However, asBone Tomahawkand its 25-year-old predecessor prove, it can be a match made in heaven.
The drama is unremittingly violent, centering on the cannibalistic habits of the antagonists.
This key detail clearly relatesBone Tomahawkto an underrated horror release Guy Pearce’s 1999 horror-Western,Ravenous.
As of writing,Ravenousis available to stream on Apple TV+.
In both films, cannibalism is more than a grisly excuse to feature some macabre set-pieces.
It has a thematic resonance, evoking the idea of consumption and humanity’s inherent barbarism.

There’s no doubt thatRavenousis a lot more sensationalist in its sensibilities thanBone Tomahawk.
There are several reasons for this.
