.

The brief reason given is, not surprisingly given the subject matter:

strong violence

You can read more details of the content that lead to that decision on the BBFC website HERE. I don’t think the text is particularly spoiler-laden, but you have been warned.

The UK December 11th release date, predicted here on KM UK back in September, has been confirmed recently.

Bone Tomahawk Goes For A Telluride

Maybe it’s the thin air.

Telluride is at over 2,500m (8,200ft) elevation above sea level, up in the mountains of south west Colorado. And, it’s in a deep, narrow valley too. There’s lots of mountain left above the town.

For the sixth time Telluride is holding a horror themed film festival over a long weekend, starting on Friday the 16th of October.

The Telluride Horror Show is a relatively new addition to the social calendar, they’ve had a regular film festival since the mid-70s.

A back-to-back showing (the first starts at 5:30pm) at the Nugget Theatre of Bone Tomahawk closes the event on Sunday night. Just how many more festivals can this movie close?

The festival comprises of another 20 feature films, some of them from outside the US, most of them quite new. There are a couple of classics in the mix too: The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Return Of The Living Dead.

There are also nearly 50 short films, again from all over the world, shown in various themed blocks.

All the details, including for tickets, can be found on the official website.
