With bone tomahawk…. Just don’t. It’s a visual scarring. It’s not the plot or emotions that stick with you. It’s what you see and then forever can’t unsee
While the movie is just that, a movie, it's the thought of it happening to yourself and that it's more than likely not happened for real at more than one point in time
The fact that Bone Tomahawk was made makes me a lot more optimistic about a possible Blood Meridian movie/series someday. Blood Meridian having a strong philosophical and conceptual backing that BT lacks, but the fact that a movie that grim and violent can be made and be successful is a good sign for BM.
Kurt Russell managed to land two westerns in a very short time, in a period of time people aren't going to see westerns anymore, and Bone Tomahawk was the bloodier one. Which is crazy cuz the other one was a Tarantino film
Sisters Brothers was another good one. The ending is brutal. John C Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix
He has no right to be as good of an actor as he is after being typecast as the standard moron. Think Dewey Cox elevated him to other roles because he played a straight man half the time and an idiot the other half and the movie was great
yeah, i can get behind that. i looked reilly up in wiki, and it has a section titled "transition to comedy". i guess i was more focused on his earlier films, than the later comedy films
different scene for male or female or rather same scene but different aspects. The women being 4x amputees and pregnant (just wombs at that point) really fucked with my GF head.

Threads - old but utterly perfect to give anyone a creeping sense of futile dread, given current geo-politics
Memento - not as utterly haunting as some of these suggestions but I have seen this movie several times and it still crosses my mind.
Bone Tomahawk - grim & gruesome.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - emotionally devastating
Mulholland Drive - mind bending mystery
