Also, Zoe will take the wheel away from Wash when things get tough, because, "Men can't do anything right, let a woman do it!" Kayleigh will inexplicably be able to use the Force with no training. Shepherd Book will die in the first episode when an alliance officer kneels on his neck.

Brawl in Cell Block 99 is out of control
All three of his features are great. That one in particular has my favorite soundtrack. Personally, my ratings are in perfect alignment with their release dates, from genius to very good. Full disclosure: total genre fan, horror heading the list.
Haven't seen Bone Tomahawk yet, it looks intimidatingly intense haha. The scene with the savage reaching in the guys mouth in the trailer gave me a serious case of the willies, and I am far from squeamish. Anything overly gratuitous? I mean Brawl was violent to the point of cringe at parts but nothing that made me feel genuinely uncomfortable like that Bone Tomahawk trailer did.
Oh my, yes. It is a western thriller at heart, with wonderful dialogue and chemistry between the characters, but there are definitely body horror elements in a couple gnarly scenes, so fair warning. For a little personal perspective, films with little to no gore like The Bad Seed (1956) or Psycho (1960) still scare the F out of me, but like many favorites, I've seen them and BT many times over. Then there are films that shook me and made me feel like a shower after like Henry: PoaSK or Snowtown... I recognize great art when I see it, but dang.
Yeah, Henry was just violence porn with no theme or message. Being properly unnerved shouldn't involve feeling like you've committed some foul sin. I feel the same way about a lot of movies though, I don't see the appeal in movies that are designed to be nauseatingly offensive for the sake of it. That said, to each their own, but my personal belief is most "fans" of whatever genre you'd call that care more about appearing edgy than they do about the actual material. "Hey, look at the weird shit I watch, isn't it weird? Watch me watch it!" To be clear, I'm not a square, I'm down with Cronenberg and the Coen Bros and so on, but I know straight up filth when I see it.
